Thick Dense Shoulder Workout

[ajetheman]

What do people mean when they talk about a big dude with a decent amount of bf% and say "he's got a lot of dense muscle underneath that fat"?

[MattTheAlmighty]

I want one of those strength camp shirts... raw

[SteffenAJensen]

the olderbrother of hodgetwins, oh snap!

[mzrealm]

@MESSENJAH23 Bodybuilding is about slow reps and good form, not lifting heavy like a powerlifter nigga.

[MESSENJAH23]

Am I the only one here thinking he is not really strong? I mean come on :S

[TheEpicShitz]

@MESSENJAH23 eh? hes just showing off how to do the excerises, how strong are you? cant lift the barbel? trolololol

[shameboy2]

pro tip when you edit the movie mute your sound and then ad a song because now you hear 2 songs playing

[MarkusAir2000]

I get the idea of this workout!

First you start with a compond that hits all delts equally, then you add isolations for each delt. :)

[martin44374]

i find front delt raises to be unnecessary and i think youre lifting the dumbells way to high on the lateral raises, but its just advice

[TheExterminator420]

does anyone know the song name?

[TheEpicShitz]

@TheExterminator420 you can find it on his website :)

[miathemancat]

hodge triplet 

[gvidop]

WHATS THE SONG :) ???

[zarol95]

elliot , do u have any tips or workout for stronger shoulders? my current pr for axle press is 105kgi struggle to increase it.. but my other lifts increasing well .. im 15 5'8 116kg... started powerlifting/strongman last dec .. so yeah hope u can help me elliot...

[JWMmartin]

legitimately the best shoulder workout i've ever done, especially after suffering Supraspinatus tendonitis back in April. The overhead press is the most primal lift i've ever done, absolutely love any compound exercises that require generation of true power.

Thank you Elliot

[MadManATA]

Is it healthy for the joints to raise so high for side raises ..

[TheEpicShitz]

Fuck this song is really tight, great workout song!

[flyboii31]

yo elliott! how far do you think you are from becoming the strongest version yourself?

[strengthcamp]

@flyboii31 haha! VERY far off... sometimes i think im getting close and then i spot a weakness, im not sure if i'll ever be 100% there.

[mariosuck]

Yo Elliot do you give each part of your shoulder (lateral,anterier, posterior) a full workout or do you divide the total number of sets between them?

[hinodewalking1919]

Yo. Elliot. you look like Phil Heath,Mr.Olympia

[Matty82851]

These videos are good but honestly, Id just take the core compound exercise of each one and do them 3x a week. Flat bench, squat, OH press, deadlift...if you're say, 175 and only able to press 80 pounds over your head, what good would front shoulder raises with light weight do?

[ARJUN202]

dude ura beast

[Forrestgumpz]

Song name?

[codename47wq]

Yo Elliot. should you take each set to failure?

[thetariqman]

YO ELIOT.whats the song please..

[aztek617]

YO ELLIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... I WANT TO GET WISW CAN YOU HELP ME SENDING ME THE NAMES OF THE BOOKS YOU READ OR THE LINK TO YOUR VIDEO WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT IT CUZ I CANT FIND IT... THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

[Justus43hit]

what is the song on this video called?

[CoachFrank203]

Elliot do you shrug your shoulders at the top of a shoulder press or do you feel that leads to impingement?

[chronic24]

which one works trapezoids?

[YoungFitnessAddict]

@chronic24 trapezoids? lol

[chronic24]

@YoungFitnessAddict I mean trapezius xD LOL

[YoungFitnessAddict]

@chronic24 haha ok good im pretty shure the lateral raises hit the traps a little

[PeopleEqualShlt]

good stuff reminds me of my own shoulder workout fukn love the militairy press

[dask8r4life]

when your hitting a specific muscle group for example not just on a shouldr day but bicep or tricep day is it good to do 3 excerscises of 4 sests or 4 excercises of 3 sets???

[madspeed7]

lmfao dude your face is so intense during this especially at 1:29 nice job

[PeopleEqualShlt]

@madspeed7 gotta get intense on them last few reps thats the make it or break it point

[madchild0709]

good stuff!! this week will be my first month of working out and having stayed committed to it. next week ill try some different workouts. can't wait to try this!

[DickedOn]

whats the song?



[FastRunner1994]

@DickedOn elliot will never reply u i tried asking him and he never answered back ..!

[tom00440]

I want to know what the song is?

[Ewanformayor]

For someone who isn't a physique athlete you're getting ripped, Elliot!

[astreetmonster0]

yo Elliott please make a quick vid on how to strengthen lower back thanks!

[GSvidzz]

What do you think of arnold presses?

[garudadriarun1]

Man the pic at the start of the vid was dope. Mad respect for the progress you are making! Keeps me motivated.

[oOZiggOo]

just a little FYI, if you have chronic shoulder problems you can do the front and lateral delt raises with your thumbs up and it will really help build those inner shoulder muscles of the rotator cuff.

[GoodMusicFor]

Let me just say, you look like you're at the peak of physical fitness in this video. Amazing, just amazing.

[dgwear69]

are you leaning up, your arms a looking a little less dense

[mrcooolbrah]

Lovely, cable scarecrows would be insanly difficult.

[footyfarid19]

DUDE killer workout ! pure strength, but i still need to know what song this is??? :p

[yommomalama]

have you ever punched someone in the face? and did their head fall off?

[skiptomylube]

yo elliott! when you say to do, for example, 4 sets of 6 reps.. do you generally mean 4 sets of the same weight or are we expected to increase each set? and if so, is there a specific percentage of increments you tend to follow when increasing the weight between each set?

[strengthcamp]

@skiptomylube yea, i usually try to stick with the same weight... especially with strength stuff. 

[DM3062]

@strengthcamp

Hey Elliot, if you lift big (sticking to the ~5 rep range) and eat a lot - it only makes sense that you'd get bigger right? I ask this because of the amount of hypertrophy programs out there.

[adityajuneja7]

hey elliot i dont have cable crossovers at home or gym i cant do the bent over lateral raises for my rear delts

how can i build my rear delts?? to give my arms a "Y" shape

[garudadriarun1]

Never mind. I just found the strength camp workout music video on your channel. Awesome stuff. :)

[chvyant]

Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong when lateral raises only seem to hurt my shoulder, I guess Im doing it in a wrong angle?

[garudadriarun1]

Man we need this theme song so bad. Its epicness knows no limits! I hope you respond with the name. Thanks as usual for the awesome content :)

[shazieb786]

i know that, what i meant was he didnt include anything in his workout that would target the traps

[Coop624]

Yo Elliot.. I've got a question that is pretty broad. Hopefully you can answer it. It's funny, I'm pretty new to this whole thing, but I value your opinion over pretty much anyone else's!

So.. I've been working out 2 months. Should I target 1 or 2 muscle groups a day? I want to get big for summer (in Australia). I am going 5 days a week. What should my main reps and rest intervals be? There seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there.

Love your stuff mate. Has really helped me out.

[strengthcamp]

@Coop624 i give away a mass building program in one of my earlier videos... you can download and use it right away... go find that video and use my free mass template in it.

[gamebred26]

i thoguth your hands were supposed to be below your elbows for side laterals? pinkys up...like pouring out water from a pitcher. no?

[jackmaggotdude]

is this routine designed for hypertrophy or to increase the overhead press?

[jwoodford90]

yo Elliot, what do u say to using a hammer grip for those front raises instead?

[ListonFrazier]

I was wondering what you thing about clean presses, I like to do them during my shoulder workout and they're, together with the squats deadlifts etc , great for mass.. Great video btw Elliot!

[strengthcamp]

@ListonFrazier love em!

[KezVanBeck]

heres the thing, i struggle rediculously to do raises! front raises i use like 12 pound dumb bells for reps, and thats like weak as shit! and lateral i probobly cant even do that :S why is my strength so low in this area?

[Strange0ne]

@KezVanBeck lower the weight eat mor and work on form and full range of motion. you are weak in this area because you havent worked it or have over worked your chest.People are anterior dominant (front) so we tend to over strengthen our fronts like pecks and biceps ect adnd this results in a shortening of these muscle fibres there is a yin and yand effect if you shorten/strengthen the front on its own(even inadvertently) you stretch/weaken the back.Your rear deltoids and trapazoise are stretched

[KezVanBeck]

@Strange0ne alright cheers man! yeah not gonna lie, i always forget this excercise! always put it off... ill just put it into play more

[Victorioushunter]

Compound movements build mass - military press.

Isolation excersises shape muscle - front,side,lateral raises.

Great workout (i do the same things surprisingly),

great video Elliot *thumbs up*

btw. what's the music track called ?

[JasionJones]

Don't you just hate when you're just done working out and your arms are big buff and then 2 hours later they go back down to normal : (

[runescapeclassicable]

brother 2 things..

1st make more video's like this for all other body parts...eg: bicep/chest/back etc/..

2nd make a specific video on rotator cuff prevention/rehab exercises and different tricks to avoid imbalances in shoulder which lead to shoulder injury....

thanks (:

[Voodoofreak35]

@runescapeclassicable i agree.

[misterRDF]

What can you replace the cable scarecrows with if your gym doesn't have the machine?

[hamzakhan111]

can u give an explanation on how to do the scarecrow thing properly?

[86kinky86]

sick song

[hornybrownguy]

LOVE THE MUSIC. WOULD MAKE GREAT MMA FIGHTER ENTRANCE/WALK OUT MUSIC.

[misterRDF]

@hornybrownguy

No shit huh? I keep asking what song it is but never get a reply! I think he keeps its secret because its art of what gives him power!

[KaelinSaint]

@misterRDF

I think he is just tired of answering the same question after he's been asked on every video he has ever used it on. It is a song he had made. You can even buy a ten track CD off his website with this on it. I forget the guy he said made it but the answer is out there on several videos of Elliot's. Good luck, sick ass beat for sure.

[misterRDF]

@KaelinSaint Yo thanks for that. Appreciate it.

[shazieb786]

yo Elliot .. what about traps?

[kez850]

@shazieb786

shrugs

[MrSwe24]

So much determination.

[p8chill]

3 sets of 8-12 for each one?

[TheMadFedje]

1:23 if you see someone making that face, leave them alone.

[GorgonDrageil]

Is Elliot Left-handed?

[i0nPuNk182]

hey elliott, what's your views on p90x? and im saying in general, not like for real muscle building or anything

[tomconjalka]

Yo Elliot...on the side lateral raises... I was told and other on youtube say you should not raise your arms above your shoulders as that way is prone to a shoulder injury...please let me know as I respect you. Thanks..

[strengthcamp]

@tomconjalka most people are hypertonic in the traps so when they raise their arms laterally above the shoulders they inadvertently shrug a the same time. The shrugging coupled with the raising is what can cause injury due to a loss of instantaneous axis of rotation in the shoulder joint. If you have balanced muscles in your neck and shoulders this should NOT be a problem .

[JohnnyHMV1]

@strengthcamp

Yes I do have such problem, my traps take over, how can we fix that? It's really big problem for me and I can safely say ton other people. How can we exclude traps? I tried ton positions with lighter weight but I still feel how my traps are helping. I really would appreciate if you could make quick video on this or simply reply with few tips. Thanks!

[strengthcamp]

@JohnnyHMV1 first, you gotta stretch the later before EVERY SET to "shut them down". next, keep your chest up and think about having a "long neck" when doing the raises.

[JohnnyHMV1]

@strengthcamp Ah stretching, never tried that one. I hope it will help. By the way, what do you mean by stretching the "later'? To stretch which muscle? Thanks!!

[GrungeRockGod]

looking thick, solid, tight, etc are you aware?

[npm619]

looks like ur gettn lean bro!

[Southsidejoshua]

Fuck! I just finished my shoulder workout then i come back home and get on youtube and i see this. Lol

[black9897]

I do scarecrow with dumbbells since I don't have a cable machine.

[godsmackya]

i have started working out 2 days ago lmao i stoped 7 months ago thsese tips really helping me please make more videos for chest back etc

[aoverhol1028]

I have never seen that scarecrow exercise and it looks legit. Thanks Elliot

[BePrime]

Elliot where can I find the name of this song?

[DeWiz001]

A bit off topic from this video, but I was wondering a few things. 1) If I get a few certifications can I do this while I go to college to become a dietitian? or will I have to get a bachelors (or less) in kinesiology (or other such subjects) 2) I'm rather cut, broad shouldered and strong, but I'm worried people won't take me seriously if I'm not near a size of you're body. I'd like to stay around the size I'm at, although I see a lot of trainers that aren't as in shape as I am at 24 hour.

[strengthcamp]

@DeWiz001 1. yes, thats exactly what I did. 2. people will take you seriously if YOU take yourself seriously. it has nothing to do with the way you look, its all about passion and conviction.

[DeWiz001]

@strengthcamp Thank you, for your reply, and time. Have a nice night.

[PeopleEqualShlt]

@strengthcamp and self respect =)  heh

[linkin233]

@strengthcamp My friend is saying that i should bend my elbows a little more than you do during the lateral raises to cause less stress on the joint, is that true?

[Wingsfan7]

Nice video bro, shoulders are the coolest muscle in the body I find ahah.
