Unsure on proper form for shoulder rasies?

[crossfic]

If you read a post i made a couple of months ago you will know i cannot do heavy presses/handstands due to a shoulder injury instead i have replaced them with high volume shoulder rasies ( Rear, front and lateral) normaly around 4setsx15-20 reps. This allows me to work them pain free However im not sure on hand position e.g. palms facing the floor, thumbs pointing up or palms to the sky? also shoulder i be packing my shoulders during these as it doesnt feel natural when i do? Any info will help as i dont not want to impinge or gain another injury to my shoulders, Many thanks!!

You do realize that this is not a weight lifting forum, right?

 

Do what doesn't hurt.

is this a permanent replacement or a temporary one as rehab to fix your shoulders so you can get back to doing what you like with them?  such as handstands etc.

this is a weight lifting forum in a sense, we just lift our own weight more so than external weight.  Also a lot of people here including yourself, from what I have read, lift weights along side or even just as prehab/rehab and have discussed such things many times on this website so i think your comment was a little uncalled for josh.

I would love to help out with your question crossfic but I am no expert.  like josh said just do what doesnt hurt and what feels natural. 
 

keep it controlled and if you like you can do 2 or 3 different positions for some variety im sure it couldnt hurt.

I'd personally try and imitate gst moves with the shoulder raises.  for example front raises palms up arms straight ( kinda of like a straight arm planche press to handstand)   lateral (like an inverted iron cross obviously you are not going heavy with these movements though) and rear (like a manna palms facing down). Again these are just my very uneducated opinions on the matter.  hopefully someone else might like the chime in.
