Can't move arm over head - Doctor's orders

[Beefy131]

Hi Board,

My friend whom I've been working out with has a condition where his artery gets pinched easily. His doctor's orders to him were not to raise his arm above his head if he can help it. He's doing SS but without the presses. In their place he's been doing upright rows. He's making progress on the program using this as a substitute. Should he be doing something else in place of the press?

Thanks,

Christ. Upright fucking rows instead of presses. Just tell him to ask his doctor about it.
