Good old times when standing dumbbell rotations were meta before gravity was invented
Hahahaha
yea there's literally no point in doing those 😂😂
There is point, it’s the momentum of dumbbell which is resisted by rotator cuffs. Everything this guy says isn’t holy grail.
@@drblitzkreig That may be true but it's so inefficient and potentially counter productive because of the front delt taxing that there is no point. Grabbing a cable or a band is always better. Or do the dumbbell version with your elbow on your knee, you know, proper gravity and resistance
@@walter7454the momentum created back and forth is good for warming up both rotator cuffs, it’s true that the absence of gravity makes it no more than a warmup
But it is a warmup
I may be dumb. But I'll never be that guy who's standing in the corner of a gym waving a dumbell left to right.
Youd be surprised how easily the cancer spreads. I used to do em from time to time cuz i always saw other dudes warming up like that 🤦
You sound insecure and you said it dumb 😭
I see them all the time

@@Izaiah3333oh no, front delt raise spammer spotted
Fun fact: Waiter curls are called that way because you will wait quite long for the results
You won the internet my good sir
I don’t know, when I tried, my bicep felt the burn pretty fast. I do it as a burn out exercise at the end of my arm workout
@@timothykao7997 Same, but i don't position my hands the same he does. These subtle changes do make a difference
@@timothykao7997 same. I use them to focus on the pump. Nice and slow controlled reps and it'll feel like the bicep is gonna pop. Or do it as you said, as a burnout after you've done your other arm work.
@@timothykao7997 Try it with a shake weight and you will be ready for the club.
"Waiter curls"

Waiting to see that 😂 at this point, idk who to believe
@@Im-Red-Faction not Athlean x
Jeff never said to do Waiter Curls and not EZ bar curls, in fact- his first biceps exercise of choice is EZ curls. Waiter curls are complimentary for 'pump'.
@@Abhi-wh3ik a better alternative are incline curls which allow a better stretch

Above the knee rack pulls?
Someone summon Alpha destiny
I bought the traps and neck program and Jeff included rack pulls there (which I believe have been awesome for my traps), it's weird to see that exercise in this list
Rack pulls below the knee are a lot better than above the knee and rack pulls either way are overrated, you're better off doing deadlifts@@sergiomendoza4827
Jeff and alex leonidas are friends actually
No need to summon him if you follow him you know his time with them are past and while not overated he hyped them way to much and there are plenty alterntives.
He has not done them for ages.
@sergiomendoza4827 The issue with Jeff's body part specific guides is that they are dated. I think he's updated his belief system in regard to movements and hypertrophy.
For example, I know for a fact that program also incorporates bar holds/plate pinches. While these are good for strength, they're submaximal due to the lack of stretch or a cocentric/eccentric phase. You can get the same time under tension, build strength in a wider plane of movement, and cause the summation of metabolites that signal muscle growth (the burn) way easier and more enjoyably by doing Smith Machine Shrugs, cable reverse curls, forearm curls, etc.

I feel they fo what they're supposed to do! You shouldn't so only these but you could use it as complimentary isolation if you only have dumbells at home
Imagine if he put face crushers on this list.
To be fair…Jeff uses that exercise as an example to show the wrists being neutralized from the lift. He suggests to use that grip for all sorts of curls.
2nd, that lift was made popular by a bodybuilder(forget who), who had lots of success with it. So yeah, I’ll still do them.

@@fredrikandersson1846 fuck no
i agree with everything except the rack pulls. coming from a physiotherapy perspective. rack pulls can be a great alternative to regress the deadlift if you want to try keep the movement in the program until your back injury heals.
i struggle with generic sciatica and hurt my back while deadlifting. i switched it to a rack pull for two weeks to rehab the back and now im back deadlifting stronger than ever.
He said “above the knee” rackpulls.
@@benw2119 my point includes with rack pulls above the knee my dude.
@@QuickCuriosity150well….above the knee and below the knee are entirely different lifts….my dude 😂
@@benw2119 no there not from a rehab perspective. if i was progress a paitent with low back pain to a full deadlift i would start them at a rack pull above the knee or slightly below the knee cap if there pain levels allow and week to week lower the height and then the paitent can transition to a full deadlift.
they may be different lifts but there very similar. again im looking at this from a rehab perspective not a body building one. there both great excercises that have there place
@@benw2119 i would encourage you to read into some of the statements i’ve made in your own time and see if you agree or disagree with me. i’ve enjoyed this discussion
Crunches not being on here is diabolical
As an Army vet, the amount of time I spent writhing on my back in the rain, snow and heat in pure agony cranking out sets of this useless exercise pains me.
To this day, I don't train abs anymore ( I really need to start though, lol).
@attainthegrain cable crunches are miles better than any normal bw crunches just bc you can progressively overload. I would do those instead
@@ytmld Yeah, I don't do any exercises without adding extra weight/resistance. It's nonsensical. I don't know why they are so widely encouraged tbh.
@AttainTheGrain Oef Vet here- I attest!
Agree with waiter curls and external rotation exercises but rack pulls are not useless because u can overload ur upper back muscles with it. And front raises are good time under tension exercise for front delts.
when you understand physics you understand that gravity isn't the only force out there. Standing external rotation targets your rotator cuff. You are horribly wrong
@@artemis1127 bro he didnt said that he doesnt agrees with external rotation
@@--Alexander-- where did I say he said that. My point is that the exerciss does work your external and internal rotators
@@artemis1127 less a matter of not targeting the rotators, more a case of it being highly inefficient an easily replaced by something far more optimal.
If standing DB is all you have to work with, then making do is better than doing nothing - that will very rarely be the case for anyone that has access to a standard gym or basic equipment
@@Kabra2012 who is it inefficient? The faster you go the more torque required to change the motion.
The above the knee rack pull helped my traps grow far more than any shrug ever has
They also get smashed on the snatch and clean and jerk if you wanna more useful lifts
@@Fishlord136 in the context of pure bodybuilding goals, I would actually pass on Olympic lifts
Yet those have a higher injury risk, and also a higher fatigue to stimulus ratio. @@Fishlord136
Further you can overload way more.
Like the strongest lifter can go above 1000lbs for above the knee pulls.
You could also use progressive range of motion where you increase the Rom as a way of progressive overload.
Same!
Uh huh
The “waiter curls” instead grab the DB as a wheel and curl it from in front of hip to behind the neck, to the triceps stretched position. I do these as a mobility style warm up for my upper body it helps keep my elbows and shoulders from becoming a a rice krispy treat. You can also do this lying down to get a really solid pump in the chest and lats / serratus muscle (or however its spelled, who needs big brain when you have big muscles and big heart (LVH is a serious condition don’t take that lightly brothers)
I actually like to do 2 sets of moderately heavy front raises before I bench press. I used to have really sore shoulders after benching heavy but warming them up has helped a lot.
I think rack pulls are great for building grip strength but agree about doing other things for traps.
How bout just do any other pull and actually get stuff out of it. rack pulls are pointless
@@stuka101 it depends on your goal. You can load up for rack pulls much heavier than a bent over row or lat pull down. And it's much safer. Especially if you're doing it as a finisher to your workout on pull day. Same with something like dead hangs.
@angelortiz6373 well obviously because the ROM is so small. I guess if you're concerned about grip strength your main focus must be power lifting. Ylu get enough of it through other exercises in body building.
@stuka101 exactly my point. 👍 similar to how doing negatives and controlling the eccentric can help you build strength even if you can't lift it in the concentric phase of the exercise.
Look like an old school grandpa still working out at 80 with those wardrobe choices. Love it
Sorry my Guy rack pulls are goated. Helps build a thick back and shore up weakness to help your Deadlifts. Traps are hammered also.
Do a pull up. Size guys love looking huge , not being strong
Not everyone is looking to be strong. If people just want to put on muscle/size that’s fine
@@Bruh-lm4zr who tf doesnt want to be strong?
Number 3 was a good tip for fixing a shoulder issue I'm currently facing.
Those front raises are to help create that separation from shoulder and chest. I do them with the power grip to really emphasis deepening that front cut.
Front raises are the most overhated exercise. Theyre awesome and if you have an overhand grip already hit the side delt too. They are not as good for overall shoulder development as shoulder press/high incline press and not as important as side raises but still very good. The posterior delts get a huge stimulus by doing any back exercise and still people say its fine to do reverse peck deck or facepulls for them.
Glad you said this because it's become a negative trend now hating on them
@DanielDangana lmao front delts for the win. All I see is dudes with underdeveloped front belts saying how unnecessary it is. The front delta activates from resistance. Push ups, bench doesn't work that. The chest is doing the majority of the work. It's just trendy.
@@SurelyCursed Yeah, exactly. Don't know where people got this idea that bench press works the front delts. It just doesn't
@@SurelyCursed yup. My side and rear delt are more developed than my front, so my shoulders are wide but lack fullness
Front raise - depends on your program and physique. You may abdolutely need more anterior delt work
Waiter curls - trash
Dumbbell rotations - trash
Above knee rack pulls - useful for powerlifters having problems at lockout and for developing deadlift grip strength (if use without straps or with fat grips)
Trouble at Lockout is always a positioning problem. It doesn’t help you extra with your full deadlift. It is useful for isolated holds though. But then if all you want to practice is your grip, you might as well do them from shrug height.
when you understand physics you understand that gravity isn't the only force out there. You are horribly wrong. Dumbbell external rotation while standing isn't trash. Your understanding of physics is
Theyre also great if you throw a ball or other throwing motion in a sport you compete in. Pitchers esp, qb, all baseball players. Flexibility and stability with range of motion is important if you dont enjoy sitting out for injury recovery
Rack pulls above the knee can make sense for pros though, dont oversimplify pls.
It can help if the top range is weak for an individual, you can overload way more than with shrugs for the traps, and you also dont fatigue your legs as much. Further it can be nice for grip strength.
fatigue your legs in shrugs? lmao wut. grip strength? ye nah you get that from almost every exercise with arms involved. rack pulls are pointless, you dont need heavy weights for traps to build with all its androgen receptors...bodybuilding isnt about lifting heavy.
The money in something like a front raise is not the front delt work. Its the rotator cuff stability as a secondary benefit that makes the exercise good. Only thing that matters is context
A lot of people will take this as “dont do front raises”
When front raises are not all that bad
Naw ATK RACK PULLS ARE THE BEST FOR UPPER BACK
Even though the waiter curl is far from the optimal bicep exercise, they can be great if you have wrist issues. I have chronic wrist problems that limit my ability to grip and curl and the waiters curl is one of the few exercises I can do.
There is no bad exercise. Just whatever is convenient for u.
Nah, it's stupid. Just use lighter dumbbells or a lighter curl bar.

Front raises work great for me as a warm up. My shoulders feel more stable and less joint-sore whenever I start with them.
DB external rotations in a side plank position are solid too!
Agreed but a lot of gym goers do it standing unfortunately I see so many make that mistake

The only excersise I do out of these examples is front raises, I still think they are worth the extra isolation.
I’m not a fan of a loose grip. I was loose gripping a lot of exercises and I would always get the tennis elbow and golf elbow pains so I started getting deeper and tighter grips and the pains went away.
Phil Heat says we should do front raises. He says it is like "why do you train biceps if you already trainer them with back? Exacrly, that is why you do front raises even if you already trained your shoulders with shoulder press" . Plus, a physical therapist told me to do them to treat shoulder pain (which was in reality bicep tendonitis) and yes, it helped. So yes people, do front raises.
Rack pulls are great. I start a few inches below the knee and end the motion with a shrug.
Rack pulls are far superior to deadlifts. More back isolation, when deadlift is a mix of legs and back.
@@Coconuthut1Stiff leg deadlift
@@KurokamiNajimi solid for the hammies. If I want to isolate back rack pulls or rows are best
@@Coconuthut1 You are right that the back is more active in the mid-shortened of a deadlift but I don’t necessarily think of exercises as better than each other anymore bc of slightly different stimulus and variety for avoiding long term overuse. Heck you could do a stiff leg rack pull I never thought of that
Rack Pulls have the highest activation for the Traps in EMG studies.
Edit: EMG's are not always the best determining factor for hypertrophy, however, rack pulls have also historically made my traps significantly more sore than any other exercise. Stimulus to Fatigue ratio isn't the best, but if you want to target the traps they are a great option imo. I say take the Pepsi challenge & find out for yourself 🤷🏼
And god awful sfr ratio, also emg isn't the best indicator of growth
Emg is not good indicator of growth
Rack pulls are pretty nice for ppl recovering from a bad back injury 🤷🏼♂️ before I started doing deadlifts again I made rackpulls instead and they really helped a lot
Thank god you mentioned hyper extension of the wrists🙌
It's like nobody notices how bad that could be for the joints for. People with average or below average genetics😢
I don't buy the "if you feel it too much in the forearms, loosen the grip". Idk how this makes any sense bio-mechanically. It's like the people who say to take a looser grip on lat pull downs: just because you weaken your connection to the lift at one point doesn't mean it becomes stronger at the other connection points
It's more about how you end up overcompensating with your forearms instead. By "loosening" your grip, you're not forcing the weight up with your forearrms. It's not strict advice of course but it could a good cue for some
Exactly what I thought
The advice works because when you’re curling, you might try and cut short the range of the bicep by curling with your hands sometimes thinking they’ve hit high enough; hence the forearms taking over. That’s why you let the forearms go so you can feel the actual range of the bicep. It may seem silly but it definitely happens especially in a really hard set where you’re grinding as much as you can from every rep
@@damram6952 the loosening grip que might have some logic behind it when doing curls because in a curl you can flex your forearm to lift the weight but in most cases and especially pull down exercises loosening your grip or using a thumb less grip is straight up dumb because in fact your forearms cannot do shoulder extension and the only thing you will achieve with such a grip is loosing tightness
I agree. Further, having strong forearms is better long terms. Weak forearms are not conducive to pull ups or rows.
Never understood the front raise slander. Why would you not want your front delts bigger? Bigger front delts = bigger OHP, bench, dip…
Because you already train a lot of front delts anyway, by for example bench press, incline dumbell press, shoulder press, dips, ... any pressing exercise in general
Junk volume beast
Concentration curls are the best do them instead of waiter curls. As when u hit failure assist yourself with the other hand for your concentration curls, this way you can really feel the PUMP
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for all the solid info, Jeff
I never thought about how unnecessary are the front raises! You sabed me a lot of time! Every time I watch this short videos he upgrades my game in just a few seconds!
I honestly wouldn't take his advice. Absolutely nothing wrong with isolating them
yeah everybody says "the front delts already get enough volume!" but the same could be said for the tricep, biceps and forearms. Yet we overload them, because we want them massive. If you want massive front delts doing isolation could be a solid part of your plan
I like waiter curls to failure as my last set for biceps exercises. I do them over an upright bench, which doesn't leave the best range of motion. But at the end of a pull day, nothing lights up my biceps more than waiter curls and it ensures that my biceps are the muscle that's failing.
I love waiter curls as well
I do waiter curls. since you can go really heavy. And they hit my brachiallis effectively. My pull ups has gotten a lot stronger because of it.
I use waiter curls for the same reason.
Killing it short king

Nobody is overrating front raises. They’re like never done…

Not really. A lot of people do that at my gym
That’s what I was thinking about the other ones too
Well done! The effort and passion are evident.

Barbell raises in general suck. Grab a band and do dislocates with a pull back of the shoulders at the front and a curling inward of them at the back. Bring hands in a bit on the band to increase tension and load every fiber under stretch and then contraction across the entire movement.
Beautiful video. I always say all of these to people. Especially that gravity points down, so most people are doing medicine ball workouts wrong.

The #1 underrated exercise is weighted back extension, especially going really heavy.
Good advice. However, F = ma. In the external rotations you are alternating the direction of acceleration to both stop the dumbbell from continuing its motion and to move it in the opposite direction. The additional mass of the dumbbell gives it inertia, which requires more force from your shoulders. Using a cable instead applies a constant force against your motion, but only in the outward direction. It’s a trade off: dumbbell rotations will work your shoulders in both direction but will apply most of the workload at the extremities of the motion, while cable rotations will apply a constant resistance but only in one direction, which may require additional reps to work the other direction.
I used to follow the 'no front delt work needed' thing, but honestly once I sprinkled in more front delt work they're getting bigger. So that's all the evidence I need.
I don’t think anyone is arguing that isolating the front delts won’t make them bigger, just that if you’re really hammering your bench and whatnot you won’t need them.
My front delts are underdeveloped so I DO front db raise and they are great. I like to warm up with bands and the rack pulls can be great if you have hard time locking out.
Lock out is always a positioning issue. Above the knee rack pulls aren’t saving you there since I assume you don’t struggle to lift your max from above knee height. Bet you do it for reps. So in that case it’s just ego padding or time wasting at best.
Holy shit i click on this after a few month hiatus and youre Huge AND have some sick video editing going on wtf. What a lad
In external rotation with a dumbbell you are actually fighting the inertia of the weight, so it’s not exactly the same as without weights
Thank you, he was being really smarmy with that comment.
nice edits
One thing that you seem to miss is that the dumbbells do add inertia so if you move at the same speed it will take more force to do that than without dumbbells. Nice video though
Inertia doesn't work that way. Dumbbells will always require more force to initiate and stop the movement. Still a stup!d exercise.
@@himeshsinghshishodiya what I meant was if you move it at the same speed as without the dumbbells you’re providing more force to accelerate them to that speed I know how inertia works
There’s inertia when your switching directions and moving them
I don't think it makes it any useful though. Also, it seems like the stretch reflex takes away any mechanical tension anyway
@@himeshsinghshishodiyaand what stops the movement? Your rotator cuff🤯🤯
The above the knee rack pulls are good for recovering from a lower back injury.
The vertical force of gravity and the length of your arms creates a moment force on your shoulders
"Your front delts are worked in every pressing exercise so you don't have to isolate"
Same thing with triceps, but we do isolate it right?
Exactly almost every muscle needs to be isolated at least once in a while
Jeff looking big as heck.

@jokerpilled2535 not sure, but being so short helped him get big a lot quicker than a man of normal stature
@@jokerpilled2535 15+ years, probably nearing 20 years by now. He's been working out since he has a teenager, and he is in his early 30s if I'm not mistaken. At this point he's probably already at his genetic ceiling, so the only way to make noticeable gains is by bulking up, which is obviously mostly fat.

@@tyler___4558 How tall is he?
DB external rotations are great, just gotta do them bent over like barbells rows. I start every single workout with 1 set of bent over DB external rotations just using the 5 lbs. It's really not a movement where you want a ton of tension anyway in my opinion so go light. It's just about getting them rotators warmed up and awakening the upper body. You don't want to tire them out.
I will always do isolation work for all 3 delts. Don’t care that I work them during pressing.

wasting your own time is entirely your own prerogative
I’m not on gear and I’m certainly not wasting my time.
@@sirhc4923 keep doing it if you want. All he's saying is that you don't need it in order for them to grow. This doesn't mean the extra volume won't make them grow faster, it just depends how much volume you can handle.

Thank you for these tips
Jeff you are awesome and I have been watching your videos forever. I just want to show some appreciation. We all benefit from your videos so keep it up.
Gripping the bar softer does not increase bicep engagement in a curl.
If anything gripping the bar increases bicep engagement as their will be more stability.
If you just don’t want to fatigue your forearms then that’s fine ig
that just aint true...
softer grip or with straps is better to take tension off of forearms, but the bicep won’t actually change unless if your ROM changes or weight
BUT WHAT ABOUT LONG LENGTH PARTIALS? YOU DIDN'T MENTION LONG LENGTH PARTIALS.
I overemphasized hammer curls when I was younger and it built a foundation that seems to always take over. When I added waiter curls, it allowed me to recruit parts of my biceps that I haven’t felt for years and drastically changed the shape. That being said, I sacrificed weight and put emphasis on reps or extended tension over time.
It’s not that it is a good exercise or a bad exercise. It is a specific exercise. They will not be part of my normal routine. They will be beneficial to everyone. And even if it would benefit someone, that may be counteracted by how they do it.
That being said, feel free to experiment, but don’t let the newest trend become your blueprint.
Good suggestions. I might be wrong, but I think the rack pulls are meant as an accessory for those with difficulty locking out the top of a deadlift (and done with heavy/workset weight to mimic the deadlift).
Bro are you on dirty bulk j😂
What I was thinking 😂
Wtf
Gotta say this: your genetics are influencing your advice to a general advice. Some-many actually- people do indeed show much more deltoid development with front raises than without, regardless of presses in your routine. Same with your curling advice. Different muscular shape and connections simply require different avenues of stimulation. Maybe not overrated exercises, maybe you just don't need the particular stimulation they provide because you have a fortunate conglomeration of hypertrophically prodigious genes
So many people aren't aware of better and more effective exercises. Your opinion seems to have some personal agenda to it or just a poor comprehension of how Jeff's advice is intended to be taken? If someone is getting some end all development from front raises then they would be a fool for changing their program because of another person's advice anyway.
nice tips, one of my favourite fitness influencers. Can you do a video about resting times?
Dumbbell External Rotation has inertial forces on the shoulder joint.

Looooove me some mid shin rack-pulls. Stand on a couple plates if your safety racks won't go low enough
Jay cutler swears by rack pulls and his back was insane. That initial ground to rack height is engaging a lot of flutes and hamstrings.
Rack pulls isolates lower back and is way more safer without the need for the huge effort to break the weight from the ground

I do below the knee rack pulls. I have sciatica nerve issues and I also find full ROM deadlifts just uncomfortable, so I settle for rack pulls where the bar is just below the knee. Combine that with heavy AF farmer's carry and stiff legged deadlifts, you will hit the posterior chain just fine 😊
bro forgot what "overrated" means
I've just added shrugs to my program, good back exercise after my deadlifts. Then some dips to round out my day
I don’t know but front raises did wonders for me
Yes likewise. I appreciate the intention of the video, but things need to be taken with a grain of salt, not interpreted as unequivocal truth.
Check out 3 different trainers and they will fundamentally adhere to training specifics, but go about it in various ways.
Love Jeff Nippard 💪🏽 one of the only ppl I take advice from n seen a difference between my look and strength
Awesome advice man!
Love the editing!👌
When you shake the weights side to side, yes you dont fight gravity, but the side to side motion still taking force to change direction.
I always do bent-over dumbbell rotations as rotator cuff warm up because cables are often taken
Above the knee rack pulls are gold
pointless
Bro made some voice gainz
Your videos are helping me get shredded
If you hit your biceps doing pulling movements, then why are you doing bicep curls?
I personally don't do them, but I understand rack pulls when the lockout of your DL is your sticking point
Honestly I think above the knee rack pulls are better for trap development than shrugs because of the insane trap stretch and cause less systemic fatigue than deadlifts.
DB external rotation is a bit more complex then that and normally I dont feel that you neglect the details. I belive it works like the standing ab twister(using a barbell for weight). The work is in the acceleration and deceleration, thus the more load, the higher the moment needed. (But yes for warmup no weights can get you warm just fine)
My delts started really growing once I incorporated cable front raises
Inertia will apply resistance on the external rotations
Banded external rotations are goated for anyone with hypermobile shoulders
excellent content style and length 👌🏽
