JRT6:
Ld13, I put fat gripz on the handles to get the fat grip effect. BX it took me a few years to work up to 140lb push ups even though I used to bench over 400. Getting the vest on is a pain in the ass. I have to lie down on the ground, slide into the vest, then basically do a Turkish get up. For lower rep days I add a 22lb pound chain too. Boyce I don't have dumbells but the swiss bar works great for the standing strict OHP too. I don't have to deal with heaving the dumbells up either.
Id13:
As for the "Perfect Push-up" device someone mentioned, I think that is a pretty cool concept, but the way it digs into my hand is really problematic when using one. Not sure if it is rubbing a nerve or what it is, but the pain I get is more "something is wrong" than the "this is just unpleasant" type of pain you normally get while lifting. It does increase forearm activation though.
Id13:
I also had the "good fortune" of finding out my Acromion type recently due to a torn labrum. I'm in the slight majority with a type 2. I really like one arm push-up for horizontal pressing (if you can do them). I still find it hard to get a proper scap/humeral rythm going with those, unless you are doing them one armed and have your shoulder hanging off the bench. But that does give the advantage of allowing one to rotate their shoulder while pressing, making it ever more safe.
Id13:
Cool article as always Lee. In regards to the Aranarth question and your answer, I saw a cool variation Ben Bruno has where you one-arm snatch a weight overhead, and then lower it so can more effectively overload the eccentric of the overhead press...might not be quite as a safe due to the added weight. However, I like the difference in the weight hangs on kettlebells compared to dumbbells for overhead pressing.
Lee Boyce:
@rykers: No. But you can make an educated guess based on how susceptible you are to impingement. If standard, basic pressing gives you hell, chances are you're in the worse or worst of the 3 categories. If changing your grip or switching to dumbbells eases the pain, then you've found an alternative :)
rykers:
Is there any way someone could tell which shoulder type one has without a scan of some sort?
