1
In this video, I'm showing you my top three shoulder exercises for round 3D delts.
2
One exercise each for the front, side, and rear heads.
3
And for some extra scientific credibility, I'm bringing in exercise scientist Dr. Mike Isretel, who's gonna share his top three as well.
4
Up first, front delts.
5
Now, a very common mistake here is actually giving the front
6
delts too much volume since they already get a lot of stimulation from any chest work in your program.
7
three times the side delt size as non lifters.
8
So they often are overemphasized.
9
Would you agree with that?
10
Like side and rear are more important from a bodybuilding standpoint?
11
I take that even more to an extreme perspective.
12
I agree with that so much.
13
I go overboard and I say rear delt training is overrated as well.
14
If you're training your back properly, your rear delts should be very well developed.
15
You can just pour a lot of volume into the side delts.
16
And also visually, if you ever see someone who has big shoulders and you look at them, you're like, oh, those delts are really big.
17
Almost in every case, it's the side delts that are actually very big.
18
And the rear delts of course construct the rest of it the front delts matter
19
but it's side belts that really counts
20
so i think side belt training should be 70 to 90 percent of delt training wow
21
so while the side delts are clearly the most important the other two heads still complete the 3d look
22
so let's start with the anterior
23
or front head my number one exercise here is a machine shoulder press
24
and that's simply because being seated increases stability
25
which will ensure virtually all the tension is being directed to the shoulders where you want it
26
and secondly most people can dropping the weight or breaking technique.
27
And I like this Panada machine in particular, because it allows for a huge range of motion and a big stretch on the front delts and the bottom.
28
So one thing I noticed training with Mike on his channel as well,
29
he really, really emphasizes controlled technique and a deep stretch and also in the stretch position
30
He tends to do a lot of pausing, which can be very humbling in terms of the amount of weight that you use.
31
So that's something I actually don't typically do.
32
I'm a little bit more of like a constant tension guy most of the time.
33
So that's been really cool.
34
I feel like I'll continue implementing some of that in my training.
35
Oh, and another thing I like about this machine is that it's unilateral, meaning each shoulder is forced to work individually, which can be great for fixing any left to right shoulder imbalances.
36
That feels really good.
37
Doesn't it?
38
Yeah.
39
See?
40
Yeah.
41
A panada.
42
Is that okay to say?
43
10 reps, and of course any decent shoulder press machine will get the job done.
44
And if you don't have access to one, you can get a very similar effect with a seated dumbbell shoulder press, which is also unilateral and forces each shoulder to work individually.
45
Okay, so Dr. Mike's number one pick for the front delts is an easy bar front raise, and he gave two reasons why.
46
One of the reasons is that it gives a ton of motion to the front delts, a huge range of motion there, and also because it is an isolation exercise.
47
And it's pretty rare to see for front belts.
48
Most people choose a compound press, which is cool and all, but if your ticep volume is where it is, if your pecs are sore, if your shoulder joints are upset with you because you've been doing a lot of pressing.
49
Maybe the overhead press is not in the cards.
50
If I wanted the maximum effect of something like this, I would actually do it on a free -motion machine, so that I could move my hand behind the plane of my body and get a huge stretch to the front belt.
51
But a lot of people don't have access to a machine like that, and this is a fine alternative exercise.
52
It's a similar thing.
53
So the cues here is that you want to keep your chest up.
54
cave your chest, you're not stretching your frontels as much what you want to
55
do is essentially it's like a curl except you never bend your elbows.
56
So it just comes up all the way.
57
Nice and high and then you milk the eccentric, and it's going to be hardest here.
58
all the way down, chest up at the bottom.
59
Goodbye, front belts.
60
Do you think it's dangerous to go beyond this point here?
61
I think there's never been a reason to suspect that if you know anatomy.
62
Things that are causing joint pain tend to be not so great for the joints.
63
But if you can do this without any joint pain, I mean listen, if there is something from a cupboard you want that's up there, Or you're like, "Well, I would get it,
64
but I don't want to be crippled for life." That's not the case.
65
I think it's totally fine.
66
And Mike explained that for these, he uses relatively higher reps in the 10 -20 range, with a more explosive positive and a slow and controlled 4 -5 second negative,
67
especially maintaining control at the midpoint where tension is the highest.
68
Finish resisting.
69
Oh, wow.
70
Very nice.
71
Doesn't take a lot.
72
Man, I'll say this: if people are cutting out this part, they're missing out on a lot.
73
I would say the most effective part of this movement, generally there are some nuances here, is from 45 degrees to 135 degrees, ear to ear.
74
So I can't lie, this is like the craziest front L pump I think I've had.
75
Possibly ever.
76
Okay, so with front delts out of the way, we're hitting the most important head for 3D delts: the side delts.
77
So I'm gonna let you go first for side delts.
78
What would be your number one?
79
There are many number ones.
80
You're my number one.
81
What's the number one number one?
82
Well, an exercise that I think is really top tier is what I call the super -ROM lateral, super -Ranger motion lateral.
83
Exactly like a lateral race, just keep going.
84
Okay.
85
And at any point do I do this or this?
86
No, just normal?
87
Okay.
88
So for me this feels natural to kind of thumbs up it a little bit.
89
Sure.
90
Is that okay?
91
Thumbs up it as little as possible on the way up.
92
Okay.
93
But try to keep your pinkies up, but if you run into stuff where it feels weird, you can thumbs up naturally.
94
Doesn't feel weird.
95
So you like this better?
96
Yes.
97
Okay.
98
Because then it activates the side delt.
99
Yeah.
100
Yeah, for sure.
101
And let me just explain that very briefly.
102
If I thumb up it, you can see that the resistance path is in line with the front delt fibers.
103
If I do this, Now the resistance is in line with the side delt fibers.
104
If you feel pain doing this, then consider going thumbs up.
105
It might be better.
106
- Sure.
107
- But in my case, this feels great.
108
- Great, I love it.
109
- So why not?
110
Mike recommends doing these for moderate to higher reps in the 10 to 20 range, and once again, really emphasizes good control on the negative on each and every rep.
111
Alright, so my number one side delt exercise is a cross body cable Y -raise.
112
Most people when they do lateral raises go directly out to the side.
113
There's nothing wrong with that.
114
The main reason I like these is the stretch you get here.
115
If you were going to stretch your side delt, you wouldn't just hold it here.
116
You're not getting a ton of stretch here.
117
If you pull it across your body, now you have more stretch on the Also, most people think of the shoulders as having three distinct heads, the front, side, and rear,
118
but anatomy research shows there are more like seven deltoid compartments, each having unique muscle fibers that fan out in slightly different directions.
119
So hitting the delts from slightly different angles is more likely to make sure that all the fibers get hit evenly.
120
And here's how I do that.
121
I'm positioned my torso so that I feel that stretch come in on my side delt, and then I'll sweep the weight out. In back?
122
Almost as if drawing and flicking a sword.
123
So we feel the nice stretch. And then we're...
124
out and back.
125
Beautiful control Jeff, that's awesome.
126
Oh, okay.
127
Nice.
128
Next, let's take a look at our top two exercises for the posterior head.
129
Mike's number one pick here is a Super Rom reverse cable fly.
130
I've actually never done them the way he coaches them, so I picked up on some really great cues.
131
A couple of really important cues here.
132
First, you want to go past your hand connection.
133
Yep, just like that.
134
People say, "Well, wouldn't that create asymmetries?" Totally.
135
But you just, every other set, What you're gonna do is you're gonna switch your hands which one goes up the bottom.
136
And a big thing is you want generally to keep your elbows locked out
137
so that you can make sure it's all real delts.
138
You will not be able to use as much load that way, but minimizing the load while maximizing muscle involvement is a really good thing.
139
And here's a big one for the back jump.
140
Go ahead and pull all the way back.
141
Yes!
142
And here, we get a peak contraction to the muscle.
143
You can feel the burn accumulating while you do it.
144
And then slowly peel that muscle out on the way back.
145
So it's a really good thing to really crunch at the top.
146
it won't cost you a ton of reps because it's easy there, but you'll connect to that rear delt.
147
Typically I would stop about here probably.
148
But now I'm going to here?
149
Yeah.
150
And that extra bit Yeah makes it way harder.
151
Here's the best part.
152
They actually start to accumulate metabolites.
153
They hurt more and more in that position.
154
You take that pain, and you go, okay, I know exactly where my rear adults are, because they hurt there, and I slowly arc out and it's madness
155
and I hate it and then stretches like crazy and then the whole thing starts again.
156
That's right.
157
And my top pick for the rear delts is the reverse pec deck and honestly, Dr. Mike gave me the single best cue I've ever heard for this exercise.
158
Here the cue will massively reduce how much you're lifting, but will hit that target muscle better.
159
For a good real delt training, you want to reach forward really far.
160
Also, you'll notice it pre -stretches the rear delts.
161
You're not pulling.
162
You're arcing out to try to paintbrush as far of a distance as you possibly can.
163
Punch forward.
164
Yes.
165
And then sweep out.
166
Paintbrush out as much as you can.
167
It's like if you imagine that there is like you're standing on top of a pile of money
168
and there's a camera measuring, you get to keep all of the money you do this with your hands.
169
Yes!
170
Let's go.
171
And I'm just gonna show my last two reps here
172
and notice that at no point do I allow myself to pull my arms in.
173
I'm sweeping my arms out and painting as much of the floor as I can on each and every rep.
174
And then as if another, as if you're gonna do another one.
175
One thing since I've been training with Mike a little bit
176
that I've heard you say quite a bit is as if you're gonna do another.
177
I really like that cue because it forces you to be intentional with that last negative.
178
Do it as if you're gonna do another one so you're controlling, controlling, controlling pause, Now you're done.
179
And then let go.
180
And that last negative
181
may be one of the most muscle growth promoting portions of any rep you will ever do in any set.
182
So why skip that?
183
A lot of guys go all the way up and then go, "Ugh !" And it's like, "Oh, you went so so good !" So close. So close. So close.
184
There are tons of off -camera analogies to make,
185
but I know you run a nice wholesome channel and I will just shut up. Who are you?
186
Are you the powered by ice cream fella?
187
That's me, you're an old fan.
188
Again, you don't have to go hard or anything like that, but just just so we have some b -roll.
189
then I have to go home.
190
- 'Cause like you're kind of, You're kind of locked into something.
191
Just do what the machine says.
192
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
193
I used to do a lot of standing barbell overhead pressing.
194
Yeah, I know.
195
And I got to a...
196
I follow you.
197
A lot of straight...
198
Oh, thanks.
199
Is that guy actually Thor?
200
We're on a desert island.
201
with all these machines.
202
We had to do a front delt exercise.
203
What one do you pick?
204
Highly equipped desert island.
205
So if you're stopping from here to here, It's like what this whole other part there.
206
It's like eating half a slice of pizza and throwing the other half away.
207
That's a common comment.
208
Won't it hit your junk on the way down?
209
Like, yes, if you're wildly uncoordinated, and you deserve to have a junk destroyer.
210
One more.
211
Yeah, do one from the rear.
212
- Oh, on the way down is the big one.
213
OK, I'm going to get the sleeves up.
214
Oh shit.
215
Yeah, mine.
216
Oh shit, you see that?
217
I changed my mind.
218
Slow, right away slow.
219
Slow, and then slow.
220
Slow, slow.
221
flow.
222
I want to give a big thank you to Mike.
223
His channel is called Renaissance Periodization.
224
He does all kinds of videos exactly like this.
225
It's just really cool tips and cues and tweaks that I don't think you'll hear on any other channel.
226
Also want to give a quick shout out to the gym, Pure Muscle and Fitness.
227
They let us film here, they even turned the music down for us, so I really appreciate that.
228
Thank you guys so much for watching.
229
Don't forget to leave us a thumbs up if you enjoyed it
230
and I'll see you guys all here in the next video.
231
Thank you.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
