My 13 year old son follows some of your workouts including performing various squats. He's involved in shoulder intensive sports, tennis and swimming - and I wonder if there is any risk to his shoulders from holidng the bar behind his neck. I have seen suggestions that young athletes avoid behind-the-neck shoulder presses and lat pull downs for that reason. (Or permit the bar to reach their chest while doing bench presses.)
Would it be appropriate for him to place the bar across the top of his chest for squats? Any disadvantages to this technique? He does perform some light weight rotator cuff excercises to improve stability.
Thank you to any and all for your input. Much appreciated!
