    I've recently switched to DB OHP, I figure you are the best person to ask about the lift.

    Seated or standing? If is difficult to rack the dB when the weight gets heavy?
    Unilateral or isolateral? Does it matter


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    I would always go with single arm standing DB presses.Have never been a fan of seated DB shoulder presses, awkward getting the dbs up and down, and if u have to bail your either denting your head or smashing the floor.

    I also think you can get way more out of single arm shoulder work.

    My thinking was that I'm doing them standing then single arm makes more sense. Even just from the logistics of getting them up. But If I do them seated, then double arm makes more sense to keep stability.


    I might just do both. Will be interested to see if I'm stonger on single arm.

    I think the main thing is to do them in a shed, near firewood.

    Have taken progress pics but the conditions (lighting, distance from camera, pump vs no pump) haven't been consistent so no point using them.

    No point using this pic, good lighting + pump + leanest parts on show, unless I want to do a dodgy before and after.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,550 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Good, consistent cut by the sounds of it.

    You tracking or just going by eye and keeping a mental tally?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    Record my weight every morning and I have it charted as to where it should be if I lose one pound per week. I haven't been monitoring calories as my daily activity can vary hugely, but once I get down a bit lower I will start tracking it.

    Also measuring my waist
