What benefits me most for shoulder development: - OHPs, using DBs and machines - Side Raises - Reverse Raises - Rear Delt Machine - Face Pulls - Clean and Snatch, but only once or twice a month What I avoid for my joint health and anatomy: - Any Other Cleans, especially jerk - Front Raises, both DBs and plates - Anything Alternating, no better of a benefit to use one arm at a time than using both arms
I haven’t isolated shoulder in over a year. Seen lots of growth with bench/incline, face pulls, and rows. Edit: lots of pull-up and hanging I think helps too
@@shawndejohn63 lol had no idea. What age is he? And he doesn't pretend he's not on HRT does he? As long as he doesn't lie it doesn't matter to me personally
@@alano2475 No he’s honest about it. He competed in bodybuilding and used steroids, but it caused his natural hormone production to be very low levels, so now he’s on hormone replacement therapy.
TRT isn’t magic lol. He’s not juicing. Only bringing his test to higher natural levels cause he was so low. What you see is Adams consistency with training and diet and now he’s not suffering from low testosterone.
It’s terrible for your lower back when you’re going for that last rep or 1rm. I think for functional strength it’s the best but for muscle development I don’t think it’s necessary
@@stevendiaz2656 why on earth should your lower back be in pain? Either you’re not using your core correctly, or your form is awful. Usually when I got for a PR on OHP I wear a belt just to help me brace, but never have I ever had lower back issues. Personally if you can get stronger at the OHP both with heavy singles but also volume work, your shoulders will gain tremendous amounts of muscle.
@@ibidibi1 I don’t use a belt for fictional strength, in the real world you won’t have a belt. What I’m trying to drive home at is that barbell compound movement will have mechanical break downs(high injury chance) if you’re going to failure. Rather use a smith machine or a shoulder machine and keep the muscle in constant tension and got to rep 9 or 10 and beyond (partials etc) I saw the study that said ppl who bench have bigger chest than people who don’t. Have you see people that just use machines only? They usually train like pussies or fly thru reps it’s not indicative that machines aren’t good muscle builders

Bruh Adam is looking in great shape. Looks athletic, big and fills out the shirt easily
You do know he isn’t natural, he’s on HRT.

@@alano2475 nah he talks about it casually. Adam is a great man

Adam looking like a beast in this!
A standing OHP is a fundamental for impressive shoulders!!!

@@stevendiaz2656 you shouldn't be hurting your back ohping. Use a belt if you cant brace properly, theres NOTHING wrong with using a belt
@@thegreatguy3829 belts , knee brace, lifting straps = tricycles
That was great guys! Check under your chair.
OHP and wide high cable rows
How can I ask my question like her ? Face to face
When he said “look under you chair”. “My cats there”. Nobody else caught that or am I the only immature one here.
What is maps, anabolic?
Put it in the google search and results will literally appear.
I hope didn't get her blue belt and bounce! Get back on those mats!!
