On the Safety and Efficacy of Overhead Lifting

by Mark Rippetoe, Lon Kilgore, and Kelly Starrett

This month we respond to the oft-heard conjecture that lifting overhead is inherently dangerous—i.e., that it is destructive of the shoulder. Conjecture, by definition, is required neither to comport with fact nor to offer testable proposition, and, as such, it is a ready vehicle for those limited in the skills, focus, or desire required to give thoughtful examination on any topic.
