Standing Behind the Neck Barbell Shoulder Press

The Standing Behind the Neck Barbell Shoulder Press can be beneficial for shoulder development but requires caution. Common mistakes include excessive arching of the back and using too much weight, which can strain the shoulders and neck. To avoid this, engage your core and use a manageable weight. Smart adjustments include performing the exercise in front of the head to reduce shoulder strain. Beginners should start with lighter weights or use a Smith machine for stability. Advanced users can increase weight gradually or incorporate tempo variations. Always prioritize form over weight to maximize benefits safely.
