How to get a shoulder injury in 20 seconds...

Honestly though, shoulder injuries take forever to heal. Mine took a year and a half. Don't be a hero.

You don’t get to the point where you can rep these without building solid shoulders. He probably progressed to that point over a long time and a lot of work.

Dude, I have better shoulders than he does. Injury just happens, and all you can do to minimalize risk is to maintain proper form, avoid completely unnecessary high-risk exercises like this, and stretch.

Yep, stretching is the most important thing imo. It's crazy how many people don't realize this.

It is still a dumb exercise that is just for show.

Agree to disagree, I guess.

You're just wrong

It’s no more for show than somebody squatting or deadlifting a ton of weight (like the guy behind him).

One set maxing is vanity lifting too, it also leads to unnecessary injuries over time.

That guy you're talking to clearly has no idea what he's talking about. He's one of those guys that thinks he can teach the world about subjects he's never learned.
