I am looking to add these to my training again*. However, from my ROP days, they have left me with huncing shoulders. A physio I saw about a year ago asked me if I'd done a lot of bench or overhead pressing.
I have never heard anyone else mention this as an issue, so the problem was me and my form. In those days I was just bothered about putting the weight up, I wasn't bothered about correct technique. I just wanted to add muscle.
Now, in my early middle age I can't get away with this approach. Form must be first so I'm not storing-up a whole lot of probs for later on. I am going to see a local(ish) SFG when the law in the UK allows (I am not sure where we're up to, exactly, with this type of service/business being open).
To give me some pointers in the meantime, what is the correct groove up and down for the MP?
Imagine you are looking down, birds eye view. What angle should your humerus be at, for example?
*I had a temporary shoulder issue/injury which stopped me from doing them but it's now fine
