Perhaps the reason I use more overhead pressing is the fact, is that it was once stated that before the almost universal use of the bench press, there were hardly any shoulder related injuries from weight traininig but since the bench press has been used as the go to for upper body strength there have been an increase in in the prevalence of injuries to raotator cuff and related muscualature, plus I really like free standing movements, since we do play game on our feet after all, cheers, ashley
