Been doing this 2 weeks now. I like it.

No way does it replace my old shoulder routine, but it's a very nice finisher.

As a side note, if you're getting shoulder pain from over head presses, you're probably going too low. Stop the bar at a point even with your nose or mouth. Anything lower takes the weight from the muscle and puts it on the joint.

This comment I just don't get:

"My guys don't have time to spend twenty minutes on shoulder work. But if they do two or three rounds of the Shoulder Shocker, they're hitting everything they need to hit in 3-5 minutes"

I've had to dramatically change the way I train after the third shoulder surgery last year. I can still press, (although smith machines, behind the neck etc are most definitely out), but I don't do anything heavy anymore. I push a lot more reps through now at lower weight and I'd say my shoulders have responded better in some respects.

BUT, and it's huge but, you aren't building huge shoulders without heavy pressing. It worked out ok for me, I already had big shoulders. Isolation movements only do so much in terms of mass. The guys and girls with huge delts press or at least used to press heavy.

Definitely worth a try. I very rarely do any type of barbell overhead presses any more. I do some with DB which allow alot more freedom of movement. I cringe everytime I see someone doing a behind the neck press on the smith machine...good buy shoulders...

Thanks for sharing. Tomorrow is shoulder day. May give it a shot.

Nice read! Thanks!
