hey mountaindog1 at the end of the video you mentioned that you prefer to do db shoulder presses with your arms slightly forward, is this because of tightness preventing you from pushing vertically or does pushing slightly forward work the shoulder muscles better?
I'm a bitsy 5'2" woman, by no means a bodybuilder, but I really love these videos. You are so down to earth and calming to watch. Thanks for the breath of fresh air :-)
00:43 Dumbbell Bent Over Lateral Raise 01:53 Wide Grip Row 03:38 Seated Side Lateral Raise 06:23 Seated 10-02 o'clock Lateral Raise 07:19 Six Ways Excercise I wonder why I have never seen your videos before.

What rest periods do younuse for this dude? I was surprised that 1 min rest for opening double sets i wasnt able to complete full reps for 15 and 8. Great burn but should i rest more do you think and get full range with full form?
It's a new kind of love seeing these pop up in the recommendation feed. Always grateful for being a small part of the moment...to just witness lighting in a bottle. What an amazing spirit that was sincerely taken too soon. Rest in Peace John
That 6 way closer was brilliant, shoulders finished off on fire! Thank you John for this and so much in your other videos (macro calculater video is a gem!), rest in peace.
His workouts are insane! My shoulders are toast. He did a lot for people with all his knowledge from a place of great humility. I never met you in person but you changed how I train. RIP my friend. Praying for your family.
I'm 52 and just started working out again after 20 years of pause and your workouts are really inspiring me a lot. Especially your delt workouts are killer! Thanks a lot and keep it up!
John, you’re like Captain America... one of the few good guys in the fitness industry... you’re worthy sir... we need to get you a shield and Thor’s Hammer. Great video sir👍🏼💪🏼
I am in late 40's and had nagging shoulder and bicep pain for 2 years...I stuck with this shoulder routine for 2 months and also his other dumbbell workouts for chest and back and arms. I stopped doing over head presses and I am pain free also my mind muscle connection is getting better and better. Thank you John Meadows RIP.
John was a down to earth awesome guy. Great helpful videos. ALL his videos are helpful, informative, great for anyone just getting into bodybuilding or a pro. Truly a legend.
I've found out over the years that the key to big shoulders, at least when it comes to mid delt, that gives you the width shoulder look from the front. You have to let your ego aside and use lighter weight (15-20lbs DBs) and seriously focus on good technique (for lateral raises), guiding the lift with the arm and elbow and not with the hand. I see many guys using way heavier weights, because they associate it with "arm exercise", like you would for bis or tris, so they use 35-45lb DBs, way too heavy...
Nailed it. I've been training for 10 years and I only figured this out two years ago because I thought heavy weight was the only thing that ever mattered.
I'm liking these multi angle exercises. As someone who has a sensitive left shoulder due to supraspinatus, these multi angles feel best on my shoulder because they don't directly load it. And I can also work front/middle, or middle/rear delt.
Im 45 and started noticing my strenght isn't what it used to be the last few years. When I was younger I ran track and lifted everyday but got busy with life and fell out of all that.Finding this guy has really helped my home workouts.
Oh WOW and here I am going, I've researched so many bodybuilders or so-called fitness bodybuilding pros online and this guy would have to be one of the best channel I've ever come across with the NO BS, it is what it is, simple but effective workouts and authentic tips. He seems like an awesome guy also! RIP my brother and thank you so much for your contribution to the fitness world. What a CHAMP!
I owe my whole physique to this man right here! His videos helped me get out of a massive slump! And I will always go back to these videos whenever I need motivation! RIP mountain dog!
Hi John first day back at the gym today here in Chester (Chester boxers and bodybuilding) these dumbbell videos you have put out are tremendous because you can contain yourself in one area and still get a great workout so thanks so much it’s so very much appreciated. Best wishes. Jim Harrison. Chester Cheshire. UK.
I can't wait to try the last ones you did with the purple dumbbells. Thank you so much for all of the valuable information you share. Know that it is much appreciated.

I have always used your dumbbell shoulder exercises, even from previous posts. Have been amazed at the difference they have made for me. Thanks so much for all the gems you gift us John..
The hardest pump I've ever felt from shoulders was doing one of Dina Baileys. I think that's her name. The 10 and 2 position starting out with 50 reps then 40,30,20,10. That pump actually hurt from the blood flow.
I absolutely love this shoulder workout. I've started using and the burn l get last through out the day. Great burn, great feel. Friends have definitely noticed the change in my shoulders.
I am grateful! Thank you stuck at home with a bench and bumbles. You have a special way that teaches me! I see the video once and I can start doing the exercise. I am mentioning that because it is a unique gift. Thank you one more time.
only JM can man up and go beast mode with the purple weights... most guys would scoff at that - JM was a true classic, so smart and taken too early - so many great videos and knowledge he had to pass... RIP...
@@Шизлманизл It is for the real delts yes, it allows you to overload it better. ROM means Range of Motion; from the position you start your rep, to the position where the rep is complete.
I'm not a body builder, but wanted to do something to get at least some definition to my shoulders and started doing those 6 motion shoulder reps ,nothing more. Wow, do they work!! Starting noticing results really fast...great instructional video. Thanks for posting it!
Really appreciate the simple and straightforward videos. Not a fan of obnoxiously loud and flashy intros/outros. Just want to hear what the person has to say.
Had to come back and comment because I tried this yesterday (replaced the 6 ways with overhead press since I didn’t have dumbbells small enough) and my shoulders are definitely sore today! Excited to keep this in my weekly routine. Thanks for your videos! This is so great, especially right now during COVID.
Hell yeah I enjoyed that! Going on the biggest binge with your videos and absolutely loving it! As a coach myself I really appreciate knowing I'm going to be able to train my clients hard safely.
So, I just did this workout about an hour ago. IT WAS AWESOME! I was almost in Tears at the end! Lol I posted a few pics on my Insta and tagged John. I believe this was the best pump that I have ever gotten on a shoulder workout. I’m going to do this for a few weeks and see what happens. I LOVED this!
Again John thank you sooo much for all you do! Every workout and tip that I've put into my regiment from your content has given me GREAT results. From the short on time videos to the road to 21 inch arms. Thx mountain dog and continued success and health 👍🏾....Btw that finisher 🔥
Thanks for a great video John ...I have been using the same purple dumbbells and my shoulders are as big as Kevin Levrone's shoulders :)) PS:in Australia we also have yellow dumbbells you should try on the 6 moves shoulder exercise.....
For rear delts I've been turning my hands into position where I start with my hands in the start of a biceps curl. With my hands facing that way it takes out the traps.

I don't mean to insult you but you dont look very big or wide
For myself heavy half rep laterals really helped

Holy cow just did this with 20s and I'm a big heavy lifter and I'm dying and can feel the burn in every part of my shoulder!

Tried this today John, it was a killer workout, haven't felt a burn that good for shoulders in a while!
Need more of these dumbell excercises in my life. You are by far the best on advice and info anyone could look for!
More to come!

Quality content that is free? Wow, this channel is pure gold. Liked, subbed, and shared. Thanks John!!
I love the bent over DB lateral too!
Yeah I did them yesterday, they feel so good and you can decrease ROM as you fatigue to get a nasty pump
Does that work your lateral delt? I am not sure cause looks like it is more of a rear delt exercise. Also what is a ROM?
