>I have no idea why it got memed as being dangerous.
Two groups of people
First group has shit shoulder mobility and is unable to do the movement correctly, therefore it's le bad for everyone
Second group has enough shoulder mobility, but complains about shoulder impingement. This outs them as being unable to move their scapula correctly, since when the movement is performed correctly, the scapula upwardly rotates, avoiding shoulder impingement.
[...]
Be consistent with them, I started doing them a year ago. Went from being unable to go down 1/8th of the way before falling to doing 10 full reps. I find that nordic curls are very easy to progress as long as you're consistent with them, there's just something special about that movement tbh, I haven't stalled a single time on them so far.
Also I HIGHLY recommend doing them band assisted if you can set it up, it's by far the best way to bridge to the full version since you can just keep reducing the band resistance until you can do 10-15 reps with your lightest band.

Thanks for the advice! I'm 2 weeks in and hitting them twice a week. I'll see where that gets me by the end of March and reassess from there.
This feels like very comfortable and "normal" lift to me and I have no idea why it got memed as being dangerous. I've never heard of even one person -AACKing because of a behind the neck movement. Sure there's that one WEBM of the dude doing a 2pl8+ BTN push press and his arms bending back but that couldn't have happened if he just did it in the rack with safeties like a non retard. Much like some idiot choking himself out on the bench because he decided to max out with no safeties/spotter, I don't count that as an AACK. If you don't have shit shoulder mobility (in which case you would feel the pain as you do the lift and thus would stop) what's the issue?
The thing is, his videos are aimed at retards who just want to lift to be a bit healthier, and if they did those movements, several would end up doing them wrong and potentially getting injured.
I think he operates with the assumption that people who know better will realize this, since they know better, so little real harm is done.

I just started training these. I can not go far but again, I just started. Gonna have bulletproof knees bros.

>Is there a guide for proper form on it?
Only thing that I need to cue is using my upper traps as much as I can to upwardly rotate the scapula. Once I started doing this I felt 0 pain in my left shoulder, which used to be hurt by that movement. Besides that just press the bar up lol
I don't do these strict with more than the bar but with leg drive I can do 120kg
The real dark souls of lifts is actually just snatching, this shit is way easier
That's cuz ur weak as fuck wth
Is this the power of klokov fanboys? Fainting over a 30kg press???
Concentric phase is relatively easy, but slow eccentric with right form is a whole journey.
No it isn't. Other anon was right. You're weak as fuck
>yea bro i'm doing 80kg on those for reps
No, this is. If you can do 10 of these strict you're strong as fuck

I hit an OHP PR. My new 1rm is 200lbs. Is that impressive at 209 lbs?
Definetly.
Anything below 1xbw is not impressive, no
Yes
t. Crab who can't OHP his bodyweight anyways
Found the dyel
my shoulders are too fucked for this.
Have you tried some kind of reabilitation?

Athlean x started spamming videos about it being bad
You need to eat more dude

I agree, I was just answering your question
Not my question, I was just adding my $0.02.

Because it's a stupid lift unless you have extremely good mobility
Not worth the risk
