Home Strength Training Exercises : Anterior Deltoid Lift Exercise

[101Jman]

So up and THEN down

[ThePrototype27602]

Great exercise man! I'm guessing it's very important not to overload on the weight for this one.

[hoppuss44]

I thought this trained the traps? 

[MrTonnell]

straight up and down straigh up and down come on dude mr issa. lol

[Georgeqaws]

I think he is going a little fast

[TainaFAVlogs]

ive never bent the elbows now i feel so dumb

[goonerNik]

bender dumbbells...

[SaltySangster]

@eggnoy especially if you have disgustingly long amrs like me.

[ronnyrizat]

i like how the subtitles included him saying "boom"

[tyciol]

The name and description for the video do not match the video. He is not doing anterior lifts, anterior is the front, not the side. That's called middle, medial, or lateral.

[COOPZILON]

@eggnoy they should all be uncomfortable... even with good form, weight training is meant to challenge your muscles.

[humudu]

@COOPZILON but deltoid is the worst!

[bpriester1]

for my delts I do lateral raises, arnold press, and shoulder press and the next day MY DELTS DON'T HAVE THE POST WORKOUT PAIN AT ALL!!! why is that?! it's really frustrating

[LoiacanoA87]

Basically, try not to take arms no higher than shoulder height. Once you start to take your arms higher than shoulder height, the trapezius muscle group gets emphasized more than the deltoid. I also want to mention that when doing this exercise you want to start with the dumbbells from the thighs and not from the dumbbells touching.

[GixxxerKim]

You sure taking it up to ear height isn't TOO high? I heard, read, and saw results from long time builders lifting past their power points and injuring the joint by going past parallel to the ground.

[n3rdbear]

Of all the muscle workouts, deltoid lifts is the hardest of all for a beginner since full extension of deltoids are rarely done in everyday activities.

[37uber]

It's a very nice looking muscle :)

[seedzer]

yo can any you guys tell you all muscle , what exercise is best with dumbbells , what supplements are good,

[ikenthelpbutwait]

LOL, I thought my phone was ringing too. Lowered the volume and everything, haha!

[Junije1]

@ikenthelpbutwait OMG me too rofl, I also thought my phone was ringing....

[ShaneT87]

i thought my phone was ringing

[UCzDwella201]

for real...i lowered the volume on my computer to see lmao

[absoluteanatomy1]

lmao me as well.. good vid

[justkillen07]

@ShaneT87 i dont get it? lol

[itwaslikethatalready]

@ShaneT87 haha same here

[kingconnor69]

This is a bad exercise in general... i fucked my rotator cuff doing this.. and my form was perfect. Dumbell presses will work the anterior delt much better that this anyway... this puts too much stress on my joints.

[blinkvirus]

If you injured yourself you obviously didnt have perfect form. Either that or you were using a weight too heavy. Stress on joints? Bend your shoulders more and raise it to shoulder height, not ear height, tbh i frowned when the video said ear height.

[natiive]

@kingconnor69 dont say this is a bad exercise in general and scare potential users away from it cause your weak as fuck fool. its good to work out all your muscles definitly try this workout.

[a4d2d0]

@kingconnor69 True That!!

This exercise tore my rotator cuff and put me out of commision for almost a whole basketball season not to mention two tournaments, i couldnt train my upperbody for 3 months

[SquirtTribePride]

The anterior deltoid is the front deltoid.

The exercise you are showing is called a lateral raise, not an anterior deltoid lift.

Front raises and any overhead pressing primarily work the anterior deltoid

Lateral Raises primarily work the medial deltoid

Reverse flyes primarily hit the rear(posterior) deltoids.

[March6371]

Good comment...this vid wasn't anterior work.

[CtrlAltDie]

I normally do about 3 sets of 20 reps using 4 kilograms when I do this exercise. It's actually better if you combine this with front dumbbell raises and shoulder presses without resting.

[GoldenoSkyo]

the ideal, how many for one set ?

[Cherrypersonee]

As Heavy As Possible with good form, If you are able to go more than 8, your not doing enough weight .

[STIHLable]

i find that doing handstand pushups against a wall give the deltoids a good all round workout handy if you havn't got dumbbells aswell

[AKBeazBoi]

ok i must be fucking up my insides. Im very very skinny but i use 5 kg dumbells 4 this

[benjsy]

i can do this with about 7-8?not sure

[WorldSuperLegend]

Hello everyone. I only weigh 70kg and am pretty new to this. How heavier weights should I could using?

[tmwilson06]

I weigh 68.5, I started on 2kg weights for this, but recently moved up to 3kg to get a bit more work out of it... Im no guru though, just started a few months ago

[dyceyboy91]

i weigh 73kg and i  was doing 4 sets of 10 at 12kg lol your a bitch

[tmwilson06]

lol ur a noob

do as you want, im seeing results so the weight doesnt matter.

typical youtube user fucktard...

[VRSlashGnR]

It depends on your goals. If you want to gain muscle and therefore weight, I do 3 sets of 6 to eight reps. The weight should be light enough that you can complete the motion correctly, but heavy enough that you struggle to get past 8 reps. If you can do 8 reps without too much difficulty increase the weight by about 2.5kg until you struggle to make it past 6.

[bakedpeachpie]

someone answer the boody phone!

[TheSab1]

thanx rod!! he is really a good demonstrator :)

[knowpain00]

I've got a question for for you guys,

I combine a bicep workout and then a deltoid/shoulder workout afterwards.....Am I taking away from either workout....I sure hope not...

But I do need some opinions.!

Thanks Guys..

[djpristy]

you wouldn't be taking anything away from any of the workouts. If anything you'd be doing better for your self :)

[ollieincountry]

i dont like doing my triceps :(

[ThisEarth]

Word.

[dhakagod]

thank you

[TokyoEnglishClub]

thanks for the great video!

[themanwithoutfear7]

how many kg dumbbell i should use if i do this exercise ??

[Cornio1047]

depends on your aim and what you can lift. dont use somthing too heavy, aim for 15 reps on a warm up and perhaps 12 on the 2nd set then till failure on the 3rd or 4th, but increase the weight gradually, this is all about form. happy training!

[Milkman23]

unless you want results. Getting gains is about lifting above average weight to failure and then do it again. Mix up your exercise...the reps...the count(1sec up, 5down) and the angle so it works on a different section. doing 10-12 reps is bullshit...i play college bball and thats the first thing they told me when i started working out there. Mix up your workout...or you will plateau...meaning you'll stop gaining mass. Never let your muscle get used to a workout, always make it tough

[themanwithoutfear7]

I only curl 7lb for this exercise cause i don't want take risk injure my shoulder..um pardon me i don't get it how do you mix up you exercise ,you mean try do different curl ??

[Milkman23]

mixing it up just means not doing the same monotonous movement over and over. Mix up the tempo, do pyramids, but most importantly do a different workout specific to that muscle group. So instead of using dumbells maybe use a resistance band or your own body weight.

[themanwithoutfear7]

alright i see,um how do you wok out your forearm ?

[Milkman23]

you dont have to really, just from holding the weights when doing arms will make your forearms and hands stronger. You can also take a dumbell and curl your wrist with it.

[ThisEarth]

It's not entirely true. Since you gain mass by working the muscle with more weight. You stop gaining mass when you stop putting on more weight to train with. You'll reach that point eventually where you're gaining alot less and then not even mixing it up will change that, unless you dedicate yourself to just working out and going an a strict diet with supplements. But then that's bodybuilding and not regular workout.

[Milkman23]

yea but once you get to a certain build you stop and then tone. Thats when you start doing the 3 sets of 10-12. Gotta get the size first. I don't plan on ever being like Arnold. I know what my goal is and where i need to get to. I want to be able to dunk still and be athletic. Not so bulky that my jumpshot is fucked lol

[ThisEarth]

Yeah I get you. I agree with that =)

[omega123999]
