I want to know your thoughts on standing barbell overhead press vs seated dumbbell overhead press. I'm currently doing the standing barbell press as my main shoulder movement. but as i progress to higher weights i feel some minor pains in my lower back ( this is probably from hyper-extending my back while doing the lift).
Weak shoulder, dumbbell press. When I do overhead dumbbell press, or flat dumbbell press; after a few sets, when I start to get fatigued, the left shoulder becomes kind of loose. I can still lift, but it feels like the joint can rotate easily, in a way such that I'm not able to hold the weight up. It feels like the arm can suddenly fall ...

Now in the last few days I've rested it but have noticed even when doing the motion of the overhead dumbbell press without any weight my acromion is popping/clicking, however ...

Overhead pressing will have less chest involvement than incline pressing, which is conventionally performed at a 15-45 degree angle.
