But when you go behind the head stop at the bump on the back of your head, you go any lower and it stresses the rotar cuff to much and really doesn't help that much more with growth. Rob

But there is a higher risk of hurting yourself as with any behind the head exercise. If performing them behind the head besure to use strict form. ~billk~

If you want to go heavy on this exercise I recommend the Smith Machinel otherwise you are asking for trouble. .o0 Arnold 0o.
