Is there an alternative to OHP?

I cant do them anymore, I get extreme pain in my right shoulder.. even if I lift my arm up with no weights.

I dont have pain when I do front/lateral raises. Are these enough for the shoulders?

Incline bench press is fine, no problems there... just lifting my right shoulder is bad.

Can I just do raises for my shoulders? Or is the OHP 100 % necessary and crucial?

Have you tried DB arnold presses or just simple DB Shoulder Presses (seated) ??

First off, the short answer is indeed diet/exercise (ie: caloric deficit, plenty of physical activity, generally reduced carbs/increased protein, sufficient sleep, sufficient hydration, proper supplementation, etc.)

It will take you a while to reduce body fat % to the area you want, usually the last place being the stomach region. Just keep cutting and eventually you will reach the area you want.

Creatine should be Micronized Creatine Monohydrate. Take 5g, 4x per day for the first week, then do 5g, 1x per day each day after that. Mix it with water or a shake. You can take it year round, but I advise a de-load of at least 1 month per year.

Just the seated ones, but I assume with the arnold press would be the same thing since my shoulders are going up as well no?

Btw I was told Creatine monohydrate is only/mainly used for bulking and that it's not good for cutting. Would you agree?

He recommends if I want to take creatine to take:
Weider double buffered krea genic

Have you heard of this? Or this type of creatine?

Quote (SKCRaynor @ Oct 11 2017 10:02am)

No. Creatine is also used for cutting. There is a minimal amount of water retention using creatine, however, it can actually increase the fat burning process.

Yes, its krealkalyn basically. I used to recommend this stuff several years ago, but more recent studies have shown micronized creatine monohydrate to be much better overall. Buffered creatine is basically creatine with added sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to adjust for pH.

The arnold presses add a different angle/twist to the motion.
