because of olympic lifts I do I have really good shoulder flexibility and strength, so behind neck stuff is no problem

train those rotator cuffs!

Pullups in front.
Much more natural than behind.
Less chance of injury also.

I like reverse grip pulldowns to the front, with a good squeeze at the back, get a really full range of motion

i use to do them behind when i started but i had no idea what muscles i was work.

now i do them in front but leaning back slightly so as to work a bit on biceps and upper back. A bit like doing dumdbell rows i guess...

Ouch, your waist is 36-37" : chest 35"
That would make your chest smaller than your waist and you lost 2" on your arms.

i also doubt you have 45% body fat.
I have seen women get up around 30% and maybe a guy or two at that but this is rare.
You are probably 20-25%

see this is one of those things where Im not sure if its a fitness myth or not. Is it really that bad to do presses/chins behind the neck?

If you go deep it is bad on the rotator cuff.
Not a natural movement either.

ANy behind the neck movement isnt functional and is a danger to the Rotator Cuff and AC joint. Front every time.
