[rufmarine]

Just subscribed, getting back into the gym after reenlisting in the Army, your workouts are great, thanks for the videos.

[MrCranberry777]

dinosaur cannonball delt-snatch grip behind the neck push press-5x5,push jerks or split jerks[a favorite of the olympic gold medalist weightlifter JOHN DAVIS.]-5x5.favorite capping exercise-wide grip upright rows to the nipple level of the chest.these are a great alternative to standard laterals and presses.your doing great.train hard and good luck.

[MrYcontrol]

Rear delts cables is a killer exercise! i really enjoy it!! thanks for the videos!

[leemhayward]

@MrYcontrol

I agree, cables work great for shoulder isolation work. Keeps the tension on the muscles through the entire range of motion.

[ltkmessi]

nice, but i prefer a little more negative motion in my sets

[locomotivehumur]

dude im so subsricing to your channel. you got some great advice!. Respect!!..will be coming back for all your videos.!!

[leemhayward]

@locomotivehumur

Cool, glad you enjoy the videos!

[krazmex09]

WHICH ONE IS BETTER TO MAKE SHOULDER DELTS BIGGER?? THIS ONE OR THE COMPLETE SHOULDER WORKOUT?? JUST WONDERING..

[leemhayward]

@krazmex09

You can use both workouts. Cycle back and forth using one routine for about 4 weeks, then switch to the other for 4 weeks.

[MaxCheesy]

When I do side lateral raises my shoulder make a cracking noise and it hurts a little. What should I do I'm so skinny!

[leemhayward]

@MaxCheesy

Try doing another shoulder exercise instead. There are various machines that simulate the side lateral movement. You can also try using cables or rubber fitness bands. Bottom line not every exercise works for every body. Experiment and find variations that you can perform pain free.

[MagicianAsad]

Need video with dumbbells, my gym does not have equipment

[WoundedS0ldier]

@MagicianAsad you sir, need a new gym then.

[sidhartha1]

[jditmer0]

eye twitch at 6:50

[magma9999]

When I do side delts (2nd exercise) It doesnt work my delts, but my traps and it kinda hurt.. too much wait or bad form? Even when I do some benchpress my traps hurt.

[leemhayward]

@magma9999

You may have pulled or strained a muscle in your traps and that's why you feel them hurting. Is this just recently or has it always been like this?

[magma9999]

@leemhayward It always been like this, maybe it's just the way I stretch my muscles when I lift the weights. *Sorry for bad english I'm french. And thanks for the replay though!

[The19super19]

OMG who else noticed Kings of Leon - Radioactive ?

[KebabTitan]

I wish my gym played white wedding when I trained

[ankit382]

wouldn't one rear delt be worked more because you're doing facepulls after right after you isolate the rear delt

[leemhayward]

@ankit382

You can switch the sides you start with for each workout if you like.

[GTLGymTokeLaid]

LEes a beast

[perpetualdystopia]

Haha, Lee, you a funny guy. Thank you for wonderful workout vids. I will use this in place of my normal shoulder routine.

[Enanurri]

I like your workouts, you know about this.

[tokah01]

Im tryin this set today..ill let you know how it works for me..thanks for the tips

[M1thotyn]

No. The simple choice is to just get some dog trimmers and shave that stuff off.

[elhero2012]

Hellllyeaaaa! Goodwork yo! Can't wait for the next video

[ddupizz]

Nice music in your gym, you got white wedding and everything!

[CTHULHUCALL]

dude they play soundgardens spoonman every single day at my gym too

[valentedante]

sick shoulders dude, bouta change up my shoulder workouts

[InferiorThanYou]

Lee, what does your typical training regimen look like? By that I mean how often are you training? Do you do a split like 2 days on one day off, 5 days a week, 2 days off, or what?

[leemhayward]

@InferiorThanYou

I workout 4 days per week. Usually 2 days on, 1 day off.

[MrPivot911]

How you get rid of man tits?

[leemhayward]

@MrPivot911

Man-boobs are excess fat. So if you lose bodyfat you'll also reduce your "man-boobs". I've got a good fat loss program called: "Extreme Fat Loss" that's available on my website LeeHayward . com/dvd

[RobRobJuice]

IT'S JACK BLACK

[oliver1996ish]

cheers for that, really helped :)

[DannyBriggs18]

Spoonman :) 4:23 - 6:02

[damthatriver09]

Man, I'd hate to look that buff even if I'm the strongest because you'd just scare everyone away.

[AMPepin1992]

Rear delt, also known as the "Bitch slap muscle" :p

[leetreapers300]

you kinda didnt need to use both sides of the cable machine. you could just turned around and shown the camera you rear delt in motion. im just saying bc i work out in a pretty busy gym and often have to share the machine lol

[eddie4ya2000]

I had totally forgotten facepulls... thank you, I'll be adding some of these to my workouts. I have great front and mid delts but my rear delts and upper back are seriously lacking...

[tony22990]

dude u are a tank! good job:)

[TheMadFedje]

haird core indeed.

[TheZoh43]

pulled out a few pretty decent excercises there. +added to my workout :p

[arjay2002ph]

i do handstand push ups.

[usedfornothing1]

instant thumbs up when i heard soundgarden at 4:20 =) my gym has shitty music =(

[gamewizer12]

i dont know why, but whenever i look at you, i am reminded of soap mactavish from COD4

[Belch64]

??? What the heck your gym plays rock and roll??? Mine plays pop and country -_- Anyway lee i watch your videos all the time and you are by far the most knowledgeable.

[gumdrop766]

I don't want to fit through doors. 

[faizan8710]

i have shoulder bones sticking out wht should i do?i am working out but no use

[leemhayward]

@faizan8710

You just need to focus on getting bigger and stronger all over. (i.e. you need to pack some meat on your bones :-)

I've got a good program that can help you with this called 21-Day Fast Mass Building that's available at: 21dayfastmassbuilding. com

[w4lyfb]

@faizan8710 I think you gotta eat more

[MasSKiLLiNN]

Hey Lee...Aren't Your Set Times Pretty Quick (Average 20 Sec)? I Have Always Been Taught T.U.T. In Training (40+Sec Sets) And Have Received Awesome Gains.....I Use To Train Like You, And The Gains...Not So Much. Care To Explain? Peace Brah!

[leemhayward]

@MasSKiLLiNN

The rest times are edited out of the video to save time. It would be kind of pointless for me to film 1-2 minutes of rest time between each set. The video would be an hour long if I did that :-)

[JacksonMichaelBAD]

@leemhayward

i weigh 140 and im 5'6, im an ectomorph so i calculated my calorie needs and it says 3000.....so im suppose to eat 500 calories a meal? that sounds so much

[leemhayward]

@JacksonMichaelBAD

Trust me, eating 500 calories per meal is NOT much at all. A lot of bodybuilders will regular eat upwards of 1000 calories per meal when in a mass building phase. Just pace yourself and work on gradually increasing your food intake overtime.

[JacksonMichaelBAD]

@leemhayward

idk how u do it lee! but ok thanks but plz...does that sound right?? ectomorh....3000 cal...500 for 6 meals a day...?

[leemhayward]

@JacksonMichaelBAD

It depends on your body size. A good rule of thumb is to strive to work up to eating 20 calories per pound of bodyweight when in a mass building phase. Good nutrient ratios to go by are 30% protein, 50% carbs, and 20% fat.

[leemhayward]

@MasSKiLLiNN

There are numerous variables that you can change with your training. If you are stuck at a plateau with your current routine, then change it up. And your rep speed is just 1 variable that you can change.

[M424Filmcast]

It looks to me like you prefer quicker, more explosive reps. A trainer at my gym told me to use light weights and go slowwwww. I am more inclined to believe that the trainers advice is wrong. Advice?

[leemhayward]

@M424Filmcast

When starting out you should always use "slow" reps to learn the exercises, etc. But as you get more advanced you can speed up the reps and use more explosive lifting technique.

[M424Filmcast]

@leemhayward Thanks Lee. I have been training for some time, but the trainer says that you should always go really slow and do less reps with light weights to gain size. After watching your vids, and others, I have not seen any of the sizable guys doing really slow reps. That's why I finally asked. I am trying to bulk up a bit. Thanks again.

[Dorian01887]

@M424Filmcast Lower reps heavier sets are just one of the keys to building mass. Doing slower reps is not a bad thing however better worded controlled negative's,,,understand? There are 3 phases to strength. The positive which the weakest of the phases of lifting and is the actual lifting of the weights, then there is the static phase, which is the holding of the weight between the positive and negative phase, then there is the negative. The negative movement is the most important part of a rep

[myguygjftftyfgi]

hey lee is it normal that my left shoulder looks a little wider but my right is stronger:P?? thanks

[leemhayward]

@myguygjftftyfgi

Yeah, it's normal. Everyone has some differences between their left and right sides. While we do our best to even things out, it's virtually impossible to be perfectly symmetrical.

[lolaroflmao]

"its your friendly bodybuilding neighbourhood Lee Haywood here"

haha Lee is so big he is a whole suburb!

[thunder69sm]

Dude you vids are cool and funny. New sub:)

[AshtonMontgomery]

hey Lee, why wont my pecs ever get cut? i had my body fat % down to about 7, and still no line under? been lifting for a year, and can hit 275 once on bench, i have big pecs but i got no def under? ever! plus weneveri gain fat it seems to go there too....

[leemhayward]

@AshtonMontgomery

If you can't see definition in your chest chances are you still have more fat to lose. Bodyfat testers can be misleading, some will give you higher or lower readings then you actually are. Just go by the mirror, not what the bodyfat tester says. If you still look like you have excess bodyfat to lose, then you do :-)

[1kingzai]

Why do you have to bend you back?

[morominaolenmina]

I Didint know that Steve-o is so ripped on muscle..

[ChaoticNuke]

is this a natural or just ifbb what are you

[dav1dwi1s0n]

how do you target the pec delt tie in area?

[kromed01]

7 Peole are able to walk through that door without going sideways. Thanks great video. To be honest with you I am not using it to bulk up but to improve my swimming as I really need to work on my shoulders!

[woo2fly18]

canadian accenttt go back to canada!!!

[MrMillionare777]

@woo2fly18 hillbilly coment ,go back to a SOUTH!!!

[b3astable]

i thinj hes great to lrearn from helped me in my training i think ur great thanks for putting videos up

[Unicron6]

Anyone ever tell you, you look like the joker when lifting? Not an insult, just an observation really.

[jacobwalters85]

You must be Canadian. I only can tell because I have watched a bunch of Trailer Park Boys...lol

[leemhayward]

@Glowcarlsbad619

I'm just over 5'6 tall.

[Orvellrednbacer]

@leemhayward I'm 6'4.

[yloveyl]

@leemhayward er sorry but I am too skinny and cant weigh heavy weight.

but someone told me that weigh heavy weight can makes you get bigger.

I keep weiging and still stuck at 10lbs only... I dunno why I eat a lot . drink protein shake

[leemhayward]

@yloveyl

I suggest you go to my main channel page, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and download a copy of my FREE Bodybuilding Quick Start Kit. This contains free e-books about training, nutrition, and a 10 part video lesson course that will help you get started on the right track to building muscle and gaining weight.

[yloveyl]

@leemhayward thanks, I clicked

[swa1ny]

Seriously your gym plays some awesome tunes.

[oviraptorid]

[leemhayward]

@oviraptorid

East Coast, this video was shot at Global Gym in St. John's.

[dimpledave123]

it safe for me to do these day after of working my shoulders ?

[leemhayward]

@dimpledave123

This is a shoulder workout. You would do this as your shoulder workout.

[robertdeuce]

u a newfie?

[leemhayward]

@robertdeuce

Yes Bye!

[argentotenebre]

@leemhayward I kind of figured that with the K-Rock banner in the background of the gym

[41jeromesky]

is  it good to have 8 exercises for shoulder instead of 4 exercise?

[raulmendezgarcia]

lol good response about the hat Lee. But hey if I go ahead and do these shoulder workouts & put it into my weekly training...these excersizes for shoulders should be enough correct? & how many sets for each?

[msmithstud]

i prefer the deltoid machine at 4.00. over free weights. 

[CausingKaosHd]

how can you tell what part of your weight is muscle and not muscle? daily because my weight has been hoping around during the day from 128.5 top 129.0 to 130.5? and im a pretty skinny guy im 5'7

[leemhayward]

@CausingKaosHd

You need to get a bodyfat tester. This way you can see how much bodyfat you have and then calculate out your lean mass and fat mass.

[Jeudaos]

do you recommend taking any sort of 'natural' supplement at all or just straight lifting. I'm a lean guy and i'm trying to build mass muscle. its hard in a wheelchair

[leemhayward]

@Jeudaos

I've got a full video series on bodybuilding supplements. Just go to my main channel and look through my playlists.

[rippawallet]

lol check the face before hes about to go

[nicoykolokoy]

are you canadian?

[vivmaidenised]

actually my gym dose't have all those advanced workout machine so can I do that 2nd last workout with dumbells ?????

[leemhayward]

@vivmaidenised

Yes, you can use free weights instead for these exercises.

[vivmaidenised]

@leemhayward thanks man..your workouts videos are really helpful..

[sspainhour15]

You winked at me at 6:50 ;) ooooh lee

[kpsuk]

Cheers for that demo Lee, I've never really been able to see a decent routine for your rear delts and haven't really seen anyone at the gym doing them copy.

The only exercise I thought of was a Lying Rear Delt Raises, but at 6'5" the bench was a little too small and movement limited.

These exercises look real good, I'll give them a whirl the next time I'm down the gym.

[katasochin]

lol i wish my gym played soundgarden!

[QuigglyQ]

sweet workout! what is your height and weight in this vid? jw thanks!

[leemhayward]

@QuigglyQ

I'm 5'6 tall and about 220 pounds.

[burning1er]

@leemhayward 5'6 and i bet NO ONE calls you small. Fuckin diesel buddy. total opposite as me, 6'5 205haha. 

[DrinGONatoR]

Curve back is slap you if I met you busta ass.

[vsallbutme]

steeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv­vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvoooooooo­ooooooooooooo

[unlockthepower]

Hi Lee, thanks for all the videos! Do you use Test and GH? What sort of cycles do you run? thanks.

[leemhayward]

@unlockthepower

I don't use either and I don't recommend them.

[unlockthepower]

@leemhayward Thanks for the reply.

[mariops2]

@leemhayward

Yes you do.. but you just won't admit it...like all bodybuilders do them...

[FeliCianoTubeChannel]

Are you from Canada? :) And i love your videos. Where can i find tips about makeing my own workout program for a week?

[cratos1024]

Your the best Lee!

Hey Lee, would i obtain the size of Frank Mcgrath's delts with the hardcore muscle building dvd set?

[leemhayward]

@cratos1024

The Hardcore Muscle Building DVD would be a good one, it's a killer mass and strength building workout.

[thecadguy10]

what is better? hammer strength,freemotion, dumbells, or bar????????

[leemhayward]

@thecadguy10

There are pros and cons to each of them. But if I had to use only one, it would be free weights.

[thecadguy10]

@leemhayward thanks for the reply! one more question. Does bench work on shoulders? obviously not isolation, but i use proper form and my shoulders are sore after bench.

[leemhayward]

@thecadguy10

Yes, bench presses work the chest, shoulders, and triceps.

[61SGboogie]

@leemhayward Hi Lee, obviously posterior deltoid exercises work the upper back to a certain extent, but is it ok to do these rear-delt exercises on shoulder day if you recently trained upper back within the past few days? Or will this only hinder progress because the upper back muscles need more recovery time? Thanks

[gotahc]

i don't have any of those machines :-(

[Asim2846]

why do u curl ur back so much ?

[theJollyDevil]

OMG Canadian!!! "workUTs" :D man.. you're awesome

[lilqtforeva]

@2:20 You look like Jack Black when he's in pain.

[Pihasanddunes1]

Nice ending. LOL.

[i0nPuNk182]

LOL @ :52... "It's a little bit of an exaggeration but... *nudges head*" lee knows it's true, not an exaggeration at all

[Iwillcheckit2010]

6:28 hot...

[phillzmanillz]

lol at 4:55 chest so thick he cant reach his rear delt

[t3chnoRockeR]

Hi Lee,

When using the hammer strength shoulder press machine, i noticed you're arching your back alot. Ive read that its bad to do this as its more of a chest exercise than shoulder. Is that true?

[tyciol]

@t3chnoRockeR Arching the back changes the line of force to upper (medial clavicle) pecs instead of front (lateral clavicle) deltoids, yes.

[IrishRaver03]

Good points on free weights vs machines.. mainly what people need to know is that it's not about the weight your lifting (if you're doing it correctly) but mainly to work the muscle to or close to failure.

[flukebullet1987]

is there a free weight exercise u think is best 4 rear delts?

[tyciol]

@flukebullet1987 That depends on your implement. If you have a barbell, wide grip bent-over rows with the elbows out will hit the posterior deltoid. If you have dumbbells you can do this as well (just know that if your hands come in, your elbow flexors will work and make it easier for your rear delts and back, which you do not want if they are what you aim to hit).

Dumbbells also provide the option of extending the hands out further than the elbows in a flying type motion, when have only lights

[flukebullet1987]

@tyciol thanks 4 the reply, helps alot!

[grahamgg87]

hi lee.

just wondering if you ship your dvds to the uk?

thanks

graham

[leemhayward]

@grahamgg87

Yes, we ship them world wide and they are region free. They will play on pretty much any DVD player.

[GREMLlN]

haha, i dont know if its just me, but at 2:25 your face reminded me of jack black :D

.... Totally out of context

[phillzmanillz]

@GREMLlN haha yeh it did.. one big ass chested jack black

[RagonProductions]

I do alot more exercices for my shoulders(can you build big muscles with few exercices?). I also see you using cables/machines alot. I mostly use dumbells for all my exercices, is this badder then cables?

[leemhayward]

@RagonProductions

I mix things up all the time, for this workout I used machines, in another shoulder workout I may use all free weights. The "best" approach is vary your training and simply provide your body with unique muscle stimulation.

[RagonProductions]

@leemhayward Is it also true that it is better to for example do exercices one month in a slow motion and the following again in a faster motion?

[motoxbuddy]

I never seen that face pull excercise.will try it next shoulder night

[travis5348]

I like what I've been able to accomplish in the 9 months or so I have been following Lee's workouts, but a word of caution, start light if you are going to do those cable crossovers for the rear delts (around 5:00), I managed to really mess up my shoulder and have been out of the gym for over 2 weeks as a result. I heard and felt a pop on the front of my right shoulder, possible rotator cuff damage.

[bizzdot123]

@travis5348

sorry to hear that, that sucks

[Greenbodybuilding]

Loving the videos keep it up mate!

[davergaver]

does ur dvd come with a print out of the workouts or do I take take notes when watching the video?

[leemhayward]

@davergaver

There are downloadable workout charts that come with the DVD program as well. I cover all basis to make following the program as simple as possible.

[bengalibadass]

Hi Lee. Hope your'e good.

What is the name of the GYM, in which you worked out & made this video? If I'm right, you also made many of your other videos, in this gym too. Is it a 24hrs GYM?

[leemhayward]

@bengalibadass

I workout at Global Gym in St. John's Newfoundland. It is a 24 hour gym.

[TheAtomicDon]

Thanks for the tips! Did this workout today and I'm feeling it!

[p90x4lifewaswrong22]

@TheAtomicDon Hey Don!

Nice to see you here! I was looking through Lee's videos and happened to come across your comment. Lee REALLY knows his potatoes...what I really like about Lee is that he is always coming out with new videos and is actually demonstrating live workouts

[TheAtomicDon]

@p90x4lifewaswrong22 Yes! He is pretty good! Thanks to you I found out about him thru your channel. Thanks!

[73DDY]

Hi Lee, my comment might be irrelevant to the video but I was hoping if you can upload a video of some exercises or any of your knowledge on Rotator Cuff injuries. How to recover/strenghten yourself from the injury etc.

Many Thanks!!!

[BoooobMilk]

lol good ending

[alucardwillfreed14]

You always know shits going down when lee breaks out the chipmonk face while doing his excercises (E|:<)

[ShookOne92]

hey lee is a square chest due to genetics or can we adapt from round to square with certain exercises?

[leemhayward]

@ShookOne92

Both, the mass will come from training, but overall your muscle shape will depend on your genetic structure.

[studiobuddy]

@leemhayward what about roundness and shoulder width...you think its partially genetic too?

[tyciol]

@studiobuddy The actual distance of your shoulder sockets, your glenohumeral joint, is definitely a predominantly gene-based thing. The glenoid fossa in your scapulae is dictated by how far apart your scapulae can spread, and the distance you can spread your scapulae is determined by the length of your clavicle. That's because while they attach only in the back with muscle, there are ligaments that bind the acromion to the clavicle and the sternum to the clavicle. Long clav = wider set shoulders

[getoffme10]

lol, funny though some guys do walk around like that who are alot smaller then lee

[robert2bfootball]

lol @ end

[mrluton]

Lee, I like the last exercise...I'm gonna throw that in today.

[d3torres]

nice ending Lee.
