Sure, if you take the time to feel and contract your deltoids. I'd say it's no better or worse than any other overhead press movement. It's what you make out of it and what agrees with your unique anatomy.
So you tell us if it's effective for you. |

The front delt is hardly ever lacking on people, so I’m not totally sure what advantage it has over standard OHP. I mix it in on occasion. |

What about Lu Raises? I can't stand them. Even before my shoulders were f'd there was too much cracking and popping for me. |

I don't see how it could be done under heavy load. That bottom stretch position would be impossible to hold with heavy weight. Also, the transition from being in front of you to going overhead makes it hard to manage balance. I don't see how you could do it heavy. |

Just thinking about that I can feel the tissue tearing in my shoulders.

Progressive overload can mean more reps too. To me, "heavy load" means < 8 reps, and I don't feel that the balancing act required by arnold presses is ideal for that rep range. I work with the assumption that every working set is done to failure or very near it, so even a "light set" still entails progressive overload. |

Exactly, so would I. My original point is that it might work well for some people. I am not one of those people. |

How, aside from overall shoulder stabilization? Look at the origins and insertions. The purpose of the rear delt is to draw the arm down and back. |
