[Music] so shoulders have always been a weak point of M until I started changing up the way that I trained them so I’m really going to show you my top five workouts who get bigger shoulders and you know even if you have the biggest chest the biggest arms if you have a narrow frame and small shoulders your physique is not going to be where you want it to be so these are the things that I’ve really been doing to grow my shoulders and have my premal had some good pre-workout and uh I’m ready to go you know nice early morning today got in here around like 11:00 a lot earlier than I usually do so today’s going to be a good [Music] day [Music] ah okay so one of my favorite things to start off with is Lou raises just super easy to get some blood into your shoulders get the feeling the connection and you just get a pump BL really quick you can even use 10 lb weight 5 lb weight and if you’re doing enough reps the 5 lb weight can he can get really heavy but you know started with some 15s gradually works up to about 30 and and that’s about my cap there um because anything after 30 I feel like right now it’s kind of just me Swinging the uh the dumbbell I’m not getting too much out of it so I don’t like to go above that but one of the best things to do for this instead of just going straight out to your sides you want to bring the dumbbells a bit in front of you almost at like a 45° angle almost not fully um but I feel like it just allows you to Target your your side lateral or your your delt your side delt a lot more more um than straight up to the side and you know I’m going based off feeling and that’s what I feel the best but it’s good to play around with you know the motion of your movement and uh just the overall um the overall range in general so you know if you feel it the best a certain way just ride with that but um did about uh I’m doing two two top sets here uh not too heavy like I said aiming for somewhere between like 10 and 12 reps and really just trying to crank it out so you know already have a pump first movement a really good sign um shoulders is something that a lot of people have difficulty with at least getting a connection and I’m one of those people so I know it’s going to be a good day when I’m feeling at the first movement something that I learned from Han uh I trained with them I think like two 3 months ago probably 3 four something like that but um at the end of my set I’ll drop the dumbbells and I’ll put my hands on my hips and just really get a good like shoulder squeeze going a good shoulder flex and that’s just going to P it’s going to pump a bunch of blood into your shoulders at the end of the movement when you know you can’t get much out of uh out of a set when you’re already taxed when you can’t get any more reps but the one thing you can do is flex and it’s going to hurt uh because you know you’re pushing more blood into your already pumped up shoulder and uh it’s just going to help you grow even more so just a little tip to go the extra mile and even if it’s helping 1% over a longer period of time that’s going to build up and uh it’s going to be noticeable after after a while [Music] [Music] so okay [Music] ah okay so what makes this a shoulder movement is that you’re using your shoulders when you’re doing the movement and it does look like a pull movement where you could mistakenly see it as a back workout just because when you think of pull you tend to think of back but with this you’re pulling using your your shoulders so therefore the target muscle group is your shoulders and the best way to do this you don’t want to pull straight up close to your body you want to leave the weight just probably good like 6 in from your chest when you’re up to the top so you want to keep it in front of you and you know if you bring it too close you could risk some sort of injury uh shoulder imp pigment whatever you can mess yourself up a little bit but take your time going into this start with a lightweight work your way up to you know moderately heavy getting to heavy and if you’re starting to do this like if this is the first time you’re ever trying this just keep it light the whole time no need to push it just go higher reps more sets and just get that good contraction because you can easily get injured with this and it’s not like a staple movement but something that I do really like and I feel like my shoulders have been responding to it and when I get to the top there I feel the squeeze right where the cap is in my shoulder so like the very top part of and you know that’s something I need to build that big like side delt where it’s just like that’s what gives you that that Boulder look that Boulder shoulder look so this is a it’s definitely a staple for me come on [Music] [Music] okay [Music] [Music] okay I’m not even too sure what they call all this but I know typical rear Del movement is some sort of rear Del fly but this is like a overhead down fly so I don’t even know what it is but it seems to work really good I really like it I feel a really good squeeze and just overall Connection in my shoulders at least my rear delts and you know something that I picked up was that on your first rear D movement if you’re having trouble connecting with them I’m not sure if you noticed it but the last few reps there I held the contraction and I did that towards the end of the movement rather rather than the beginning because I already felt my rear delts moving and you know that connection was being established but when you squeeze it and hold it towards the end just makes that connection that much stronger so going going into my next set I’m really going to be able to feel the weight and I’ll be able to do a little bit more I dropped down to I think it’s the lightest thing can go which is like 30 on this and you know there there’s no need for any go with your ad dels you can use a very small amount of weight and you can get a lot out of uh that weight so you know I almost think the less the better for this cuz you don’t even want to risk injury but you know doing a doing letter weight here going to move it up a little bit probably you know just another plate and uh just going to crank out as many as I can really just going for like am wrap here not any any set structure of amount of reps or sets just going so I can’t [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [ __ ] [Music] ah [Music] so I used to hate dumbbell shoulder press until I actually learned how to do it so it didn’t hurt when I was doing the movement and the biggest thing that I was messed up on was I always thought you know sit in a 90° seat just like straight up and down and just press the weight from your sides up to to the ceiling but I think this this bench that I’m at now it’s at a 60° incline not a full 90 so it’s not like vertical like this it’s more like this and instead of pressing straight out to the side where my arms are completely to the side of me I’m up in front probably about not just a 45 probably like a 30ish little bit uh more in front of my body than to the sides so I just noticed that keeping everything in front the incline of the bench everything like that put together it just makes me feel the the weight in my shoulders a lot more haven’t really been getting any neck pain or shoulder pain or anything cuz that’s one thing that I noticed a lot I’ll kind of like I’ll would either tweak something in my neck or pull something like my upper back just because I was so fixed on keeping that like very restricted um and uncomfortable range of motion throughout the entire movement and like it just if your body doesn’t move a certain way you can’t make it move a certain way for a movement it’s just not going to work out you’re going to hurt yourself so once I figured out that you know I was supposed to do this a different way start feeling a lot better I usually just jump on do something like toss around a few times get a nice nice flow with the movement and then I move up this is probably something I’m going to go the heaviest on today just did 100s I don’t know the most I ever done on this was 120 and I’m like there’s no there’s no chance I’m hitting that today but I’m hoping I’ll see what 110 feels like and then reassess from there if it feels light might go up this has I usually gauge most of my movements like that where if I hit my cap my cap weight for like a heavy rep or a heavy set and I’m easily going past 8 to 10 and I’ll just move the weight up and uh you know I’ll keep going until I fall between that 8 to 10 rep range so you know shoulder presses I feel like it’s not it’s not something you need to go heavy on but it definitely feels really [Music] good [Music] he okay all righty capping off shoulder day with a little super set well not a little super set it’s actually pretty bad but you know bad is good in this uh in this term so doing some side laterals I know we did them in the beginning but you’re going to do laterals into front raises and it’s going to be sets of 10 where you’re doing lateral raise front raise FL race front race so in total you’re doing four four sets in one and you know the purpose of that you just you’re at the end of the workout you want to just completely tax your muscle you know I’m not doing anything after this I might do like a little bit of biceps or something but in terms of the video this is the uh the top five shoulder workouts and this is definitely one of the best ones um you know I don’t want to leave anything in the tank here so this is one of those workouts just to uh completely fry the system and you know probably try to get three total sets here so three rounds of that and I know by the end it’s going to be burning a lot so you know you want to leave the gym with a pump and this is the way to get it [Music] no no [Music] so probably the biggest thing with shoulders is that if you don’t feel the muscle working it’s probably not working and most likely you’re just TOS tossing the weight around and you know to grow you have to have a good connection you have to be able to focus on the muscle and uh just overall you got to feel it so you know those are the top five things that I’m doing to grow my shoulders I know I still have tiny shoulders but they’re a lot better than what they were U and we’re still working at it still coming in here grinding every week trying to get bigger shoulders and uh you know bro biggest thing is just time you know you can go into the gym and you cannot see progress for like 6 months but after a year when you look at comparison photos from the day you started to a year later I’m sure there’s going to be a huge difference so have you ever discouraged with that not seeing immediate progress that’s what the gym is you know it’s a commitment you’re not going to see anything overnight but um you got to stick with it but thank you guys for watching thank you for tuning in thank you for liking and commenting on the videos you haven’t already I really appreciate it but let me know any feedback on this video if you like it let me know you like it if you don’t like it let me know too but thank you guys and I will see you in the next [Music] one
