  • Wondering how to grow your shoulders? Today I want to share the #1 shoulder workout that absolutely blew up my delts. My Filipino genetics blessed me with a 1:1 shoulder-to-waist ratio and narrow clavicles that made me look frail and weak. But I refused to let my genetics define me. This past year, my shoulders are wider, broader, and fuller than they’ve ever been. I followed a simple, science-based shoulders workout that’s worked better than anything I’ve tried in the past. There are only 3 shoulder exercises (including the crowd fav, lateral raises) in this shoulders workout, but proper form is crucial, so pay attention.
    Click below for a step by step plan training plan that reveals all the best exercises you should do for each and every muscle group:

    First up in our shoulder workout, the side delts. This is the part of the shoulders that broadens your frame and is where I put most of my effort. Now in the past, in my delts workout, I’d always just do your typical dumbbell lateral raises. But there’s an exciting new area of research called long muscle length training that suggests muscles tend to grow better if they’re challenged in the stretched position.
    But the thing about dumbbell lateral raises is they’re easiest at the bottom when the delt is fully stretched and hardest at the top when the delt is fully contracted. The opposite of what we want. So I chose behind-the-body cable lateral raises for my delts workout to target my side delts instead. This is where I stand in front and to the side, so my side delt is now stretched behind me. Make sure the cable is 2-3 notches from the bottom so it challenges your delts the most when it’s stretched.
    A crucial progressive overload tip: I’d start around 10 reps per set, and only once I was able to do at least 15-20 reps per set with good form did I increase the weight. This way, I still made gains by increasing my reps, and then once I did make that jump in weight, I was ready for it.
    So the side delts create width, but the rear delts help balance out the shoulder and give it that 3D look. But it’s by far the most underdeveloped part of most people’s shoulders. We know that muscles are best grown if the arm path of the exercise matches the direction of the muscle’s fibers. In the case of the rear delts, they run at about a 45-degree angle. What I found to be the most successful of all the shoulder exercises with was using this 45-degree arm angle during the reverse cable fly, but with a few steps back from the cable to make it more difficult near the beginning of the exercise when the rear delts are more stretched.
    But you could apply this to the reverse pec deck as well. Move the seat up high and instead of sitting right up against the pad, scoot your butt back and lean your chest into the pad. This way, your arm angle will now line up better with rear delts. And if you don’t have access to cables or machines for your delts workout, you can do an incline dumbbell row with your arms kept at that 45-degree angle.
    In all of these exercises, though, to prevent your mid-back muscles from taking over, don’t squeeze your shoulder blades together. Push your arms forward to open up your shoulder blades, and keep them that way as you pull your elbows back.
    Lastly, we'll tackle the front delts in our shoulders workout. Now in the past, I’d always do standing barbell overhead presses. But they just really started beating up my joints, and it was always a struggle to stay balanced. So I switched this out for a more stable and smoother exercise on the joints, the seated dumbbell shoulder press. But not the way most people do it.
    Instead, you’ll want to try to bring the bench back about 1-2 notches, and as you can see, it’ll require far less shoulder mobility. Once you’re set-up, line up your arm with the front delt fibers by driving your elbows inwards slightly with your palms facing in. Then, press the weight over your shoulders and return back to this starting position after each rep.
    You now know how to grow your shoulders! Here are the 3 exercises with the reps, sets, alternatives, and how often to perform them.
    Seated dumbbell shoulder press
    3 sets x 6-10 reps, 1x/week
    Alternative - machine shoulder press
    Behind body cable lateral raise
    3-4 sets x 10-20 reps, 2-3x/week
    Alternative - dumbbell lateral raise (with partials at end)
    Reverse cable fly
    3 sets x 10-15 reps, 1-2x/week
    Alternative - reverse pec deck, incline dumbbell rear delt row
    You could do this as a workout on its own, but I’d recommend splitting these exercises up into 2-3 of your workouts throughout the week.
    Research is always evolving. I may end up being wrong about all of this in a few years' time, but I will do my best to keep you guys updated with the latest science. So far, though, the research is promising, and it seems like it’s working.

      The rule of thumb is that at least 3 independent sources agree with each other (to a degree) then it is a statistically significant result. So, if you have at least 3 different people share the same result "based on my experience", then you can use it as a reference. Sadly most people would rely on one person's opinion on any given topic, which is not good. Hope that helps.

    Hearing you say “not just stretching, but challenging the muscle the most while in the stretched position” was a lightbulb moment for me. You used the seated curls vs preacher curls example and 🤯 I chose those seated ones becuase I thought it was just about stretching the most.
    Awesome stuff and really slick animations too, shout-out to you (and/or your editor)!

    • @Turntablist11
      @Turntablist11 3 месяца назад

      The thing is that the bicep is a two headed muscle, with one head having it's origin above the shoulder joint, and coming to a stretched position for that head involves moving your arm straight back with your palm facing forward, just as you do in an incline db curl. In a preacher curl, that head couldn't get stretched. The other head of the muscle would, though.
      So, having your arm behind your body, while loading the muscle in the more stretched position would be the way to go then, if the research in the video holds true. That might get tricky, of course. Seated incline cable curls would work (swap the dumbbell in the video with a cable behind the body), but could be a bit of a pain to setup depending on the gym that you're at.
      Standing cable curl, with one arm behind the body, pulling from a point high up on the cable tower... it might be unstable for some, but do try it.

Thank you! I'm currently 6 weeks into my strength training and muscle growth journey to try and see how much my muscles can grow. I'm born disabled with a non-progressive muscle and joint syndrome but my muscles are all there, just not trained in an intentional way since no one really cared to focus on that when I was growing up, therapists just threw exercises at me saying "this might work" but never explained them. I'm turning 34 now, this is going to be my year of growth!

    For incline bicep curls the key is to bring the elbow forward and hold it there while you curl. You get WAY activation than amy preacher curl and it is easier on your joints. Start at half your strict curl weight though becuase they will mess you up. The preactivation isometric hold of the front delt really makes the bicep feel like it is going to explode with the pump and the stretch at the bottomof the rep is insane.

Sometimes I do holds with rest pause sets, unsure how effective for muscle growth but def enjoy doing them.

    If you only have dumbbells and want to load the side delts when they are most stretched, lie on your side when performing the side delt raise (similar to standing version but you are horizontal). The muscle will be challenged most at the beginning of the exercise. You can use the same technique for front delts. Simply lie down on your back, hold the dumbbells by your thighs and lift until your arms are perpendicular to the floor. I got these exercises from Doug Brignole’s The Physics of Resistance Exercise book which is incredible .

    I fastened resistance bands to my wall, which pretty well duplicates what a cable pull can do (not as good of course, but good enough). I also typically combine this method (using my PowerBlock dumbbells) with my incline bench press, underhand flies, flat bench press, and close grip bench press. Now you have me thinking that I should also combine this method with my lateral raises. Hmmm.

    I tore my rotator a couple of years ago and rehabbed w/out surgery…it was a brutal year plus recovery. I warmup with bands and for a period spammed lateral and rear delt side raises 10/15/20lbs and face pulls…2/3 sets of 30-40 reps each, 5x a week for several months. No shoulder issues and only run OHP sets once a week no more than 70lbs. I also focus on chest/bench supported to eliminate any cheating. It works for me but I’m a little older at 53 so I just want to be able to keep what I have and maybe build a little lean mass…but also be able to play golf…albeit poorly. Lol. Good luck everyone.

    My shoulders blew up after your previous video where you tested muscle activation % in shoulders. I've always done shoulder press, however I do seated barbell. Can only go to 80kg but I've had spinal surgery.
    What made the difference for me, was I started doing the cable reverse flies. They BLEW UP over the next few months. 100% are the "secret hidden gem your dr doesn't know about".
    I haven't tried the behind-the-body side raises, will throw them in too. I have had good results from standard shoulder raises tbh, I go heavy enough that if I told you, other people would call me a liar on the internet. Nice to do something slightly lighter but with greater time under tension sometimes.

I also hope you can continue the series of where you used Betty to find out the best exercises for parts of the body and I hope you do with more parts (maybe all? please do) I would really love it and a lot of people will find it meaningful . Or if you can't, maybe make a video (it can be long, no worries) where you show the top 10 exercises for each muscle group making sure it hits all areas of that muscle group and like making a workout for that muscle group after telling what the topo exercises are and also include sets, reps and more.

    I train at home, 59, and I began again 1,5 years ago after a 13 years break. Doing light weights and lots of sets and reps now, since the body is not the same as in younger years. Dumbbells and a barbell is all that I have, and a flat bench. I do the whole body with that. Keeping it simple. For shoulders I just do rear shoulders first with standing dumbbells side raises, leaning forward slightly, butt out. Then I do regular standing side raises. I finish off with sets of shrugs. This is all I have done since I started, and have had great results. More to say about the starting up again, but keeping it short. Most important is to stick with it. ...day out and day in. And the results will come.

      i pretty much do the same thing you're doing. i go for low weight like 10-15 lbs for lateral raise but like 25 rep sets. the side raise with slight leaning forward seems to build lateral delt mass the best for me. standing straight up doesn't work not sure why lol. i just prefer lighter higher reps for delts seems i can keep form better and less likely to hurt myself. you can get a great burn with low weights for delts.
      i feel like delts are the only muscles I need weights for. all other muscles i feel happy just doing pushups, pullups, squats and a few other body weight exercises. but i'm just not happy with my delts without using dumbbell to really focus on the delts to make them pop, which are critical to creating upper body shape/silhouette especially wearing a shirt.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    01:24 🏋️‍♂️ *Main exercise for side delts: Behind-the-body cable lateral raises, ensuring proper cable height for optimal delt challenge.*
    02:23 🔄 *Weight progression tip for lateral raises: Stick to the same weight, increase reps gradually (10 to 15-20 reps) before adding more weight to maintain form.*
    04:43 🔄 *Rear delt isolation: Use a 45° arm angle during reverse cable fly or reverse pec deck, ensuring the arm path matches the rear delt muscle fibers.*
    06:21 🏋️‍♂️ *Front delt exercise: Seated dumbbell shoulder press with arms at a 90° angle, bringing the bench back for less shoulder mobility strain.*
    07:31 🧠 *Workout frequency recommendation: Split the three exercises into two to three workouts per week for shoulder development.*

    5:06 I found that I can feel my rear delt best when I tug my shoulder blades in throughout the entire execrice/rom, so that the only muslce that has room to move is my rear delt.

    #3 is basically a high incline chest press. Which is actually great for front delts. The incline bench is a great tool, because depending on how far you incline you slowly move the area you're working down from your front delts to your upper chest. Anyway, I don't do any front delt isolation exercises. The incline bench is enough to work both my upper pecs and my front delts, and I'm pretty happy with the results

    I recently heard a few times that the side delts benefit more if the arms are kept a little to the front when doing lateral raises, instead of literally to the side. The reason given was precisely the direction of the muscle fibres that are mentioned a few times in this video. So I wonder how that goes together with Jeremy's observation that behind the back lateral raises gew his side delts more.
