Shoulders Workouts - Weight Training Exercises For Big Delts

[doktorfritte]

The shoulder press is the best exercise for building shoulder strength. The shoulder joint is in its most stabilized position and the range of motion is the greatest of all pressing exercises. When performed standing it also engages all the muscles involved in mid line stabilization. Strength>mass. Rippetoe and Starting Strength. Search and read.

[mamimooz]

you should do some bent over lateral raises too, cuz that trains youre rear delts

[AnthonyHarder]

very well xplained, thanks dude

[cripstyl3r]

man ur a champion i always wondered y my laterals lacked intensity ur form was flawless cheers

[Rosewater71]

Good workout

[MexMan510]

question

should i be doing bicep tricep and shoulders in the same day?

[flybikes43217]

can you do this with a bar ?

[phillybeez]

how man reps should I do

[cajetoso1000]

how much time will it take to get cut arms like yours

[buffbeno]

i see so many ppl swing like mugs

[IgWannA2]

i like upright rows for shoulders, do you not recommend them for some reason?

[4wang2chung0]

hey weird question, everyone.

how come protein shakes only come in like chocolate,vanilla,and cookies and cream flavors?

ive seen creatine thats like, fruit punch,berry blast,pineapple, all kins of good tasting drinks, but i hate the nasty chocolate protein shakes.

[rbt809]

damn man u got some big ass arm omgg lolz

and great vid i started doing that workout

[nelbox81]

simple and effective. that's good

[bilal301499]

this guy is a V Gud trainer.. Explain v Clearly.. I love his Videos.. :) Thnx Mate..

[pikeythedrumfreak]

can anyone tell me...

my current workout is all arm groups monday, chest and back wednesday and abs and legs friday. is it okay to mix it up? for example training shoulders, biceps and back monday and triceps and chest wednesday? does this still build the same as long as you work the muscle once a week? thanks

[rickalex21]

cool , thanks... learning a lot , fixing to look now for abs and triceps

[mitsos3d]

ok first of all this guy's arms are awesome. In the first exercise make sure you are not pushing too hard your back on the seat, use the seat just to keep your balance, you want to get most out of the exercise. In the second, just make sure your back is straight. The shoulder muschle is relatively small, so you dont really need to use tons of weight to get cut.

[Blackout20000]

i do military press 4 mines

[kawser97]

thanx man

[Puckosmucko]

Perfect for my workout

[jayjayarsantiago]

thank you very much.....

[tpcardoso]

good video, but i dont really like the last exercise... id oknt know why but i got a really bad pain in my shoulder, it feels like a feel a shock on my nerve)

[Greeco91]

you should always have a pressing movement!

cause all your doing are isolation movements!

and when you feel your triceps when doing presses! your technique or mind muscle connection cant be the greatest!

[KISSKommando]

Awesome video.

I never do any overhead presses, as it mainly works your triceps, and puts your shoulder in a great position to tear your rotator cuff because it's a very un-natural movement. Laterals, front raises, and upright rows are much less likely to injure your shoulder. Also, when doing front raises, cross over the body slightly, as that is the natural contraction of the front delt...front and across.

[Stingfan200010]

i love doing this work out

[violakill]

I think a fourth exercise my be good to work the posterior deltoid. He has addressed the anterior and medial heads of the deltoid only

[bsdanielm]

These tips are great. Thanks whoever creatd these.

[jm797]

he didnt do rear delts

[heedongchae]

probably mean perpindicular not parallel

[blueblob4]

Is it better to do shoulder presses sitting or standing?

[bmmggbhg4life]

Both! No cheating involved doing them sitted (strict movement) compared then standing. Less weight compared to standing, you can pack on the weights for building extra mass when doing them standing but try to keep cheating minium when doing them standing.

Hope this helps!

[NFORSA]

sitting less stress on the back

[Lochi2121]

standing...it engages more stabilizer muscles.

[barneymcnathan]

but if you are sitting, you use a stricter technologiwe and you'll have a better contraction. when you stand, it is easier to swing wiht the body......and i also thinkt, that its better for your back....I'd prefer sitting

[ballsrburning]

but is more likely to cause injury as you put too much pressure on your lower back. Personally I would only sit when doing shoulder press.

[davidcrowlands]

sitting gives you more stability and so your less likely to injure yourself, i prefer sitting.

though its jsut preference really both are good.

[vitaliykim]

It really depends on what you want to do. I like sitting by isolating the shoulder muscles.

[transtiojoao]

are you sure? cause i think its harder doing at sitting position

[youtuba555]

sitting.....more weight, more muscle.

[seandog1234]

sitting, it forces you to use good form.

[hash1212]

use lighter weight when standing as you dont want to pull a back muscle if your strainin at your last rep

[davidsamuelhoude]

Sitting because you are more stabilize

[pollojuanpa1]

sitting, standng u can get a lesion at your low back

[ultimatumjs]

depends, as the guy below said, it does engage lots of stabilisers iof you stand, but if you sit it tends to isolate the deltoid muscle more.

[nickbrules1]

does this work the entire deltoid

[rozs7777777]

what weight are you using for the last excerise ?

[buggeazy]

looks like 25s

[CHRIS454]

i love doing arnold presses. that workout makes u really feel your deltoids gettin tired and quick. you can just search arnold shoulder press for anyone who's interested.

[forridersofsatan]

the 2nd workout, does that work the side of your delts?

[gadfhh]

yes

[sparwood8]

Do the lat raises first. then you pre-exhaust the target muscle. Less likely to injure, too

On front lat raises, you can hold both d/b at eye level and lower one, then raise it. You always have one d/b in the top poosition. Hard, but it sure works. The idea is there is always resistance on the muscle. Use less weight, go super slow and strict

[synkronyk]

the only reason that going too low hurts is that you've not been training the full range of motion with the mass you can press through the stronger part of that range. All you need to do is concentrate on the form in the lower sections of the exercise with lower weight to build that strength up.

[vannido1]

"Don't exercice you are too young"

You are never too young.

When I was 7-8, and I saw my brother working abs, so I sat and did the same, when I was like 9 I had nice abs. Today, I dont feel any trauma, just good memories of the bigger kids talking to me, cuz I was the 7 year kid with abs :P (I stopped now, because Im lazy lol)

[omgitsredruM]

About the stunting growth rumor, it does NOT.Studies shown that the HGH (human growth hormone) rises while working out suggesting lifting might actually help you aid growth, not stunt.

[GrEaTeSt786]

nyc arms dude

[annumosha08]

this really helped i .....use to swing my arm......

ive joined zym...just a week ago....ill do it with lighter wieght...2 get d right tech.........

[casualtyarmy87]

good video!

[twotoesandahead]

I started working out about 3 weeks ago, and find that my biceps are gaining bulk and strength well. however, really having trouble with my triceps and shoulders as it seems like i'm stuck in a rut. Anyone have any idea how to get arms like jennifer aniston??

[jbreu2]

its very true that weightlifting that doesnt stunt growth or is bad for u at a young age because i started when i was 12 i am now turning 16 in 6 months and i am pefectly healthy and am 6ft and still growing : )

[roystreet]

would that stund your growth?

[MooseheadDrinker]

You only worked the top, side and front.

You forgot to work the back of the shoulder!!

[pascalown]

awesome thx

[KENNYxZARAKI]

im not planning on being a bodybuilder or anything but i do wanna get huge, so i do a kinda heavy weight, about 40-45 pounds, 5 sets of 10 that works too

[sellmeisters]

the side laterats workout is not working on the shoulders it works on the neck muscles

[danny6488]

very good shoulder workout its targeting the front and medial parts of the delts but he should of included some exercises for rear delts as that is generally a very neglected part of the delt when people are training shoulders in the gym

but still a very good vid :D

[M324s]

i wonder if you could do the training with only 1 dumbbell

[someguy9008]

i've heard front raises are bad for your shoulders...

[halffade]

thank you, I needed that

[Tonster98]

well. He didn't talk about the breathing techniques which are crucial. Also, you should tighten your abdominal muscles.

[SergioAndres91]

good good very good... friends,???

[Sabtecha]

what about the rear delts? can't neglect those, or you shoulders will slump forward and you'll get an imbalance

[EbopAllDay]

on the last exercise why do you use one arm instead of two?

[knuckleballer187]

got me feeling it and I hav'nt even tried it yet. good vid dude.

[VegetaGravy]

I personally do 3 sets of 6-8 reps of the dumbell shoulder press as it should be treated as a heavy compound exersise.

The other 2 exercies, I agree, require good form (no swinging) to be fully effective.

[amitshima]

i started do weights wen im 21

[DevonDeFazio]

did you hit your head with a dumbell?

[ausonmartinpanther]

dang i was doing that exercise all wrong.

[CeeBlees]

Hey, im 16, 5ft 8, im doing a 100 pounds bench press and using whey protein too. Is there any other tips on how to get bigger because i have a quite a small physique

[sparwood8]

Take your sweet time. Do Barbell Sqauts and Deadlifts (See a trainer for tech on Deads) Bench presses and Chinups are great. I like doing a set of pullovers lying acorss the bench. It opens up the chest and gives a great stretch to the upper back.

This routine is good, but you can even do more if you hold the 'top' for one second. To confuse the muscles, you can superset the same muscle,, as in side lat raise, immediately followed by barbell shoulder press. 2 supersets is plenty

[robertico97]

great demonstration

[legendkilleravr]

is 15 to young to workout?

[jonblaze32]

Dont listen to these guys. You can start lifting weights safely at a young age. Weights DO NOT put any more pressure on the growth plates than does youth football, sprinting, or any other contact sport. I was previously an athlete at USC (THE USC) and also am now a personal trainer. Just type in "growth plates" and "weight training" on google and check any reliable source. It wont stunt your growth or hurt your body.

[dustin4vn]

yeah I know... people with those comment probably fat people who hear a few word from people, not an expert lol...

[SerbianJudo]

EXACTLY! The only reason this myth exists is that some short people blame other things for being short and that includes bodybuilding.

[TWags57]

i didnt work out till i was 16.5 yrs, and now i am very strong, dont workout too young

[radicalreality01]

right i need some advice , how much should you increse each set weight by , and how many different weight exercises would anyone here recommended to do in one session for your shoulders/chest etc etc , if anyones got any tips message me with them , thanks ,

[radicalreality01]

right im 6ft2 and 19st of lets say FAT! lol [but my arms are big from working in construction ] , but im about to start working out , what i want to know is how much should you increase the weight of each set? and how many different shoulder/chest etc etc exercises should you do i a single work out? final question is an hour and a half long enough when working out with weights, just message me you anyone has any feedback! or tips , thanks ,

[mypsp310]

dillion...if u dont want to stop growing try not doing excersises that involve standing up with heavy wieghts..once u get to be the hieght that u wana b at then u can start wiith heavier wieghts

[12barber98]

is it okay to be takng creatine and proien supliments at 15 years old

[Rocky86o]

no your body is still developing and just completed puberty I dont recc. it.

[alexshmalex]

Best not to dude. You're still developing and although creatine is a "safe" supplement, you don't need it as your muscles are not fully grown yet anyway.

[preid2]

Creatine is garbage and is involved in a variety of bad health concerns.

[VegetaGravy]

Creatine is found in red meat, my friend, and is thus only involved in the same 'health concerns' of eating red meat - and we all know that those concerns are bull.

It is also the second most tested sports supplement, next to protein shakes, and has been scientifically proven to increase strength and size. I have a first hand experience of this as I've increased the amount I'm lifting by 20% within 1 month of using it, the results I'm seeing aren't too bad either.

[sparwood8]

I quit all that stuff and just do Protein shakes and take a half tsp of Bee Pollen an hour before I hit the gym. Also a daily B complex multi vit'

Having said this; a lot of guys in the gym are sold on creatine. I didn't like it.

I eat lots of fish, and eat liver 2x a week instead

[babyoil1]

creatine is all water in the muscles.. u gotta keep taking it to maintain the physique and strength u gained while using it.. it does work though

[JoeyandLindsay]

You were slightly mislead by whomever told you this. Creatine does work well, but should be cycled due to it's affects on your system. It is a natural substance, but too much for prolonged periods can have negative effects. I suggest reading a bit more about it...

[neo3187]

basically d combination of creatine and protein in d diet is d real deal... all the other stuff these days in the market are just GOOD way of fooling people... m nt saying they dont work, but they are not at all necessary

[bonelessBob]

the human body itself is mostly water

[quathar]

Actually it's the other way around. It even protects against brain damage in the case of head trauma. Read up on the scientific literature.

[sparwood8]

Preid: 'Negotiable'. I tried it and didn't like it. It made me feel bloated. Just train slow and intense 3 x a week and eat smart. Be anxious for nothing, in this game

[TheKillM8]

umm im 14 and weight training for football seasons and i wanted to ask a question... do u benefit more from tighting the muscles or streching them?

[GuitaristJesse2442]

u wanna stress the muscle so it grows.and rest the next day so the muscle recovers

[GuitaristJesse2442]

well when you lift weights, your damaging the muscle fibres.and to get real growth in your muscles you have to get to those really deap muscle fibres.

your muscles repair the damaged fibres so theyre stronger and bigger

[beanbag1985]

also when the muscle fibers become damaged they group onto other newly formed fibers

[kundimaharaj]

no.... when muscle fibers become damaged you have muscle loss... when you gain muscle you arent adding cells or fibers, the radius of each microfibril is increasing therefore it looks bigger. like a small rope turning into a big wide rope

[Ventasmentos]

Depends. Unless you are not looking for endurance, you shouldn't worry too much about stretching your muscles completely (But it IS an important factor. Don't stop right after you've exercised. A little stretching is important). Loose muscles are more "durable", but if you want to train for the look, stretching is not the most important keyrule.

[Boboultimate]

im 16 and i do 20 kg's. when i was 13 i started on about 10 kg then i gradually went up

and my growth aint been stunted i dont think

jst given me biggere muscles =/

[dillonbasi]

okay ive heard alot about this, i am 13 i do 30 pounds for each muscle, example i do 30 pounds for my right bicep alone, the label on one side of the dumbell says 15 so that means each block is 15 pounds, so its 30 i do 3 sets of 10 reps and i do all of these guys exercises with that weight. Is this okay for me?

i am 5'6 but i still want to grow if i was going to grow if i didnt do weight training this early.

will this weight stop me from growing.

[valeriyvyskribov]

You're thirteen? Take my advice and don't workout yet at all, you're too young.

[frogger2222]

yep this is right , at such a young age your bones are still growing at a high rate. by lifting weights u are putting alot of presure on your bones and this will result is weaker points on your bones making them easy to break , if not stress fractures. at 13 you should be working on the most important part of your body "the brain"

[sparwood8]

Wrong. A kid can benefit from chinups, presses, squats, either bench presses or pushups, and biceps curls. Even if he is nine. I know this first hand. My bones are super

[donkeydickkk]

nope, growth stunt is just a myth. but it is possible to ruin a growth plate if you use a weight that you cant handle. But if you do 12-15 reps and try increase weight gradually you will be fine

[reddeadlys]

are you sure your not doing 15 lol...

[mattjones969]

on most dumbells the weight on the side is the whole thing. 30lbs = about 13kg?

if your curling that for sets with proper form at 13, ill cook my own balls and eat them

[austinpayne123]

haha good way to prove ur point hahaha thats hilarious no but im 15 and i can only do about 12 - 15 with 20 lbs and iv been workin out daily for a couple years

[cleav123]

Lol, it says 15lbs, cause it is 15lbs.

[goremaggedongore]

yes, you're right

[austinpayne123]

im pretty sure u doing 15lbs buddy

[WeaponsFromHome]

The 15 on the side means 15 lbs for the entire weight...so each block is 7 1/2

[Dog23luv]

Thank you for the video. I was doing it wrong all this time. I actaully came down all the way and it is hurting my shoulders. Thank You.

[menonfire12]

very good video

[SAMTHEASSasin99]

Just kidding Im seeing improvement.Ty

[SAMTHEASSasin99]

so how long before I see results 90 days? lol

[gabsylv]

thanks, this has helped me a lot

[b4rmy]

muscle does 1 of three things, stays the same size, gets bigger or gets smaller (it does not turn into fat).

[halliex2]

muscles are not made from protein, they are made from hundreds of thousands of muscle fibres, protein merely aids the rebuilding of damaged muscle tissue, i just thought i would point that out.

[DemonosZXZ]

That only depend on ones objective are you trying to lose weight?

[jacksonjeong18]

it is very interesting that you said protein merely aids the rebuilding of damaged muscle tissue,

then do you mean that eating proten does not help building muscles? or just little bit?

[nodnarbdoowron]

yea im pretty lost too. im bout to start liftin and ima get me some protein powder. so yea can someone explain tha protein deal?

[hornswoggle20jake]

u dont need protein if your just starting to lift.. take supplements after u get into after a while

[abdullah5]

yo

hornswoggle20jake ive been workin out properly for two months and my body isnt really buff yet would do u reckon mate

[TheAmazingTurd]

How can you expect to look buff in only 2 months? give it at least a year or so.

[hulkwillsmash]

gains don't come overnight bro, lift hard and eat big and be patient, gains will come

[renlove1981]

yes listen to the hulk or he will smash you.

[sparwood8]

Do you feel better than when you started to work out? I am gusssing YES. Stick with it... this is a life-long program

[tallandroo]

actually muscles are made of protein. Do you think your steak or chicken breast is animal fat? No. It's animal muscle. Muscle is made of protein.

[throwforlife]

Muscles are essentially made of protein, when you get right down to all the chemical make-up and all that stuff, however, eating protein isnt going to make your muscles grow jsut like that, what protein does is helps repair the muscle after a work out, when you work out your muscle fibres are torn, this is what makes you sore after a hard workout. When you eat protein it helps repair the muscle fibres, they grow new fibres over the old ones, therefor adding size to the muscle.

[tombw]

o come on dipstick. and muscle fibres are macromolecules are they? muscles fibre are made of protein. thats like saying books arent made out of paper they are made of pages. i just thought i would point that out.

[trio628]

yea, you're right, protein is a chemical in your body, your muscles are made out of muscle tissue, he has the right idea, but he's not there yet.

[ummmyaok]

very good workouts

thank you

[ownerofdeath]

No!, The "Reversibility effect" comes to mind, if you neglect your muscles for a long period of time then they begin to turn from muscle to eventually fat, if you were at a high level of performance before you won't be close to that now after 15 years, you'll need to start lower.

[iainsuttie]

bustedeggs

If you knew anything about biology, you would know that muscles are made from protein and are entirely different material from fat!

Hence muscles do not, I repeat not, turn into fat!

Please can we lay this misconception to rest once and for all.

[michaeld7]

what they mean is the muscle will break down and you will gain fat. they didn't litterally mean that the muscle will transform into fat.

[CyberA3]

I agree with iainsuttie. If you knew anything about what you are talking about you would know that it is IMPOSSIBLE for muscle to turn into fat and vice versa.

[penfoldstew]

i use to train over 15 years ago would my body remember and go back to what it use to do

[cligereen]

u would proberbly remember the exercises you were doing.but your body would need time to get back into shape again you say 15 years thats a big gap try 2 get back into training and stick 2 it.

[ChiBulls08]

thanks but do you know any tricep workouuts

[falankat]

good one

[martynblackburn1977]

That gym is pristine clean. The gyms in my town have been through a hedge backwards. And the people who run these gyms creep me out.

[nassir789]

Great vid

[Chilled271]

ive just started working out,im 6,3 of slim build, but the nutrition balace is becoming a problem. i dont have a clue what to eat when and where?also being slim,will puttin on weight increase my muscle mass or can i get just as big the way i am.any tips

[jbrown53]

I had the same problem a couple years ago... Im 6'3 and 200 lbs. But when i started working out, i only weighed 165 lbs. What worked for me is the GNC Pro Performance Weight Gainer 2200 Gold... Awesome product for putting on mass... Since we both are tall and lanky, any mass is good mass and this helped me out alot... Cheap too...

[Chrisstiv]

good tips on the technique, defineatly helps

[krwynDy]

Great tips!

[gunashangaran21]

cool

[Deeebo]

awesome tips

[jas3233]

on the side and front raises is it better to keep your arm partly bent as you raise or try to keep your arms straight at all times? im just wondering cus shoulders have always been a problem area for me. always been able to do decent wieght but never really get the look and size

[zheik]

great video and tips.

[grubbs89]

i hope this guy knows that his vids help so much,

better than all those juiced up roids

[garoosh05]

I think the best thing is just doing different kinds of excersises for each muscle and using the highest wiueghts possible without cutting a set short.

[TSBNT]

thanks for the tips

[muscleN8]

should be more guys like this guys...and not like steroid bubbles ( dont even want to use the term man, they r not reall man)

[yacineW12]

this dude should take up boxing, i mean look at him!

[jjjattt]

excellent tips

[Barbarian11111]

is better to incrase my maximum strength or my average strength.I mean is better to use max weights i can pull,or normal weights?

[ShikamarusLearner]

be careful with the front raises, they can really hurt your back if you dont stand straight or the weights are to heavy...

any one know good replacement for it cuz some times they still hurt my back? : (

[roberto347]

MILITARY PRESSES with a barbell, and seated dumbell raises (as the one shown in the begining of this video) Is what you need to build a base foundation for mass!

[Jarda44]

I actually go too low in the first exercise you performed

[Rissole777]

I have always gone that low and never hurt my shoulders i press 40kg for reps. cheats with partial reps....

[burtondude69]

arnold used to do the one armed dumbell raises (the last workout he did) differently...he would keep his arm straight and go untill his arm was almost completely vertical...thats what i do, it seems good

[MrJKdisaster]

If you do it correctly you should feel it MORE on your shoulders, but you do feel a slight buzz on your arms.

As for reps, you decided. Star lifting the weights and she how many you can do, but cut them down. I do 3 sets of 15

[londongaylad]

Thanks for that. Quick question. Which exercise is the best for working out the back of the deltoids? The front and the side of mine are reasonably developed but the back has not. Thanks

[rugby121]

rear delts are important and often neglected. i prefer the standing bent-over latural raise, although you can do seated. Also on some fly machines they allow you to reverse the seating position to do the rear delts.

[8ouncechickenbreast]

agreed, you can also you a cable machine but the great thingabout shoulders is you can get a great workout just from dumbbells

[hekma]

does this exercise also effect arms in some way ?

[Archael7]

Yes. You need your triceps to help push the weight up and your forearms to grip the weight. I've noticed gripping heavier weights my forearms come out sore afterwards.

[BBOYlol1]

so how many reps for each excercise??

[bliss1083]

Depends if you want bulk or lean muscles. Bulk low reps with high weight. Lean high reps with lower weight.

[BigTallOx]

There's more to it than that. You can do isolation exercises with "high weight" and still not build bulk. ( but that's just my opinion )
