As far as behind-the-neck presses, I might do them every third or fourth workout with moderate weight. I really don't do them to failure because of the awkward position. I keep the weight moderate so I can keep the weight under control throughout the set. I like the variation.

They remind of behind-the-neck pulldowns. I used to do them instead of pulldowns to the front because because I could feel it in my sides more. After awhile the awkwardness took its toll and bothered my shoulders and arms too much. If I ever do them now, it's usually for 8-10 reps with weight around 60-70 lbs (just something at the end of a workout to flush a little blood in.)
