You can also do this sitting down with a resistance band. For example right shoulder put the band under left foot. Lean forward in seating position and left elbow on left knee and raise right arm. I’m glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work it’s appreciated.
It is near impossible to find this level of thoroughness, detail, perfection and consistency in a fitness channel. Your videos are well structured, easy to understand and extremely engaging. The effort you put into your work really shows, and we (your subscribers) sincerely appreciate it! Keep up the INCREDIBLE work, Eugene!
Just found this video tonight, and subscribed instantly. What a down to earth, easily understandable, and overall pleasant explanation to healthier shoulders without any obnoxious video editing. Plain, simple, and beautiful. Thanks man and looking forward to more videos!!! (god I need gyms to reopen again!)
Exercise 1 is awesome for me as it removed all the cheats when I came close to failure. No more calves, quads, back etc helping. Drooped from 25 reps at 7kg to 17 reps but I really felt the quality of the reps. Thanks again!
@@smartheli I learned for side delt exercises such as lateral raises, you want to go with lower weights and higher reps to minimize injury risk as the shoulder is a complex joint. I do the normal 6-12 rep range for other exercises such as bench press, squats etc.
@@TronciM yeah it depends on the person, I have no previous shoulder injuries but because of the way I sleep, my left shoulder clicks and can get inflamed easily, even if I spent 10 mins warming them up.
@smartheli the number of sets and revs help you to find a rythm and routine to train with but are not mandatory to get stronger or bigger. The important factor is to fatigue the muscle as much as possible without hurting yourself. If you do a static exercise for 5-10mins, 3x12 or 6x20 all can stimulate musclegrowth. Mixing things up is actually good as the body will specialise for 3x12 and only build as much muscle as needed for that volume. Training lighter also helps the joints that need years to adapt instead of muscles who only need months. But training lighter is harder for the brain as it will burn more and you will need to do a view reps with burning muscles until you reach the same volume with heavier 3x12 sets. For team sports i did a view 6x50 sets as i needed more strength endurance and speed. It was one of the biggest jumps in pure strength i ever had even tho i lost a tiny bit of muscle volume.
Amazing content Eugene. You are hands down one of the best sources for hypertrophy focused training right now. I’ve been lifting for 18 years and started doing my raises this way about 7 years ago. My shoulders exploded in size over the following year or so. This is 11 years in, mind you. Glad to see you putting it out there. Feels like vindication...
Well, I have to say 63 years old. I only train with resistance bands as I’m training from home as I don’t live anywhere near Jim. Seen you on RUclips a couple of times I must say recently I have been listening to your programs and I am very impressed. I have just signed up and I think I have found someone who actually talk since and not just coming out with shite to get a free more followers, not that you need more followers just seeing you one on last that will be my next viewing. Keep up the great work. I’ll be watching you closely.❤
Gday Eugene, Love your videos mate, I’m 59 and been training on and off most of my adult life and learning from a young bloke like you is refreshing. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Col
Eugene, great videos. I have two questions for you. 1) What exercises do you recommend to build back shoulders after rotator cuff surgery to get a good balance between strength and size? 2) I know this video is regarding the shoulders. Can you create a video with your favorite neck and trapezius muscles?
Thank you so much!! My traps always take over in side laterals...really excited to try this out!! Thank you so much. Your content has been a game changer to my training...and the app is awesome!
2 favorite Deltoid exercises ''currently'' (as with all exercises, as one evolves your training preferences may change / modify) - front deltoid plate raises, and Arnold Dumbell presses ...
Great to come across your channel. I've got a weak right shoulder after 8 dislocations and a laterjet procedure 8 years ago. Always had a problem developing my rotator cuff and deltoids. Great explanation, thank you
I did a proper shoulder workout, so i thought. This will defiantly help me second guess my training regiment and thinking about the most natural way off movement. Which is especially important for such a vulnerable part of the human body! This will help me for sure in rehabilitating my shoulders from my last injury. Thanks a lot Eugene
I have been really enjoying doing T raises in the kitchen. I have struggled so much with shoulders when I'm trying to workout I gave up on them. But then I found some 1kg soft weights in the kitchen and now while I'm cooking dinner I'll do T raises with my pinkies up. From 20 reps I really feel it. These are great tips. I'll get on the bench soon.
OHP with Dumbbell and Front Raises. I've never found comfort in the side raises because I was so fixated on all the "rules" with form and trying to position my arms like you say...pouring a jug of milk. Definitely trying out the Y raise at the gym! Thanks again for a other great video!
Many say that upright rows are sure death for your shoulders. Then they proceed to show side raises with the arm internally rotated, that "pouring" movement, which is almost as bad.
@@kbflorida888 yup, had something similar happen to me. Started getting clicking sounds and soreness from the right shoulder after doing that pouring movement. Now I do my lateral raises with upper body bent over at a slight angle and the clicking and shoulder pain went away
I've been doing high-Y for over a year now and they are money. Slight angle changes help you fatigue both the middle and rear delt. I use cables with a SLOW 3-5 second negative, and the burn is unbelievable.
Hai Eugene, Jay here. I was having the worse muscle knots around my neck and scapula area which had robbed me out of my precious sleep for weeks, without understanding where is it did I do wrong with my workouts.. Until I found your video, which I have now played on repeat whilst fixing my knots. I am now in less pain, after so long.. I am now heading to bed, with a lot of relief.. thank you, Eugene. Good man you are. You're the first long haired male I can tolerate looking at xD Thank you, truly. :)
Discovered you yesterday and you're an absolute GOLD-MINE. Timing couldn't be worse though, I so badly want to try everything but my fitness time is reduced to 1h a day due to new COVID measurements. I don't even know how I'll get through my program in half the time, dropped a set here or there, any bodyweight/band is done at home... Mentally it's hard as well so here I am binging this stuff. I know this sounds 'addicted' to the gym, it's just unequalled in how much joy and calm it brings me and habit change is always hard for me since autism. Taking notes and will be coming back once I can start working on these things. To be fair on the ab-vid, I can start doing that on the floor or find a good surface somewhere.
Thats a brilliant suggestion with the y raises. Seems like it puts your shoulder more into an externally rather than internally rotated position. You can also lean forward slightly while doing lateral raises. In my experience, doing this excersise with a supinated or neutral grip is very helpful. I tend to get a much better connection using bands or cables on my delts, so i pretty much stopped using dumbells for this excersise. Also, I tend to use a pretty short range of motion, as gojng too low will release tension from your delts, especially when using dumbbels, and going too high tends to get your traps involved.
Today I added the cable y raise after my overhead press and cheat laterals. Usually I do light lat raises at the end and feel it in my neck and traps. The y raise felt great and I felt it only in my shoulders..thanks for the tips
THIS is everything! I struggle so much with this exercise and I think you just solved my problem. Thanks for the great explanations and your voice is also very soothing to hear!
instantly subscribed, your calm tone and just general body language is on point dude. Allows me to actually listen to what you're saying rather than being shocked by some meatcake shouting at me.
Man I can fall asleep peacefully just listening to the way you explain things and your voice tone. This is coming from a guy that's married to a women hahahaha
I just saw another video he made on shoulders yesterday and I trained shoulders that night. I had my form wrong on the y raise by having my bench too steep. Thank you for the videos!!!
Eugene, I’m sure you get this often, but your verbal articulation and one take long cuts are next level skill. I honestly can’t tell you how nice it is to hear someone speak without having to cut all the takes and pauses.
Favourite two exercises for shoulders? 1. Overhead press (standing, seated or even Z-press on the floor.... Standing atm) 2. High pulls (suprsingly great for side delts if you try to isolate it) LU raises are my main rehab. P. S. To answer the question, love the long explanations and nerd talk man! That's what we're here for 🤓
Really glad you shared the tip about letting the shoulders move freely on the Y-raise. I've often experienced a lot of shoulder pain after about a set or two on the exercise - most likely because I've been trying to keep my shoulders down during the movement. Really enjoy your content and how this channel is developing.
Eugene God Bless you for taking this time to help us. My two favorite exercises for shoulders are military press and what I call front shoulders, just a lift straight out in front of the body, like a reverse clock, counter-clock.
@@coacheugeneteo ahhh, you didn't include the rear delts in this? My shoulder development is actually my best, all with home dumbbell workouts... And the PEC deck once every two weeks when I make it to a gym
Yes, Latissimus dorsi firing when I lift weights to the side. I’m retraining my shoulder after it fatigued from work. My physiotherapist said I needed to pull my shoulders back (just like you said not to do) I only lift one side at a time, and it’s the weak shoulder that does this. The weight is light, as I hold up for 20 seconds (Ive increased this time as strength allowed)
When you do that cable version where your arm starts low, crosses your body, and then goes almost straight up into external rotation, that looks a lot like a move (sometimes used for the rotator cuff) called the sword pull. Wouldn't that hit some rear delt along with the side delt due to the backward (external) movement at the end?
Wow this is so useful!…I usually see people just go at it and hit the weights bang bang bang …but you explain every movement and adjustment and make every exercise simplified. Thank you!!
For me, the main thing I do for shoulders is firstly, work one side at a time, and with my free hand, I put it on my shoulder to feel if I'm shrugging my shoulder towards my neck. I start really light to get the technique right to not do a shrug when lifting. I find also that if I go to heavy, I tend to shrug to get the weight up, which engages my traps and causes a stiff neck. I like bent pushups too. So not regular pushups. To change the angle to my shoulders I bend in the middle like the yoga downward dog, and do pushups so that my arms are at a vertical forty five degrees to my body. I know this is a compound exercise, but I am not fit enough to need to isolate muscles yet. Great video. I've subscribed. Cheers.
This video is good but what makes it even better is the audio. I don't know if other people notice it too. The audio is so clear and crisp. #beautyofacoustics #welldoneifthisisintentional
wow. the last illustration. cables crossed over on an incline bench......I could feel it from all the way over here.. I will definitely try that one. as I just started back into training and lateral raises make my traps burn. thank you so much for the tips on angles !
Haha, I see that 'rotator cuff' exercise ALL the time. I'm trying to find a polite way to help people understand the direction gravity works in without coming across as patronising
How is this sexy beast not at 1Mil subs yet. Look at the thick, lush, silky hair on top of that artwork of face. You can't help yourself but want to let each strand of that luxurious mane glide between your fingers. But in all seriousness, thanks for giving us the why and how we should train for efficiency.
One of the best videos i have seen explaining and showing this. Took many years of training myself to figure it out myself and you made it in to 10 minutes, amazing.
I learned about Y-raises when I ran John Meadows' program, Baby Groot. They're a fantastic exercise! And doing them taught me how to feel my shoulders working, which carried over to my standard lateral raises and made them more effective.
Definitely be trying this. Been doing lateral raises from a partial squat position to get a better angle at the shoulder but I can easily see that using a bench would provide stable leverage.

damn samee!! Never would've thought that I would find someone else who had a laterjet procedure
My favorite shoulder exercises are seated anterior delt press, chest supported lateral raises and barbell rear delt swings behind the back
Just getting into resistance band training, and this looks like it can be applied readily. Cheers
Oh, Main 2 were OHP and Pull aparts.
Yes it's great with bands too!
Just did my shoulders with these two suggestions and did a drop set on the y raise, absolutely brutal in the best possible way!

Uncle Eugene we need to know the two best exercises to grow your hair 😂😂😂
I can't give you all my secrets
Not cutting your hair is a good exercise
Biotin and mane n tail!
@Han Boetes really good tips actually, retaining length is the most important thing for sure
Eugene, I’m sure you get this often, but your verbal articulation and one take long cuts are next level skill. I honestly can’t tell you how nice it is to hear someone speak without having to cut all the takes and pauses.
Eugene we need to start talking about where you get these shirts. Top 2 anatomically optimal t-shirt stores when?
Favourite two exercises for shoulders?
1. Overhead press (standing, seated or even Z-press on the floor.... Standing atm)
2. High pulls (suprsingly great for side delts if you try to isolate it)
LU raises are my main rehab.

Three heads, you cannot only choose two.
Ohp
Lateral raises
Reverse PEC deck
Is a minimum.
Wait for the rear delt video ;-)
@@coacheugeneteo ahhh, you didn't include the rear delts in this?
My shoulder development is actually my best, all with home dumbbell workouts... And the PEC deck once every two weeks when I make it to a gym
Prefer cable rear delt flys
All what you have access to... I usually just to dumbbell flys in a chair bent over... But like the PEC deck for isolating better

wow. the last illustration. cables crossed over on an incline bench......I could feel it from all the way over here.. I will definitely try that one. as I just started back into training and lateral raises make my traps burn. thank you so much for the tips on angles !
1:48 "wtf" 🤣
😂😂
Such a beautiful vocabulary. It's impossible not to listen to what you're saying.
Haha, I see that 'rotator cuff' exercise ALL the time. I'm trying to find a polite way to help people understand the direction gravity works in without coming across as patronising
😂😂
This is fantastic instruction ! Thank you !
Please start every video by saying, "Your soul is mine". 😅
Knowledge, detailed instructions and a soothing British accent, make for a great tutorial. Great job. New follower.
How is this sexy beast not at 1Mil subs yet.
Look at the thick, lush, silky hair on top of that artwork of face. You can't help yourself but want to let each strand of that luxurious mane glide between your fingers.
But in all seriousness, thanks for giving us the why and how we should train for efficiency.
Thank you 😂😅
Great shoulder video and once again easy to understand because you have such a beautiful speaking voice I can tell you’re a very cultured gentleman
I like how when he shows the exercise done wrong he has a BROndana on and looks high AF :D
Eugene thank you for your expertise!

Quality - thank you Eugene - was a pleasure to watch
Thank you! 🙏
One of the best videos i have seen explaining and showing this. Took many years of training myself to figure it out myself and you made it in to 10 minutes, amazing.
Another great video. I'm so happy I found this channel. Well spoken and easy to understand.
Thank you! 🙏
Love your work Uncle Eugene
Thank you ☺️☺️
This guy is a very pleasant individual.. I enjoyed this immensely
I love how knowledgable you are!
Thank you
I learned about Y-raises when I ran John Meadows' program, Baby Groot. They're a fantastic exercise! And doing them taught me how to feel my shoulders working, which carried over to my standard lateral raises and made them more effective.
Definitely be trying this.
Been doing lateral raises from a partial squat position to get a better angle at the shoulder but I can easily see that using a bench would provide stable leverage.
Thank you
