Quick tip for everyone, who trains shoulders - please, please,please don't forget about proper warmup and include stability static exercises in your program. Stay safe. good luck
First time I’ve seen such sensible and excellent advice ..until the 5 min mark. After almost 6 decades of working out, have seen far too many shoulder impingements with the rest. Good video.! Thanks .
This captivated me, straight to point with quality videos showing the reps. This also has to be a rare video of someone saying to not overload on weight for lateral raises.
It's worth doing a rotator cuff warm up first! I do dumbbell upright external rotation (what a name) with the lightest dumbbells before anything else and my shoulder feels a lot more stable and haven't had any injuries since!
Warming up the rotator cuffs is a great idea but be careful not to push them too hard before a workout or else they may fail during a larger compound movement. If you warm them up gently before and work them harder at the end you can get the best of both worlds.
I know when you first started making videos, you were so nervous, but man, YOU are what we like. You're so calm, attractive, you speak in terms that everyone can understand.. and the memes? oh man, that alien addition was hilarious!😅There's reason that your channel is growing so fast, and its all of those things I just named.
There are many health RUclipsrs in Korea, but there is no one like this person who tells the point or movement accurately. I'm always enjoying it. I'll look forward to a better video.
The last one you mentioned, Lu Raises, are absolutely phenomenal for deathstar delts. Probably my favourite shoulder exercise atm. Insane growth after implementing 9-12 sets of them a week after OHP, and the pump is disgusting. Also works your traps at the same time and is generally the goat for long term shoulder health. Can never go wrong with Lu Raises.
You are getting better at your craft. The first 60 seconds are great, I actually laughed out loud after the rear delt bit. You improve at a good rate :)
LU Raises (the movement you mentioned at the end) are great; I use tham towards the end of my shoulder focused workout (after all of the movements you prescribe) and definitely think they're a worthy addition. Great video, here's to 100K subscribers soon!
I have been doing them at the very beginning of my shoulder days for the past year and nothing comes close to hitting my shoulders like the Lu raises. It's the first time I've seen any striations in my delts

The Arnold press has a time and place if you do it right. You separated the supination and pressing whereas it should be essentially an underhand press until half way through and you turn to overhand. The underhand portion puts more load on your front delt getting your arms in front of you and the overhand portion gives you more range of motion. I enjoy using it as a hand stand push-up accessory because it hits a similar range of motion on your shoulders, much like a correctly done plate press.
Absolutely, he was performing it robotically and I would even say incorrectly, you let the shoulders come down and in front of the body to get a better stretch on the front delt. It should be a smooth motion and feel like you’re corkscrewing the dumbbells. Great variation of regular DB presses.
Not really to be honest. Arnold press is pretty trash. You’d be much better off doing 2 dif exercises targeting the muscles. It’s pretty common knowledge the Arnold press isn’t very optimal
@@JFernandoRRocher yeah it helped with mine because due to weak rotator cuffs I couldn’t keep my elbows in but an Arnold press(as well as plate press, I won’t say it was an exclusive thing) strengthened me in the movement pattern
I have a feeling this channel is going to get really big. Your information is great, and you seem like a really honest and nice guy. Keep it up, and I know I'm going to stick around.
Honestly, you nail the information when it comes to work out videos, you even covered by far the most important things: 1) Form breakdown (i.e. other muscles taking over) and 2.) Muscle memory. Just one tip, focus on the Supraspinatus, Teres and Infraspinatus, as well as the delts, they will keep you stable and they help you recover so much faster. Just a lesson from a middle aged guy who wished he'd known it earlier in life. Too many times i see guys in the gym churning weight but its all developing the Traps, which is great but (from experience) the moment you have a shoulder injury, you are screwed because the Traps won't help.
I have never seen the Arnold Press perform like that. I saw the AP first in the 1980s, the idea was instead of elbows out and weight pressed up, it is elbows in, triceps against the ribs, palms toward you, the DBs pressed directly up with elbows swinging out, the hand rotates as elbows go out and you reach the top of the press, which does not have to be taken to full tricep extension. Think of it more as an "elbow raise" like a lateral raise with the weights above the hands. The weight is moving straight up and a very full range of motion as you are deeper in stretch at the bottom. The AP is an adaptation of the Scott Press, which also has minimal tricep extension, basically, a weights-up press, and elbows raised. These are great "pressing" movements when you have elbow tendon issues as arms do not have to go straight and you still get a full contraction.
I hope one day be like you I'm trying to follow your workouts, I've been watching your videos and this is my best discover in 2023 thanks man, keep making content
Small tip. Start with rear delts. Most people leave them for the end but by then you’re already tired and can’t give as much effort in them. This way you can get a great contraction from the start
@@SuceMonZb0ubit’s up to you. I just find the rear delts fatigue faster because of how small they are. Once they fatigue it’s hard to get a good contraction and your traps and back end up doing most of the work. So hitting them first helps get a good contraction. Plus you generally have over developed front delts anyways so I see no priority to hit them first. That just leaves your side and rear delts. Honestly it’s not even a big deal, at this point it’s just nerding out about working out
Great video. For me shoulders is one of the weakest/hardest areas to develop. I saw gains in form of strength but not so much in defined muscle development. One thing that helped in that regard was incorporating bands for lateral raises. It wasn't so much the resistance curve, but rather that I could strap the band around my forearm. Not having to close my hand to grip a weight really helped me achieve a better mind/muscle connection.
Hey Colin you popped up on my feed today, I've been looking at quite a few shoulder workout videos lately. Yours is by far the best. I'm going to implement pretty much this as my shoulder routine. Thanks man great video. Love how you give different variations for people who don't go to the gym. Best of luck man.
Great video. As someone who is constantly busy and doesn't always have time to rush to the gym, it's nice to get some other at-home variations I can do quickly/easily before the rest of my day starts. Thanks man 👌
The arnold press if done in one motion should have a vertical path from too to bottom as a narrow ohp. The forearms only rotate to acomodate for the space the weight takes up to reach full depth. You can definitely build strength and size with healthier shoulders and range of motion. Stopping the weight by your ears with your elbows flared compared to proper arnold press is like compared a quarter low bar back squat to an atg front squat.
Exactly. What was shown in this video is not a properly executed Arnold press. I see loads of people do what is shown in this video and call it an Arnold press but it just isn't. When performed correctly as you described it's a great exercise.
My guy! I have nothing buy love for the Arnold press. If you can't keep the weight steady at all angles throughout that lift, what's the point of the muscle?
I really liked your way of explaining things. You also mentioned some workouts which we can do without any equipment such as lateral raises with the backpack and face pulls with bedsheets and I would like to request you to make a video on them specifically "How to workout at home without any equipment". ☺️
Hey mate, could you make a video showing how to implement a gym at home, like what could be the basics and priorities depending on the budget Thanks for the shoulders video it really help Peace
Low low budget resistance bands are great. Especially for building form. After that you only need maybe 3 weights. And a bar. You cut cost and only use the donut weights but they aren't great to hold. A bench is also pretty nice
At 56, all I’ve really ever done is military press, then front/side/bent over laterals in one big superset. I also hit a speed bag for 15-20 minutes a couple times a week. That definitely makes your shoulders burn.
Thank you my dude, I’ve just done shoulder day wish I saw this before I finished. Definitely be looking forward to trying some of these exercises next time
On cable rows for rear delts: I've started using ankle cuffs around the elbow to get rid of biceps involvement. Same for lat pulls. I only started recently, so I haven't noticed anything yet. But nobody has told me that I'm weird yet. We'll see how this goes.
Thanks for the practical advice and the humor throughout the video. I constantly struggle with building shoulders (long lanky arms) and I started doing Arnold presses but I’m just not getting that…”pop” I’ve made some gains but it feels off. Going to try these Egyptian raises. Thanks again 💪🏾
A Step by Step Workout: Step 1: Assessment and Goal Setting Before starting any new workout program, it's essential to assess your current shoulder strength and size. Take measurements and pictures to track progress over time. Set clear and achievable goals for your shoulder development, whether it's aesthetics, strength, or both. Step 2: Front Delt Development Exercise: Military Press 1. Start with a warm-up to prevent injury. Perform 5-10 minutes of light cardio and dynamic shoulder stretches. 2. Do 3-4 sets of military presses with a heavy weight that allows you to perform 5-10 reps with proper form. 3. Maintain proper form by slightly tucking your elbows and pushing the weight overhead. 4. Rest for 60-90 seconds between sets. 5. Gradually increase the weight as you progress. Step 3: Accessory Movements for Front Delt Exercise: Front Raises 1. After military presses, move on to front raises. 2. Choose between cable or dumbbell variations for front raises. 3. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps with proper form, focusing on the contraction of the front delt. 4. Avoid exercises like the Arnold press and curl the press to prevent unnecessary strain on your shoulders. Step 4: Side Delt Development Exercise: Lateral Raises 1. Incorporate lateral raises into your routine to target the lateral deltoids. 2. Use cables or dumbbells for this exercise. 3. Perform 3 sets of 12-15 reps with strict form, emphasizing the mind-muscle connection. 4. Focus on grip, hand positioning, and the path of movement. Step 5: Variety in Workouts Exercise: Upright Rows 1. Add variety to your shoulder workouts with upright rows. 2. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps. 3. Maintain proper form and avoid raising your elbows past shoulder level. Step 6: Rear Delt Development Exercise: Cable Exercises (e.g., Double-Arm Reverse Cable Flies and Face Pulls)* 1. Target the rear delt specifically with cable exercises. 2. Perform 3 sets of 12-15 reps for each exercise. 3. If you don't have access to cable machines, consider using dumbbells, Rings, TRX, or homemade equipment as alternatives. Step 7: Workout Schedule 1. Plan your shoulder workouts 2-3 times a week, allowing sufficient recovery time between sessions. 2. Rotate exercises to maintain variety and continuously challenge your shoulder muscles. Step 8: Nutrition and Rest 1. Ensure you're getting enough protein to support muscle growth. 2. Consume a well-balanced diet with a caloric surplus if your goal is muscle gain. 3. Get adequate sleep and allow your muscles to recover between workouts. Step 9: Tracking Progress 1. Regularly track your shoulder development by taking measurements, photos, and noting your strength progress. 2. Adjust your workout routine and nutrition as needed to keep progressing toward your goals. Took a lot of effort to make this. I would appreciate you guys following it! Also insane value provided by Colin!
Awesome channel ! Straight to the point, calm, informative, some great info that you don't find anywhere else. I subbed with the bell and I'll talk about you to my friends :)
Im going to give you guys the best tip ever. Egyptian raise with a BARBELL. The contraction is phenomenal. My side delts are my best body part because of this. The weight distribution of a barbell FORCEs your wrist to lock out differently to a dumbbell. This snowballs up your arm forcing the best contraction you will ever feel . Keeps you humble as well as you can’t go as heavy as you’d like. I’m on 15kg preloaded barbell after doing this for nearly 8 years.
I had a major growth spurt since i started doing sets of 15 - 20 reps, i had to drop the weight at first to hit 15 - 20 but now i'm lifting around 130% of what my 1rm's used to be and it's only been 6 weeks... i feel like i wasted years of potential at the gym when i was doing 6, 8 & 10rep sets, but at least i figured it out eventually 🙂
Man I started doing 10-15 reps (ocasionally 15-20 especially on lateral raises) on most of my lifts at the beginning of January. The mind muscle connection and the pump is way better than doing 6-8 reps, plus the gains are def showing.
I agree. I just started doing 15 rep sets a few weeks ago for most exercises and the results have been much better than 6-12 reps. I feel way more muscle contraction and have better form by dropping the weight.
For all those who work out for aesthetics, remember that 90% of the battle is: Good lighting Having a pump Empty stomach Moisturizer and/or oils Having a genetic predisposition for certain muscles Don't feel bad if you don't look a certain way, it doesn't mean you look bad 😁
Hi Collin, first off, I am new to your channel. I just got a gym membership because I really want to improve my health, get fit like Bruce Lee haha ;) But honestly I am serious about working out now especially as a skinny 30 year old dude. I used to work out from time to time as well. The arnold press, thank you for saving me that time. I was doing those and found them frustrating. So I will stick to the good ol shoulder presses. Your videos are going to come in handy for me. Thank you and I love how hard you push yourself. Keep at it!
Front delts 1. Stand over head barbell press 0:58 , seated dumb bell press 1:06 , pike push ups 0:59, or front raises Side delts 2. Cable Lateral raises, dumbbell raises, or upright row Rear delts 3. Double arm reverse cable flys 5:41, face pull 5:44, rear delt rows 5:53, or bent over rows 5:57
hey colin, i just want you to know that i see noticeable gains on my shoulders thanks to this video. I appreciate the knowledge you have given me. Thank you.
what works for me. Start with SEATED lateral raises with db, slightly inclined (fowards), then proceed to a SEATED db row for posteriors (do it like like invertion of a chest press, raising the db up, not to your waist as you'd do for your standard back rows) then proceed to regular SEATED db presses. Always start with laterals then proceed to the other two
Thanks for this great program for shoulders. I do most of these but you really helped explain how it ties together. p.s. That earring is distracting af and detracts from your great symmetry dude. But you do you.
Just found this channel. So far, it's one of the only videos I've been able to follow from start to finish. Simple and the low-key humor is an added bonus. "Never let your shoulders know your next move" 🤣🤣🤣
Super appreciate you showing the backpack and sheet knot methods - too poor for gym or weights, so it’s great to see body weight options with stuff around the house as well.
As an egyptian who does 16 sets of cable lateral raises a week, I had no idea this variant existed. Thank you

Thanks for clearing that up. I love Arnold presses, but you got to do them properly.
I hope one day be like you I'm trying to follow your workouts, I've been watching your videos and this is my best discover in 2023 thanks man, keep making content
Thank you! I will and you got it just stay consistent that’s the key
Your killing it fellow ginger king 🤴
Love that you show alternatives and variations that are more easily accessible for anyone.
Thank you for including homemade ways of doing those excercises ;D
Small tip. Start with rear delts. Most people leave them for the end but by then you’re already tired and can’t give as much effort in them. This way you can get a great contraction from the start
thanks man. Will do this going forward
I don’t get it, starting with rear delts just means you want to prioritize them right? Or does it have benefits on the other exercises?
@@SuceMonZb0ubit’s up to you. I just find the rear delts fatigue faster because of how small they are. Once they fatigue it’s hard to get a good contraction and your traps and back end up doing most of the work. So hitting them first helps get a good contraction.
Plus you generally have over developed front delts anyways so I see no priority to hit them first. That just leaves your side and rear delts.
Honestly it’s not even a big deal, at this point it’s just nerding out about working out
@@chrisbaltazar7164 aight thanks for clarifying, makes sense!
Great video. For me shoulders is one of the weakest/hardest areas to develop. I saw gains in form of strength but not so much in defined muscle development. One thing that helped in that regard was incorporating bands for lateral raises. It wasn't so much the resistance curve, but rather that I could strap the band around my forearm. Not having to close my hand to grip a weight really helped me achieve a better mind/muscle connection.
Thanks for watching if you have any video ideas or anything I could help with please let me know!
this vid is funny af!!! what about some leg gain exercises 🤔
Maybe like a calve or neck video
@@8jackrusselterrier lol thanks and I can definitely make a video on that
@evolving minds definitely I still have more calisthenic videos coming!
Ur too real bro, thanks man. My journey getting started right
It's rare for me to subscribe to a channel after watching only 1 video, but you got me. Good job.
Hey Colin you popped up on my feed today, I've been looking at quite a few shoulder workout videos lately. Yours is by far the best. I'm going to implement pretty much this as my shoulder routine. Thanks man great video. Love how you give different variations for people who don't go to the gym. Best of luck man.
Great video. As someone who is constantly busy and doesn't always have time to rush to the gym, it's nice to get some other at-home variations I can do quickly/easily before the rest of my day starts. Thanks man 👌
6:15 "Never let the shoulders know the next move"
This guy’s chill explanation is great. Hate those videos where it’s 15 minutes explaining why it’s important and giving me an anatomy class.
2:46 my new favourite one-worded word: lateralraises
The arnold press if done in one motion should have a vertical path from too to bottom as a narrow ohp. The forearms only rotate to acomodate for the space the weight takes up to reach full depth. You can definitely build strength and size with healthier shoulders and range of motion. Stopping the weight by your ears with your elbows flared compared to proper arnold press is like compared a quarter low bar back squat to an atg front squat.
Exactly. What was shown in this video is not a properly executed Arnold press. I see loads of people do what is shown in this video and call it an Arnold press but it just isn't. When performed correctly as you described it's a great exercise.
My guy! I have nothing buy love for the Arnold press. If you can't keep the weight steady at all angles throughout that lift, what's the point of the muscle?
I really liked your way of explaining things. You also mentioned some workouts which we can do without any equipment such as lateral raises with the backpack and face pulls with bedsheets and I would like to request you to make a video on them specifically "How to workout at home without any equipment". ☺️
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. Just finished it and I gotta give you your props. This was great. Type of content I like to see.
Your channel has helped me the most out of any fitness channel everything you do is simple and easy to understand
One word: lateral raises.
4 words: you are incorrect
4 words: Never skip rear delts day
Seven words: My cat's breath smells like cat food.
Lateralraises.
@@CrackedMBthat’s 3 words bruh 😭😭😭
Hey mate, could you make a video showing how to implement a gym at home, like what could be the basics and priorities depending on the budget
Thanks for the shoulders video it really help
Peace
Low low budget resistance bands are great. Especially for building form. After that you only need maybe 3 weights. And a bar. You cut cost and only use the donut weights but they aren't great to hold. A bench is also pretty nice
"One word, lateral raises"
The delivery on "one word: lateral raises" was enjoyed. Thank you.
Great and informative video!!
3:17 thank you for teaching us how to better ourselves but also blessing us with important history knowledge 😂
At 56, all I’ve really ever done is military press, then front/side/bent over laterals in one big superset. I also hit a speed bag for 15-20 minutes a couple times a week. That definitely makes your shoulders burn.
Thank you my dude, I’ve just done shoulder day wish I saw this before I finished. Definitely be looking forward to trying some of these exercises next time
Your humor is so underrated 😂😂😂😂😂So effortless!
I like how informal your videos are. Please always keep it like this
Front delts 0:46
Side delts 2:48
Rear delts 5:26
On cable rows for rear delts: I've started using ankle cuffs around the elbow to get rid of biceps involvement. Same for lat pulls. I only started recently, so I haven't noticed anything yet. But nobody has told me that I'm weird yet. We'll see how this goes.
Thanks for the practical advice and the humor throughout the video. I constantly struggle with building shoulders (long lanky arms) and I started doing Arnold presses but I’m just not getting that…”pop” I’ve made some gains but it feels off. Going to try these Egyptian raises. Thanks again 💪🏾
A Step by Step Workout:
Step 1: Assessment and Goal Setting
Before starting any new workout program, it's essential to assess your current shoulder strength and size. Take measurements and pictures to track progress over time. Set clear and achievable goals for your shoulder development, whether it's aesthetics, strength, or both.
Step 2: Front Delt Development
Exercise: Military Press
1. Start with a warm-up to prevent injury. Perform 5-10 minutes of light cardio and dynamic shoulder stretches.
2. Do 3-4 sets of military presses with a heavy weight that allows you to perform 5-10 reps with proper form.
3. Maintain proper form by slightly tucking your elbows and pushing the weight overhead.
4. Rest for 60-90 seconds between sets.
5. Gradually increase the weight as you progress.
Step 3: Accessory Movements for Front Delt
Exercise: Front Raises
1. After military presses, move on to front raises.
2. Choose between cable or dumbbell variations for front raises.
3. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps with proper form, focusing on the contraction of the front delt.
4. Avoid exercises like the Arnold press and curl the press to prevent unnecessary strain on your shoulders.
Step 4: Side Delt Development
Exercise: Lateral Raises
1. Incorporate lateral raises into your routine to target the lateral deltoids.
2. Use cables or dumbbells for this exercise.
3. Perform 3 sets of 12-15 reps with strict form, emphasizing the mind-muscle connection.
4. Focus on grip, hand positioning, and the path of movement.
Step 5: Variety in Workouts
Exercise: Upright Rows
1. Add variety to your shoulder workouts with upright rows.
2. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
3. Maintain proper form and avoid raising your elbows past shoulder level.
Step 6: Rear Delt Development
Exercise: Cable Exercises (e.g., Double-Arm Reverse Cable Flies and Face Pulls)*
1. Target the rear delt specifically with cable exercises.
2. Perform 3 sets of 12-15 reps for each exercise.
3. If you don't have access to cable machines, consider using dumbbells, Rings, TRX, or homemade equipment as alternatives.
Step 7: Workout Schedule
1. Plan your shoulder workouts 2-3 times a week, allowing sufficient recovery time between sessions.
2. Rotate exercises to maintain variety and continuously challenge your shoulder muscles.
Step 8: Nutrition and Rest
1. Ensure you're getting enough protein to support muscle growth.
2. Consume a well-balanced diet with a caloric surplus if your goal is muscle gain.
3. Get adequate sleep and allow your muscles to recover between workouts.
Step 9: Tracking Progress
1. Regularly track your shoulder development by taking measurements, photos, and noting your strength progress.
2. Adjust your workout routine and nutrition as needed to keep progressing toward your goals.
Took a lot of effort to make this. I would appreciate you guys following it! Also insane value provided by Colin!
Great video dude! Informative, engaging, and funny! Love that you included different workout options for people who are working out at home
Awesome channel ! Straight to the point, calm, informative, some great info that you don't find anywhere else. I subbed with the bell and I'll talk about you to my friends :)
Awesome thank you I appreciate the support 🙏
Simple and to the point. Just what most gym goers really need VS what "influencers" try to sell you. Well done!
Those aliens were really busy guys.
Im going to give you guys the best tip ever.
Egyptian raise with a BARBELL. The contraction is phenomenal. My side delts are my best body part because of this.
The weight distribution of a barbell FORCEs your wrist to lock out differently to a dumbbell. This snowballs up your arm forcing the best contraction you will ever feel . Keeps you humble as well as you can’t go as heavy as you’d like.
I’m on 15kg preloaded barbell after doing this for nearly 8 years.
"With the assistance of aliens of course" Wait, what other secrets do you know?
I had a major growth spurt since i started doing sets of 15 - 20 reps, i had to drop the weight at first to hit 15 - 20 but now i'm lifting around 130% of what my 1rm's used to be and it's only been 6 weeks... i feel like i wasted years of potential at the gym when i was doing 6, 8 & 10rep sets, but at least i figured it out eventually 🙂
Wow iwant to know more about this
Man I started doing 10-15 reps (ocasionally 15-20 especially on lateral raises) on most of my lifts at the beginning of January. The mind muscle connection and the pump is way better than doing 6-8 reps, plus the gains are def showing.
intriguing thanks
@@JustDave639 thank you
I agree. I just started doing 15 rep sets a few weeks ago for most exercises and the results have been much better than 6-12 reps. I feel way more muscle contraction and have better form by dropping the weight.
For all those who work out for aesthetics, remember that 90% of the battle is:
Good lighting
Having a pump
Empty stomach
Moisturizer and/or oils
Having a genetic predisposition for certain muscles
Don't feel bad if you don't look a certain way, it doesn't mean you look bad 😁
If you never trained you won't look one bit better with those
@@Uzumachii true, but even with little training you can look great under right circumstances
Hi Collin, first off, I am new to your channel. I just got a gym membership because I really want to improve my health, get fit like Bruce Lee haha ;) But honestly I am serious about working out now especially as a skinny 30 year old dude. I used to work out from time to time as well. The arnold press, thank you for saving me that time. I was doing those and found them frustrating. So I will stick to the good ol shoulder presses. Your videos are going to come in handy for me. Thank you and I love how hard you push yourself. Keep at it!
Homie hit us with the ole one word "Lateral raises". I love it
I’ve worked in a soup kitchen my whole life and all I want is to be a big brothy dude with big brothy shoulders
LATERALRAISES-one word lol
Front delts 1. Stand over head barbell press 0:58 , seated dumb bell press 1:06 , pike push ups 0:59, or front raises
Side delts 2. Cable Lateral raises, dumbbell raises, or upright row
Rear delts 3. Double arm reverse cable flys 5:41, face pull 5:44, rear delt rows 5:53, or bent over rows 5:57
I really liked this video! You have a good pace explaining everything. You seem like an older brother or a good friend
hey colin, i just want you to know that i see noticeable gains on my shoulders thanks to this video. I appreciate the knowledge you have given me. Thank you.
Ayye let’s go!! Im glad the vid helped but that’s all you, good work! Keep growing those boulders.

"One word: lateral rases"
what works for me. Start with SEATED lateral raises with db, slightly inclined (fowards), then proceed to a SEATED db row for posteriors (do it like like invertion of a chest press, raising the db up, not to your waist as you'd do for your standard back rows) then proceed to regular SEATED db presses. Always start with laterals then proceed to the other two

Great instruction. Simple. Understandable. Effective. Appreciate it
Dope video I'm basing my workout on this man very well articulated and helpful.
🤣such a hilarious guy, gives proper gym knowledge while throwing in jokes, love it man
Thanks for this great program for shoulders. I do most of these but you really helped explain how it ties together.
p.s. That earring is distracting af and detracts from your great symmetry dude. But you do you.
Just found this channel. So far, it's one of the only videos I've been able to follow from start to finish. Simple and the low-key humor is an added bonus.
"Never let your shoulders know your next move" 🤣🤣🤣
Such a chill, no-bro, USEFUL video. Stick with this vibe; it sets you apart.
Super appreciate you showing the backpack and sheet knot methods - too poor for gym or weights, so it’s great to see body weight options with stuff around the house as well.
