+Tony B stick with the rows bro. Arnold never did face pulls. Also chins hit rear delts, low and high rows hit delts, reverse flies... all of them done with good form hit rear delt far better than face pulls and saves you looking weird in the gym. The BIGGEST mistakes dudes make is using too much weight for such a small muscle group. I rofl when I see guys doing shrugs with 100lbs weights for bigger traps... dudes can't even use those to bench! It's safe to say you use far more muscle doing a bench than shrugs so how can you shrug more than you can bench? Easy answer, you can't!
Buff dudes. I’ve been training for fitness my whole life, but you two have literally taught me more this past few weeks than any instructor in any gym has. You’re entertaining but both smart too. Subscribed!
And Elliot Hulse. If you have never heard of him, look him up rn. Watch his Yo, Elliot! videos from like 2008-2013. He has so much knowledge amazing philosophy it sometimes blows my mind. He is actually the only person who i have found that actually knows what muscular imbalance is caused by.
Only 3 exercises are needed for shoulders, OHP, Facepulls and finally cable lateral raise. OHP will work all 3 heads, while Facepulls will work lateral, posterior and finally cable lateral raise will focus on the lateral head. Cables over dumbbells because first of all you can't use momentum and secondly cables provide resistance throughout the ROM, as in gravity is not a factor compared to dumbbells.
True, but you can end up with a plateau quite quickly if you only do those exercises. Besides, everyone has different skeletal structure and so on, meaning that the movements you mentioned are not ideal for everyone :)
Martin Ora if you plateau with the basics such as OHP and face pulls, there is then something wrong with your workout program, these are the basic staples as for strength, size, rehabilitation and keeping a healthy posture.
What I meant is that if you always do the same exact movements, you're going to end up with a plateau. You need a little bit of variety even though those are some of the best exercises for shoulders :)
Martin Ora Uhm.. no you're not. It is idiotic to suggest that you need to "switch exercises" to avoid plateaus. Avoiding plateaus is just a matter of your programming. You do not "need" any variety. Those 3 would be all that's needed for any goal you have. You can add some variety if you want though
Awesome tips. I see gym members making those mistakes all the time. I'm glad I did my research on the dos and donts of lifting. Yet I'm always looking for ways to improve. I truly appreciate your videos. You guys are funny yet informative.
I have a banged up shoulder. Not from any of those mistakes but the video is a great reminder about form and inspires me towards better shoulder days. Thanks.
hey buff dudes!!!! what about traps? i love your videos guys. i have been following for a few years now honestly since the beginning and i cant get enough. when ever i am lost in the gym i always just get on your channel for inspiration. keep it up dudes.
wow man thanks for the tips, i did not realize how much i was working the anterior muslces cuz i always do dips, bench and overhead press but not too much of the lateral raises and face pulls . thx for saving my posture.
I've been doing boxing training for a few weeks now and shoulders are a big thing in that. My coach keeps my form correct but this is all great advice. Thanks dudes :)
Thank you! Love your channel. Getting into lifting heavy and it's awesome. Your channel has been a great resource for me. I will never go back to hours of cardio now that I know that lifting makes me feel like a ninja.
Buff dudes! Your videos are great! I started watching them back in February when I decided to change my lifestyle and set a goal to lose 100 pounds. I'm now heading towards 70 pounds lost and I wanted to say thanks for all the great tips! Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for the video! I've been having some sharp pain in the front of my shoulder lately, and I had to take it easy on the weights, like bench press. This could help look into what I did wrong.
You guys are awesome. I have been watching your channel for a while now and you always give clear advice and never bullshit. Also not once have you guys ever said "don't forget to hit like/subscribe". Keep up the awesome work!
Spot on! Think you pointed out my most common mistake of not including the posterior deltoids as much so thanks for the tips and I'll be sure to include them in my next shoulder workout. Tar very muchly dudes
Nice video buff dudes. As a DPT and strength trainer I always try to emphasize Rotator cuff and joint approximation based movements for a warm up. Motion is lotion and firing up the rotators/stabilizers of the shoulder can help to increase blood flow to the area and increase the mind muscle connection via proprioception stimulation. The timer starts when the gym door opens so knowing how to warm up correctly for size is important and should never be over looked. Keep up the great work! Yarr!
guys congrats!! great videos!! I'm new at the gym, 2 months already and yours videos help me a lot.We enjoy watching it !!thanks a lot and keep going !!!
Buff Dudes Ya'll are spot on. my anterior part of my shoulder has been hurting for about a week or so and it is affection almost every heavy, upper body exercise. any suggestions for helping the repair of the shoulder?
Thanks for the tips on shoulders! I was still wondering, though, if you would recommend dedicating an entire workout to shoulders, or just adding them onto your existing workouts? Thanks again, keep the great videos coming. You guys are hilarious!
Hi gents! I only just stumbled across your page so I haven't watched all of your videos yet but could you please build on this shoulder video by talking about the rotator cuffs, their importance, and injuries associated with them? Thank you!
Thanks Buff Dudes! It's a great series, for me there's always at least 1 mistake I could correct or even if there's none, it's good to refresh in my mind ;)
Buff dudes I really love it when you show great exercises for all of the muscle Groups in your let's lift! I would also like to know your schematic for in what order and how you combo your muscle Groups for the different Days of the week! Have a great day!
you guys kick ass. I been hitting the gym up pretty regularly on 60 days to fit, but i think i injured my shoulder on a unbalanced fixed bench press at work, this sucks. hope it aint knife time.
Really helpful il admit.. i do a few of those mistakes, will try to change how i do stuff, Thanks again for these videos. Keep on inspiring guys! #thumbsup
I love the videos you guys. You've been an inspiration to keep pushing and keep going to the gym, even when the hours make it difficult. I was wondering if you guys have a clean and press video that I somehow missed, or if you'd be interested in doing a high tempo workout sometime (something like the buff dudes' improvements on crossfit), or something that incorporates a lot of explosive movements as well as the weight training. Otherwise, keep rocking dudes.
Military Press (overall development), super wide grip upright rows (compound movement for lateral head development), and face pulls (posterior head development) is all you need, I dont even do frontal raises, I hit the anterior head hard performing inclined bench on my chest days. If you notice, all those exercises are compound, but you can always throw some lateral raises and reverse flyes for variety, supersetting, pre-exhausting, you name it.
I have got to the point i get kinda upset when i log in and you guys have not posted a video.. Great advice yet again and fun viewing as well :) keep at it dudes.
Great Videos dudes!! Buff Dudes Could you guys make a video on "5 lower back mistakes to avoid?" that would be very helpful, my lower back is deteriorating..
Yo dudes just finished my last programme so finally trying the 12 week one you dudes made. Kicking my ass so far. As for videos some alternatives for seated leg raises and hamsting curls would be good as my gym does have those machines xD. Keep it up dudes
Great vid commenting on all the bad stuff I see at gyms. As for the face pulls, maybe you can make a vid on how to perform a correct one. There's several channels where this exercise is covered and I swear each one is different than the other in terms of height adjustment, stance and handle of the rope. Look into that. Thanks!
I think a lot of people really would benefit from correct shoulder mobility warm up. A lot of my clients complained about shoulder pain when they used to train. As soon as they came to me i used mobility warm ups emphasizing on the shoulder on chest days, shoulder days, press days. Any days that involve intense use of the shoulder girdle.
Can you do some videos regarding management of injuries. I have a nagging brachioradialis injury which forces me to do all back work with my palms facing each other, and lately I have had to avoid bicep work and flies completely. This is a 4 month old injury that I really want to heal, but I don't want to walk away from the gym either. Looking forward to your comments, and keep up the great videos. They are by far the most helpful available.
Hilarious and great advice. It seems everyday I'm at the gym I'm seeing people using too much weight and momentum. Injuring a shoulder sucks and takes a while to heal.
You guys have the perfect balance between humour and the serious stuff this channel is awesome! :D
Face pulls, now there's a new one. Thanks for that tip. I've just been using bent over raises for that. Now I can use a variety.
Tony B No problem, Tony. It's a great exercise!
+Tony B stick with the rows bro. Arnold never did face pulls. Also chins hit rear delts, low and high rows hit delts, reverse flies... all of them done with good form hit rear delt far better than face pulls and saves you looking weird in the gym.

+Buff Dudes thanks for another awesome vedio .. pls make one on (most common triceps mistakes )
***** I'm actually going to try them tomorrow when I hit the gym. I don't knew why I typed this. Editing it.
***** think I was trying to say rows are sufficient but he wants variety... Really lost on why I worded it this way. My bad
Buff dudes. I’ve been training for fitness my whole life, but you two have literally taught me more this past few weeks than any instructor in any gym has. You’re entertaining but both smart too. Subscribed!
omg..these guys are my fav...and also jeff from Athlenex.
Hell yeah. Recently found both of em. Like them a lot!
And Elliot Hulse. If you have never heard of him, look him up rn. Watch his Yo, Elliot! videos from like 2008-2013. He has so much knowledge amazing philosophy it sometimes blows my mind. He is actually the only person who i have found that actually knows what muscular imbalance is caused by.
+RS nah
Look at The Muscle Geek. Buffed like Buff Dudes and science way like Jeff.
Those are the only two channels I watch for workout related stuff.
Buff dudes you are the buffest!
I am currently injured. Still watching your videos. Thank you for your motivation, gives my energy!!
NEXT video: Top 5 DIET mistakes to avoid. Make it happen.
I think one mistake people make is not reading the nutrition label, and another being the fact that they let office treats get to them.

It's more psychologic than physical. People tend to get bored doing the same exercises over and over causing them to reach a plateau ))
Awesome tips. I see gym members making those mistakes all the time. I'm glad I did my research on the dos and donts of lifting. Yet I'm always looking for ways to improve. I truly appreciate your videos. You guys are funny yet informative.
These guys are educational and entertaining. 1million subscribers, stay buff. Cheers, mates

wow man thanks for the tips, i did not realize how much i was working the anterior muslces cuz i always do dips, bench and overhead press but not too much of the lateral raises and face pulls . thx for saving my posture.
Would you guys consider making another 12 workout plan just to switch it up. Love the first one! Love all of your videos!
I've been doing boxing training for a few weeks now and shoulders are a big thing in that. My coach keeps my form correct but this is all great advice. Thanks dudes :)
I have always had problems getting a good back workout. I would like to see a video about that. Thanks Buff Dudes!

Thank you! Love your channel. Getting into lifting heavy and it's awesome. Your channel has been a great resource for me. I will never go back to hours of cardio now that I know that lifting makes me feel like a ninja.

Buff Dudes Ya'll are spot on. my anterior part of my shoulder has been hurting for about a week or so and it is affection almost every heavy, upper body exercise. any suggestions for helping the repair of the shoulder?
Just started watching your channel and I love the 5 mistake videos, I'm guilty of a couple and will start working on them. Thanks dudes!
great series guys, easy to hurt your shoulders on shoulder days if you do something wrong.
Can you do some videos on stretching and warm ups? I feel like that is an essential part of training.
Thanks for the tips on shoulders! I was still wondering, though, if you would recommend dedicating an entire workout to shoulders, or just adding them onto your existing workouts? Thanks again, keep the great videos coming. You guys are hilarious!

Absolutely the most interesting and informative channel I've come across, I'm watching a vid every night before the gym morning.
Thanks 👍💪

Thanks Buff Dudes! It's a great series, for me there's always at least 1 mistake I could correct or even if there's none, it's good to refresh in my mind ;)
Another great video guys. How about a video for hitting calves? I seem to get little results.
I like that they state the importance in technique for results and safety.
Buff dudes I really love it when you show great exercises for all of the muscle Groups in your let's lift! I would also like to know your schematic for in what order and how you combo your muscle Groups for the different Days of the week! Have a great day!
How about a video on lower back mistakes or how to properly warm up stretch the lower back Great videos I've learned so much !! :)
Hey Buff Dudes, what about hair workout?
Thanks for the video. It was educational and very much entertaining also.
Buff dudes... Building shoulders and making smiles since day 1!
Hey dudes, thanks for these videos. I'd like to see more videos on how to work the muscle groups you can't see (back, calves, quads, etc). Thanks!
Exactly the information I needed ! Thanks for telling us that !
Great vid, loads of great advice as usual.
Great feed for shoulder guys really well done... I'll be looking you up for more No No advises. Holler
just got over a shoulder injury after using to much weight doing front raises ... thanks for the video

Hey Buff Dudes! Can you do a video about rep ranges, types of sets and their effects?
don't forget to workout the rotator cuff exercises, very important Brandon And Hudson
Really helpful il admit.. i do a few of those mistakes, will try to change how i do stuff, Thanks again for these videos. Keep on inspiring guys! #thumbsup
I love the videos you guys. You've been an inspiration to keep pushing and keep going to the gym, even when the hours make it difficult.

Thanks for the tips! You guys rock!!
I am new on weightlifting, and I bumped this morning to videos of Thors. Now I am educated. Thanks Thors! :) *Thor. With S. HAHA.
Great Videos dudes!! Buff Dudes Could you guys make a video on "5 lower back mistakes to avoid?" that would be very helpful, my lower back is deteriorating..
Make a video on lateral raises :) 👍🏻buff dude style
Great video and good advice. Thanks.
it's very well structured and informativ video. Not like on the other channel, where they have to mix some bullshit in to get views.
Just started watching your channel good stuff and humor.
Yo dudes just finished my last programme so finally trying the 12 week one you dudes made. Kicking my ass so far. As for videos some alternatives for seated leg raises and hamsting curls would be good as my gym does have those machines xD. Keep it up dudes

There's several channels where this exercise is covered and I swear each one is different than the other in terms of height adjustment, stance and handle of the rope.
Look into that. Thanks!
Brandon's out of control exercises are the best, especially the front raises!! 😂😂😂
You guys make it simple and easy to understand (vs. someone like Athlean-X). Also appreciate the humor. Great tips as usual, keep it up!
I think a lot of people really would benefit from correct shoulder mobility warm up. A lot of my clients complained about shoulder pain when they used to train. As soon as they came to me i used mobility warm ups emphasizing on the shoulder on chest days, shoulder days, press days. Any days that involve intense use of the shoulder girdle.

You guys should make an actual video game named Buff Dudes. The intro always makes me wish there was one.
Thanks for the excellent advices! I am recovering from a Supraspinatus tendonitis, do you have any exercises to help strengthen and recover properly?

Hilarious and great advice. It seems everyday I'm at the gym I'm seeing people using too much weight and momentum. Injuring a shoulder sucks and takes a while to heal.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on behind-neck press and upright rows
Great video Dudes!
Dudes thx for your videos really very awesome and i benefit from them very keep it up
