Really good info. I tend to do OHP with about a 45° angle on the dumbbell because I feel like it’s a healthier position for my shoulders. Am I on the right track?
Instead of my hands being parallel to my shoulders, I turn them slightly so the end of the dumbbell closest to me is pointed toward my shoulder a bit. It feels like less opportunity for impingement. Am I ruining the move?
I think I can see that. that's mostly fine. ideally with pressing you want the thoracic spine relatively neutral and the scap more protracted (not squeezed together)
then hand/elbow placement doesn't matter as much unless you're at the extremes.

You’d have to show me a pic or something, I’m having a hard time visualizing that.

Thanks you.
