Thread: bent presses and sets

You could always do DB military pressing. That will hit your lateral delts better because of the change in shoulder articulation.

The rep ranges should be the same regardless of exercise.

what the hell are bent presses?

It hits them more than bent pressing? Damn i tried bent presses and felt more definition in my lateral delts than i ever did with military pressing. I dont mean to be a pain or anything but could some of u guys try db bent presses and compare it to db military presses? Its more like this (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exer...ame=Bent+Press exept with a dumbell) though and ur hands rotate like when arnold pressing.

And cowpimp so its alright to do 4-6 sets when training for size? Many people do 3 sets for it.

Why not try See-Saw presses?

btw - The bent press is a good exercise, one requiring much practice like anything good.

I really don't think a bent press hits the delts as hard as a military press, but do as you please. I think it's a cool movement, albeit a little bit risky.

thats cool i just want people to try it and see which on they thought hit the lateral delts more.

Anyways karlw do see-saw presses do a good job for building lateral delt definition?

Sure. I mean it's basically an Arnie Press alternating and standing.

Risky on the back you mean? or not having the weight fall on your head?

when u see-saw press ur body leans a little bit to the sides so i dont know if thats gonna make a difference from regular arnold pressing. If it does please tell me.


Anyways can some of u guys try dumbell bent presses and compare it to military presses on ur lateral delt definition. This is how to do it http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exer...ame=Bent+Press exept with a dumbell and ur hands rotate like arnold pressing.

just drop that shit and do dumbbell overhead presses

I don't like the lumber spinal rotation combined with bearing weight. I don't think most people have the core strength for that kind of shit.

cowpimp would u segest regular db military presses for shoulder develpoment or seated sea-saw presses? Which one is more effective in ur opinion.

I really don't think it's going to make a significant difference.
