Alternatives for BTN Push Press

[matt1990]

Well, I need some alternatives. I had a scare last week when I lost control of the bar at 225 and it literally dropped on my shoulders and my one shoulder has been bugging the hell out of me ever since.

So, is there maybe something I could do in the mean time till I'm recovered?

Thanks guys,

You could use any other shoulder exercise bro... stop push pressing for a while and focusing on just straight pressing from the front, if your shoulder doesnt bother you on doing that.

Yeah, just do PPs from the front or standing OHP, or seated militaries, or deated d-bells, just about anything overhead will sub.

Do them in a cage with the safety bars set high so if you do drop it won't land on your shoulder?

Wish I would have thought about the safety bars earlier lol!

Would have savied be the trouble!
