ROM thread question
What are peoples thoughts?
check out this clip of Dexter doing dumbell shoulder press Olympia: The Series 2008 - Olympia Contender Dexter Jackson! I've always done full ROM, over time I see so many vids of pro's doing less than full ROM. Is it just a pre contest thing or all all season? Do you feel it works the intended muscle as well?

How he does them is how I have always done them. Never knew any other way to do shoulder presses. looks like a pretty full range shoulder press to me.

the dumbells only seem to come down asa far as his ears, when I do them I touch the top of my shoulder at the bottom part of the movement. His elbows don't go past 90 degrees

i am pretty sure coming down that far takes a lot of the shoulder muscle out of the movement and more into the upper back/lats.

I think ear level or just below is about as far as you need to go.

I think its kind of an optical illusion. It seems like their ROM might not seem full because they are so fucking big.

I'm with the majority on this one about the shoulder press. As for chest, no I don't touch my chest.

I go elbow to where my shoulder is, never letting it drop below. Upper arms are parallel to the ground,
I dont see how the location of your ear makes a shit of a difference.  I go to arms parallel with the floor when I do flat bench chest exercises too.

I suppose its different with me, I always bring it down to my chest and that seems to send my upper arms past 90, but then maybe my forearm is longer than all of yours, they say its related to your dick size so it probably is longer than most of yours

Bringing the bar your chest would put anyone's elbows behind their shoulder joints - stop touching your chest unless...
You've adducted your shoulder blades to the point they're touching and your rear delts are holding them into the bench - then the movement comes lower on the chest (just to/slightly below nipple line) and the whole exercise switchs to a controlled power exercise - great for overall upper body development including back, shoulders, arms and core right along with chest.... Change it up and go with neck presses or reverse grip work if you are focusing on giving yourself a change but never...... Stray away from your compound movements while staying safe - arms never below/behind shoulders....
