I agree bro, I was on Alex's program and didn't see much growth. Then my friend built this app called SWOL... game changer. Put 5lbs of clean muscle in 6 weeks.

That's great bro. Question: have you ever got a body scan done for your body? Just wondering if you know about your shoulder insertions, bellies and etc
I just watched your full workout video with Dr.Mike so having these videos to see exactly what you mean by "45 degree lat raise" helps a lot. Please make a video for each day of your workout. Thanks!
it means you shouldn't go all the way down on a lateral raise because on the first 45 degrees he believes the lateral head is resting where he thinks it should be working so he starts the lateral raise higher than normal

At 10:45 a heartly agree its all about growth and hypertrophy. Lowering the weight and having full range of motion is the best way to build muscle for this shoulder exercise. Well done Will!
I think this just may be the most informative shoulder training video on RUclips. Thanks Will! I’ll definitely give all these tips a try Also that last video with Phil Heath changed my shoulder game
Nah tbh they were always quite insane. Most people just think he’s avg or below bc they’re only taking his physique atm into account. And rn he’s basically at bear mode (14-15%+ body fat prolly). If u don’t believe me, look at his vid with Greg O’gallagher the one where they’re both posing on the thumbnail. And skip to the most replayed part where they’re training together. At that point in time, Will was shredded and looked pretty insane. That’s when his fake natty accusations were at their peak. But now, unlike most fitness influences who are shredded for the most part on YT, Will has chosen to be at a more moderate body fat percentage (leading to more avg but good looking physique). Lmk what you think… Do u think I’m wrong, right, somewhere in the middle, or etc?
@@it991I think you are on point, bro. I can call him a gym bro without a doubt. But, Phil Heath just mentioned that his delts are his weak point compared to his big arms [ruclips.net/video/kqJtj30wMFs/видео.html] (which is bigger than average people already in my opinion). And his delts are actually improved from that video noticeably. That's why I commented like that. I am sorry if I made you think I judged his physique in a bad way or something. Nothing against him at all, dude. How about we chill and drink some coffee? What do you think?
Thank you for changing it up a bit and making a more informational focused video. I just started going to the gym after dropping 70 pounds and i cant wait to try this out.
What amazing timing. Was just reviewing my program today and was thinking I’m gonna target my side lats for the next 12 weeks. I need that wide rounded rook in my shoulders. Been long enough!
Dicaprio method stop at 25 Side and rear delt = boulder shoulders 1. Cable face pull above the head Control negative train often - 25 reps 2. Cable rear delt fly - 25 reps 3. Lateral raise - 45 deg out and over Hit failure and go into upright rows Control down- don't do bottom to 45 out - junk rest zone 4. Upright Rows? Raise? 5. Cable lateral raise 20-25 reps Intensity technique Mike izrwtel tip - mile rep max sets Set 1 fail between 10 and 20 reps Gotta get same number in set 2 and 6. Overhead press a lot lighter .. good on joints - trains front delts Seated better for bigger delt Helps bigger bench Hold slightly outside shoulder Lean back slightly - create a nice bench Stay withing the Burn - partials till literal failure Focus on tempo and range of motion Outside of dumbell to to outside of shoulder Dumbell press End with front front Dumbell raise - front delt
Will - this video is legit gold. When your stuff is good it's incredible. This is one of your best. Really well done. I remember Renaldo Gairy talking about time under tension and you took this to the next level. 10/10!!!
I'm a huge fan of the channel, so I hope you dont get offended, but just a quick tip for rom on the reverse cable flies. The fibers for your rear delts run more diagonally, and your method is great for targeting more of the inner traps, but less of the targeted muscle fiber.. so to target the muscle fibers for the rear delt more you would want to drag them in a 45 degree angle to the end point which should be at your hips. Jeremy Ethiers channel does a great breakdown with muscle fiber activation detection with pads on, and the best activation came from the 45-degree drag. P.s. Cant wait to see more of your series with the guy youre training!
Hey Will, idk if u’ll see this comment but I just wanted to say a big thank you! I was starting to lose motivation coz my gains have been stagnant (although, big part of it is due to my diet. I’m really not a big eater, have high metabolism and picky when it comes to food). I tried this exact routine twice this week and I actually saw a big difference. I’m now motivated again. PLEASE do a video for other muscle groups as well, especially back and arms 🙏🏼 Funny and actual tips that work! Subscribed!
Fantastic inspiration. I've been working around some shoulder impingement syndrome symptoms so I'll try some of these exercises with extra awareness, but I think they should help if I don't experience any flare up. Would love to see more videos like this with variations for situations like impingement or, epicondalgia, thoracic outlet syndrome, etc.. I am a firm believer in overcoming these issues through workouts and PT. I have overcome disc herniation and syringomyelia just by listening carefully to my body and sticking to an exercise regime even if it's light some days. You're technique is pretty fucking awesome, and thank you for such clear explanations and staying on point while keeping it fun.
My advice is to be extra conscious of the position of your shoulder blades, when doing many of these exercises. They should be back and down, with lats tight and chest out. Also, make sure you follow the ange of the GH joint, especially with overhead presses and lateral raises. You want your elbows slightly in, at about 30 to 35 degrees. This is because the cup part of the shoulder joint points forward at about that angle, so going too far back crowds the joint.
This is so great. Going through some stuff and the gym is my happy place. Been stuck in a rut of doing the same stuff. Appreciate all the exercises and tips very much.
This bloke has naturally small shoulders (genetics) - and has worked hard to build width and size. He has also been willing to collaborate with others (Dr Mike and Jeff Nippard) no doubt building a strategic presence and gaining more subs (followers). I do appreciate this bloke being humble and willing to learn from others. subbed!!
This was great information. I see 90% of people at my gym training shoulders (and most other body parts) wrong. They look exactly the same (no gains) after months of "training". I call their routines the "gravity and momentum method" lol. BTW I love when you do a recipe at the end of the video. It looked yummy.
I mean you have to be doing something wrong to not gain anything .... I gained fairly fast with lack of knowledge then I got a p.t and I've only Injured myself since getting a p.t as someone with apparent knowledge lol
If you pay close attention, the first few movements don’t actually train rear delts all that well and Will’s physque shows! Over developed traps with no rear delt pop! At least the first two side delt exercises were spot on. Try V-grip pullups and similar exercises that involve hyperextension of the upper arms to train rear delts. Rear delt flyes and the like ironically bias more mid and upper traps. Cross cable is a better option for rear delts at leadt, but the elbow angle is a bit too high to target rear delts.
Tried this workout yesterday, man did I feel it and I'm still feeling it. And the pump!! I'll be subing this in for the next few months to see how I progress, keep doing what you are doing 💪🏻
@@domg0714 noticeable difference on rear and side delts aesthetically. Haven't really seen any strength improvement but seem to have more stability when dumbbell overhead pressing too.
This si the most efficient shoulder workout. I tried it the day after the video came out and manipulating rear delts early on the workout is a game changer. Its balanced and really target the weaker part of most shoulders
I have always done face pulls (thanks building the monolith) and Lu raises in conjunction with decent shoulder work, but you mentioned doing DB overhead press and lateral raises after every workout in a video ~ 6 months so I added it in. Game changer. Feel like my shoulders looked a lot better and bigger in that time. Thanks.
Cable lateral raises have been a game changer for me - specifically at hip height and stretch the dealt across or behind the body. This new wave of stretch mediated hypertrophy is amazing.
Workout routine based on video Rear Delts - Face pulls - 2 finger - Cable Rear Delt Lateral Raises (Failure reps) Superset - lateral raises (without resting at the bottom) -up right rows - Cable lateral raises (wide spread + straight arms) Seated Lateral raises - free weight (Mile rep set) Overhead press Seated lateral raises - machine (partial reps) Seated overhead press Front lateral raises - front delt Gym workout terminology is not on my side. Also i assume all of them is 3 sets of 20 reps, if im wrong let me know. If not have at it gym lads, go get those gains.

Top notch videography, top notch content and advice, no bullshit, science-based, and entertaining as fuck. Glad to have been following Will and Dr.Mike from the beginning \m/ we're all gonna make it
I did seated bar over head shoulder press. And what’s happening 1:10 minutes in. I did this laying down. No bs. I grew 🤙 with his advice & diet and mind set. Throw in a couple lifts you enjoy. Listen to this man. Tweak lifts for comfort if it gives pain. Will you changed my life.

Well three years ago he was 175 10ishbf, one year later he was 202 13%bf (that was already after years of growth too, so newb gains already gained) now who knows hes definitely grown
start with side delts people. If you are doing lat pulldowns and pull ups properly your rear delts should be good. If not then they still take second to side delts. Also when doing the cable variation of the reverse pec deck do NOT squeeze your shoulder blades as that shifts the focus towards the upper back. The traps are used to squeeze the shoulder blades
@@vdigion530so I started with my shoulder only being 37.5 inches now my should are 42.5 inches I added this to my original workout for shoulders and I suggest it it’s actually a good workout as my shoulders not only got wider but stronger and I can lateral raise 40s and when I started I could only do 20 so yeah I suggest this workout and also gained 5 inches from not shoulder this is a really nice workout every time I do it my shoulders are burning love it it may work better for u because I have bad genetics but may be a different progress for u ❤️💪
People have accused me and I'm like half Will's size Some small people accuse anyone who is bigger than them because they've never seen results, and that's how rumors are started
@@BobCarrot-z1f Lol it's like people either think everyone is on gear, or they believe that everyone is truthful about their natty status. I remember when I went from a 130 pound cross country runner at 5'10 in high school to a respectable 6'0 175 intermediate lifter in college... my older sister asked me if I was on steroids. I guess they just don't understand.
Olympic Weightlifter here. "Want a big bench? Do overhead press" is facts. My workouts are basically legs, pulls and overheads 5x per week. I started benching for funsies, and just hit a 235 2RM outta nowhere. Last time I benched (2022) my max was 205 1RM. Pretty wild how much overheads transfer to horizontal pressing. Now I'm benching once a week with a set that looks like this: Work up to a heavy single, then 5x3x75-80% of that single (my coach doesnt like me benching because it just adds fatigue that I don't need, but... I want to be strong in multiple planes). :^)
Yo Will, I stumbled across your channel last week as I’ve been craving information to better myself for training and martial arts. I know that I, and your millions of followers can agree, that you are truly an inspiration. As someone who has struggled to keep a solid workout routine and has never really paid attention to my caloric intake or nutrients, thanks for providing content that is not only educational, but humorous and engaging. Keep on keeping on man. Thanks!
It’s crazy how easily you can rest the bar on your chest as big as you are. I’m doing 30lbs in both sides and almost have to force it to rest on my upper chest like that
For those of you scared of or unfamiliar with fish sauce, it is an absolute flavor cheat code. It's packed with salty umami flavor. I wouldn't recommend smelling or consuming it on it's own though.
I was contemplating going to the gym today (it's chest, tricep and shoulders day). But this video made me excited to implement your new tips!! thank you
Horizontal abduction trains the mid traps, not so much rear delts. Big rear delts come from hyperextension of the arm behind the body. Think chest to bar V grip pullups
Gotta add one point. I think his volume on lateral raise variations can work, if you’re on a bro split, but it’s just too many sets of basically the same motion for your average push pull legs split. You’ll end up over tired and take forever, with just a lot of junk volume. Better to pick and choose between these and split them across two days, so you spread the stimulus apart. I think Jeff Nippard and Dr. Isratel would agree.
Rope facepulls were the only exercise i really enjoyed for my rear delts glad you included them a lot of people dont know about them or do them i think they are underated and one of the best rear delt growers you get a good mind muscle conecton aswell
Seeing you struggle with those 15-30 pound weights really eased my mind, I thought I was just incredibly weak on my shoulders when I struggled to do more than 20 reps. I guess the leverage can make things a lot more challenging.
Great video man, can you put your entire shoulder workout in the description or something? Looks like you did a lot of work outs and some you didn’t mention the sets and reps. My shoulders are LACKING but this new shoulder routine looks like it’s exactly what I’m looking for, THANKS!!
Nah tbh he already had a pretty insane physique for a natty. Most people just think he’s avg or below bc they’re only taking his physique atm into account.

Perfect timing. Did shoulders today. Did the exact rutine. My shoulders are my best bodypart... This was freaking brutal and so different from what I usually do. It was not possible to train arms after this rutine!
Been a trainer for 15 years...the fact u started with rear delts gave me joy. Its like doing calves at the start of leg work out!
so thats how i get bigger calves? calf raises before squats?
pretty bad advice tbh

2) Lateral raise till you can’t no more
3) Got to failure & often
4) Don’t start with the press every workout

6) Tempo and range of motion
7) Train the front delt

I’m back on the grind after a few rough years so I’ve been catching up on the channel and Will, youre looking absolutely massive compared to some of the older videos. Keep pushing big guy 💪🏼
P.S. thanks for being an inspiration for a lot of us, you’ve helped me so much 🙏🏼

At 10:45 a heartly agree its all about growth and hypertrophy. Lowering the weight and having full range of motion is the best way to build muscle for this shoulder exercise. Well done Will!
I think this just may be the most informative shoulder training video on RUclips. Thanks Will! I’ll definitely give all these tips a try
Also that last video with Phil Heath changed my shoulder game
He is so intellectually helpful isn't he. And I love your Sense of Happy Humor 😊 ❤😂LOVE U❤
You can really tell how much you've focused on growing your delts in the last year or so. They have developed so much
When Will called rear delts the Kevin Jonas of the group, I almost spit out my coffee 😂
0:40 if you can’t find it lol
Bro. This is your best video yet! I love how swiftly you incorporate the comedy while keeping the pacing quick and being super informative.
It is great to have a channel like yours where you entertain and also teach how to train properly. And you do what you preach. Thank you. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
12:20 Tell ‘em Will. Growth mindset is key!
Your delts actually improved a lot from the past year, Will. What a hard work, bro!
Nah tbh they were always quite insane. Most people just think he’s avg or below bc they’re only taking his physique atm into account. And rn he’s basically at bear mode (14-15%+ body fat prolly). If u don’t believe me, look at his vid with Greg O’gallagher the one where they’re both posing on the thumbnail. And skip to the most replayed part where they’re training together. At that point in time, Will was shredded and looked pretty insane. That’s when his fake natty accusations were at their peak.
But now, unlike most fitness influences who are shredded for the most part on YT, Will has chosen to be at a more moderate body fat percentage (leading to more avg but good looking physique).
Lmk what you think…
Do u think I’m wrong, right, somewhere in the middle, or etc?
@@it991I think you are on point, bro. I can call him a gym bro without a doubt. But, Phil Heath just mentioned that his delts are his weak point compared to his big arms [ruclips.net/video/kqJtj30wMFs/видео.html] (which is bigger than average people already in my opinion). And his delts are actually improved from that video noticeably. That's why I commented like that. I am sorry if I made you think I judged his physique in a bad way or something. Nothing against him at all, dude.
How about we chill and drink some coffee? What do you think?
@@pongsakornonnim1845 Lol where you at? Also, did you watch the video of him and Greg Ogallagher? The one I mentioned…?
Thank you for changing it up a bit and making a more informational focused video. I just started going to the gym after dropping 70 pounds and i cant wait to try this out.
What amazing timing. Was just reviewing my program today and was thinking I’m gonna target my side lats for the next 12 weeks. I need that wide rounded rook in my shoulders. Been long enough!
Hey bro, what about results
I've been trying to get bigger shoulders! Going to save my heavy week and work on fixing some of my shoulder workouts! Thanks for the tip, Will!
I really like how you don't overly complicate the explanation and the examples, really like it, thank you
Dicaprio method stop at 25
Side and rear delt = boulder shoulders
1. Cable face pull above the head
Control negative train often - 25 reps
2. Cable rear delt fly - 25 reps
3. Lateral raise -
45 deg out and over
Hit failure and go into upright rows
Control down- don't do bottom to 45 out - junk rest zone
4. Upright Rows? Raise?
5. Cable lateral raise 20-25 reps
Intensity technique
Mike izrwtel tip - mile rep max sets
Set 1 fail between 10 and 20 reps
Gotta get same number in set 2 and
6. Overhead press a lot lighter .. good on joints - trains front delts
Seated better for bigger delt
Helps bigger bench
Hold slightly outside shoulder
Lean back slightly - create a nice bench
Stay withing the Burn - partials till literal failure
Focus on tempo and range of motion
Outside of dumbell to to outside of shoulder
Dumbell press
End with front front Dumbell raise - front delt
Hey Will, just wanted to say thank u for making my day much better ❤
Will - this video is legit gold. When your stuff is good it's incredible. This is one of your best. Really well done. I remember Renaldo Gairy talking about time under tension and you took this to the next level. 10/10!!!
I'm a huge fan of the channel, so I hope you dont get offended, but just a quick tip for rom on the reverse cable flies.
The fibers for your rear delts run more diagonally, and your method is great for targeting more of the inner traps, but less of the targeted muscle fiber..
so to target the muscle fibers for the rear delt more you would want to drag them in a 45 degree angle to the end point which should be at your hips. Jeremy Ethiers channel does a great breakdown with muscle fiber activation detection with pads on, and the best activation came from the 45-degree drag.
P.s. Cant wait to see more of your series with the guy youre training!
I agree on the moment arm angle. The rear delts are better aligned
Hey Will, idk if u’ll see this comment but I just wanted to say a big thank you! I was starting to lose motivation coz my gains have been stagnant (although, big part of it is due to my diet. I’m really not a big eater, have high metabolism and picky when it comes to food). I tried this exact routine twice this week and I actually saw a big difference. I’m now motivated again. PLEASE do a video for other muscle groups as well, especially back and arms 🙏🏼
Funny and actual tips that work! Subscribed!
Fantastic inspiration. I've been working around some shoulder impingement syndrome symptoms so I'll try some of these exercises with extra awareness, but I think they should help if I don't experience any flare up. Would love to see more videos like this with variations for situations like impingement or, epicondalgia, thoracic outlet syndrome, etc.. I am a firm believer in overcoming these issues through workouts and PT. I have overcome disc herniation and syringomyelia just by listening carefully to my body and sticking to an exercise regime even if it's light some days. You're technique is pretty fucking awesome, and thank you for such clear explanations and staying on point while keeping it fun.
My advice is to be extra conscious of the position of your shoulder blades, when doing many of these exercises. They should be back and down, with lats tight and chest out. Also, make sure you follow the ange of the GH joint, especially with overhead presses and lateral raises. You want your elbows slightly in, at about 30 to 35 degrees. This is because the cup part of the shoulder joint points forward at about that angle, so going too far back crowds the joint.
This is so great. Going through some stuff and the gym is my happy place. Been stuck in a rut of doing the same stuff. Appreciate all the exercises and tips very much.
we also need the secrets to your wittyness, i'd 100% watch how you got that witty man💯
This bloke has naturally small shoulders (genetics) - and has worked hard to build width and size. He has also been willing to collaborate with others (Dr Mike and Jeff Nippard) no doubt building a strategic presence and gaining more subs (followers). I do appreciate this bloke being humble and willing to learn from others. subbed!!
Training plus food prep. Back to basic , my favorite type of videos.
I really appreciated seeing what muscles you were working on! Thanks for all your videos!!!!!Can't wait to see you hit 3M followers!
This was great information. I see 90% of people at my gym training shoulders (and most other body parts) wrong. They look exactly the same (no gains) after months of "training". I call their routines the "gravity and momentum method" lol. BTW I love when you do a recipe at the end of the video. It looked yummy.
I mean you have to be doing something wrong to not gain anything .... I gained fairly fast with lack of knowledge then I got a p.t and I've only Injured myself since getting a p.t as someone with apparent knowledge lol
If you pay close attention, the first few movements don’t actually train rear delts all that well and Will’s physque shows! Over developed traps with no rear delt pop! At least the first two side delt exercises were spot on. Try V-grip pullups and similar exercises that involve hyperextension of the upper arms to train rear delts. Rear delt flyes and the like ironically bias more mid and upper traps. Cross cable is a better option for rear delts at leadt, but the elbow angle is a bit too high to target rear delts.
Jeff cavalier crying with the face pulls
Tried this workout yesterday, man did I feel it and I'm still feeling it. And the pump!! I'll be subing this in for the next few months to see how I progress, keep doing what you are doing 💪🏻
How has it worked?
@@domg0714 noticeable difference on rear and side delts aesthetically. Haven't really seen any strength improvement but seem to have more stability when dumbbell overhead pressing too.
Hows it going now man?
And whats your split like?
This si the most efficient shoulder workout. I tried it the day after the video came out and manipulating rear delts early on the workout is a game changer. Its balanced and really target the weaker part of most shoulders
Will Tennyson never fails to fill me up with his creamy content
I have always done face pulls (thanks building the monolith) and Lu raises in conjunction with decent shoulder work, but you mentioned doing DB overhead press and lateral raises after every workout in a video ~ 6 months so I added it in. Game changer. Feel like my shoulders looked a lot better and bigger in that time. Thanks.
Cable lateral raises have been a game changer for me - specifically at hip height and stretch the dealt across or behind the body. This new wave of stretch mediated hypertrophy is amazing.
Workout routine based on video
Rear Delts
- Face pulls - 2 finger
- Cable Rear Delt
Lateral Raises (Failure reps)
Superset
- lateral raises (without resting at the bottom)
-up right rows
- Cable lateral raises (wide spread + straight arms)
Seated Lateral raises - free weight (Mile rep set)
Overhead press
Seated lateral raises - machine (partial reps)
Seated overhead press
Front lateral raises - front delt
Gym workout terminology is not on my side. Also i assume all of them is 3 sets of 20 reps, if im wrong let me know.
If not have at it gym lads, go get those gains.
thanks bro
Always excited for your videos! Definitely appreciate insight on shoulders.
On a side note, the Hole-Somes rule! 💪
Please do this with other muscle groups too
Will seems to have finally reached fitness youtuber God tier, this is some of the best content on RUclips. Top notch videography, top notch content and advice, no bullshit, science-based, and entertaining as fuck. Glad to have been following Will and Dr.Mike from the beginning \m/ we're all gonna make it
Billiam's videos are the best in RUclips fitness. I always click for the lifting and diet info but stay for the throat jokes.
I did seated bar over head shoulder press. And what’s happening 1:10 minutes in. I did this laying down. No bs. I grew 🤙 with his advice & diet and mind set. Throw in a couple lifts you enjoy. Listen to this man. Tweak lifts for comfort if it gives pain. Will you changed my life.
Will, my sister often talks about how I watch you a lot you were one of my favorite RUclipsrs ever!

OMG!!! Great workout. I felt the blood pumping to my shoulders. I felt the work. And I feel sore. A great feeling. Thanks.
Best shoulder workout I’ve done in 10 years
Will finally acknowledging he has HUGE shoulders is SOO heart-warming
You can have the most brutal shoulder workout in the world but unless you eat enough protein they will stay the same.
The whole western nonsense about protein. Westoids destroying their bodies inside 😂
And getting 7-8 hrs of sleep is crucial I’ve learned the hard way
Bro just described how every muscle grows
I can't believe Will Tennyson made a video about getting wide shoulders...🤣He's grown a lot
His shoulders still aren’t wide from a front view lmao, but they look very 3D and full looking from the side
He aint natural no mo
He has grown suspiciously much lately... @@dschutz2211
@@dschutz2211what how do you know?
Well three years ago he was 175 10ishbf, one year later he was 202 13%bf (that was already after years of growth too, so newb gains already gained) now who knows hes definitely grown
start with side delts people. If you are doing lat pulldowns and pull ups properly your rear delts should be good. If not then they still take second to side delts.
Also when doing the cable variation of the reverse pec deck do NOT squeeze your shoulder blades as that shifts the focus towards the upper back. The traps are used to squeeze the shoulder blades
Just wanted to say I first stumbled upon your channel when I was beginner in 2020 and now I still watch you 4 years later
1:07 😭😭😭
I’m gonna give this a 2week trial I’ll come back in 2 weeks and tell you if it worked or not (like my comment so I can come back to this video)
Dude, it's been five months. How's it going ?
@@vdigion530so I started with my shoulder only being 37.5 inches now my should are 42.5 inches I added this to my original workout for shoulders and I suggest it it’s actually a good workout as my shoulders not only got wider but stronger and I can lateral raise 40s and when I started I could only do 20 so yeah I suggest this workout and also gained 5 inches from not shoulder this is a really nice workout every time I do it my shoulders are burning love it it may work better for u because I have bad genetics but may be a different progress for u ❤️💪
Well ive been humbled, definitely changing my shoulder workout based on this! Thanks will 💪

Wait, people accuse Will of being a fake natty? Lol
People have accused me and I'm like half Will's size
Some small people accuse anyone who is bigger than them because they've never seen results, and that's how rumors are started
@@BobCarrot-z1f Lol it's like people either think everyone is on gear, or they believe that everyone is truthful about their natty status.
I remember when I went from a 130 pound cross country runner at 5'10 in high school to a respectable 6'0 175 intermediate lifter in college... my older sister asked me if I was on steroids. I guess they just don't understand.
Olympic Weightlifter here. "Want a big bench? Do overhead press" is facts. My workouts are basically legs, pulls and overheads 5x per week. I started benching for funsies, and just hit a 235 2RM outta nowhere. Last time I benched (2022) my max was 205 1RM. Pretty wild how much overheads transfer to horizontal pressing. Now I'm benching once a week with a set that looks like this: Work up to a heavy single, then 5x3x75-80% of that single (my coach doesnt like me benching because it just adds fatigue that I don't need, but... I want to be strong in multiple planes). :^)
Tip for front raises: do em on an incline bench. You can get more stretch, and will have more of a moment arm at the same angle when you raise
For every likes this comment get, I'll do a push up! I'll record it and upload 😉
No, ya won’t lol
Didn’t do shit huh

Started following your shoulder tips almost a year ago and there's already a massive difference. Thank you Will!
Yo Will, I stumbled across your channel last week as I’ve been craving information to better myself for training and martial arts.
I know that I, and your millions of followers can agree, that you are truly an inspiration.
As someone who has struggled to keep a solid workout routine and has never really paid attention to my caloric intake or nutrients, thanks for providing content that is not only educational, but humorous and engaging.
Keep on keeping on man. Thanks!
Loved the subtle nod to Dom Mazetti on tip 6 with the muffled gun shots! Top notch comedy as always
It’s crazy how easily you can rest the bar on your chest as big as you are. I’m doing 30lbs in both sides and almost have to force it to rest on my upper chest like that
Wide shoulders like calfs are GENETIC. You either have them or you dont.
Proud to say im a subscriber since 2020
For those of you scared of or unfamiliar with fish sauce, it is an absolute flavor cheat code. It's packed with salty umami flavor. I wouldn't recommend smelling or consuming it on it's own though.
I was contemplating going to the gym today (it's chest, tricep and shoulders day). But this video made me excited to implement your new tips!! thank you
Horizontal abduction trains the mid traps, not so much rear delts. Big rear delts come from hyperextension of the arm behind the body. Think chest to bar V grip pullups
Gotta add one point. I think his volume on lateral raise variations can work, if you’re on a bro split, but it’s just too many sets of basically the same motion for your average push pull legs split. You’ll end up over tired and take forever, with just a lot of junk volume. Better to pick and choose between these and split them across two days, so you spread the stimulus apart. I think Jeff Nippard and Dr. Isratel would agree.
Rope facepulls were the only exercise i really enjoyed for my rear delts glad you included them a lot of people dont know about them or do them i think they are underated and one of the best rear delt growers you get a good mind muscle conecton aswell
Seeing you struggle with those 15-30 pound weights really eased my mind, I thought I was just incredibly weak on my shoulders when I struggled to do more than 20 reps. I guess the leverage can make things a lot more challenging.
All these great exercises and techniques from the best in the business Phil health, Mike Isreteal, Jeff nippard all in one video
Bravo 👏 🔥🔥🔥
Great video man, can you put your entire shoulder workout in the description or something? Looks like you did a lot of work outs and some you didn’t mention the sets and reps. My shoulders are LACKING but this new shoulder routine looks like it’s exactly what I’m looking for, THANKS!!
Hell yah Will! You should do a video like this for each of the body parts. Love the vids man
looks amazing. by only watching it i could already feel my shoulders burnin haha
let me try this on Thursday.
Dude i swear ever since Jamal called will small he has become one of the biggest natties out there.
Nah tbh he already had a pretty insane physique for a natty. Most people just think he’s avg or below bc they’re only taking his physique atm into account.

I have tried this, never in my 10 years of gym, felt so much pain in my shoulders, IT WORKS!
Just when I needed a shoulder routine, Will's got me covered
Face pull is amazing. Jeff Nippard has an exercise where you start from high, then mid, then low positions
Perfect timing. Did shoulders today. Did the exact rutine. My shoulders are my best bodypart... This was freaking brutal and so different from what I usually do. It was not possible to train arms after this rutine!
