Any upper limb training movement will use the shoulder joint, whether it is chest training, back training, shoulder training, hand training, or even lower body deadlift, the shoulder joint will be used!

The following is a video introduction:
You can do it before you perform shoulder press training to activate your shoulder stabilizer muscles
The starting position is a press in front of the neck, and perform a forward press to halfway position, then turn your shoulders to move the barbell behind your neck and pause for a moment, then push it up halfway, turn your shoulders to move the barbell to the front of your neck
Benefits of doing this:
