@wtfdudenotcool101 It is called a power movement...Tommy Kono, a gold olympic medalist in weightlifting and winner of Mr. Universe in bodybuilding, taught me proper form for the push press and "throwing it up."
@wtfdudenotcool101 This is and has been a controversial issue. While recent studies have shown that lifting lighter weights until muscle fatigue builds muscle, research has also shown that subjects using heavy weights demonstrated greater gains in muscle mass than those using lighter weights. The long and short of it is this: do what works for you. This is what I did to put on size prior to entering a fitness competition. It worked for me and has worked for others as well.
@SOHIFitness Well I wasn't suggesting that lighter weight builds muscle better than heavy weight. I think heavy weight/less reps builds more mass than lighter weight/more reps.
What was I suggesting is that that same weight in a military press would be much more difficult than the exercise you're using it in. Because it isolates your deltoids more than a power movement which uses momentum generated from your legs to essentially make the weight lighter for your shoulders.
@SOHIFitness No point in arguing to be honest. Like you said what works for you and you're obviously doing ALOT of things right or you wouldn't be in the shape and condition you're in.
Good luck Megan and don't mind the bad words. I know they sound bad but I honestly didn't mean to offend. Just quick to type.
@wtfdudenotcool101 To add one more thing. If you notice I come down slower in the eccentric phase (lowering the weight) than in the "throwing up" phase or concentric phase. It has been proven that you gain more strength when you work both phases rather than just the concentric phase.
@pablito1904 Side laterals.. as in lateral raise? If so, than yes, but you need to go fairly heavy and with correct form to make sure you hit the right muscles. For me and not included in this video, I also had to do power movements of sets of push press to gain size. LMK if that helps.
@AKBeazBoi Well, hopefully I am done growing already..lol, but as for kids under the age of about 16, you don't want to do heavy weights due to the possibility of breaking growth plates in your bones, which would stunt one's growth. However, if you are under the age of 16, you can choose any weight to do this workout and go slower and/or higher reps and still get an incredible shoulder workout.
@BruceLee2343 Great! Let me know! I did 4 sets of the push press 12 reps each set and then 4 sets of 10 reps for both the shoulder press and lateral raise combo.
Great job.

What the point of throwing the weight up? You're cheating. Use less weight and use more muscle.
Doesn't matter how much weight is on the bar if you're throwing it up with your legs.
This woman is retarded.

@SOHIFitness That still doesn't change the fact that what you are doing does not build mass in the shoulders.
You're trying to build your shoulders, not train for olympic lifting event right?
This exercise allow you to lift more weight above your head that you would if you were isolating your shoulders.
Military press at half that weight will build your shoulders more than this exercise...
