Is doing behind the neck presses on the smith better then doing dumbbell presses? ?

Question

i can handle 80 pound dumbbells fairly easy for 12 reps. seeing that one can handle more weight on the smith what would you recommend. try to get stronger on presses or jump right into neck presses on the smith. i really want to get my shoulders bigger. please help.

Answer 1

Dumbbells add a stabilization challenge and let you work both sides equally in case of muscle imbalances. This makes dumbbells great for assistance exercises, but not for main exercises.

Honestly, it's good to use both machines and free weights.

Variety is the spice of life. So I hear...

Answer 2

behind the neck presses wont do **** but give you injuries

try the front...
