Lee Boyce: @Tony G: Thanks buddy! Yeah, dips off a bench? Ain't nobody got time fo'dat!

Lee Boyce: @getbigger66: My last article talks about an elbows "under" position resulting in tension in the elbows due to forced external rotation with insufficient ROM to do so. Having said that, you may have the same kind of tightness, and since the start of a barbell press is in the same "elbows under" position, it's probably having the same effect on your elbows. It may be tough to drop, but try a neutral grip (or at least angled) dumbbell press for a phase and see if your elbows still get jacked up.

Tony Gentilcore: Great article Lee. I cringe every time I watch someone perform bench dips. It's just one of those exercises that has a very high risk to benefit reward.

getbigger66: Fantastic article. Whenever I strict overhead barbell press, chest to overhead, even light weight, I get severe pain in, not my shoulders, but in my elbows. It is getting to the point where I will be forced to drop this exercise, my favorite. Any suggestions on why this may be happening and what if anything I can do about it?

flightposite: Great explanation Mike I do believe that is the problem and this is the first time I've heard an explanation that makes sense to me. Thanks again I will check out Wills blog.

TheJonty: No mention of the Klokov complex with 205kg?
