  • carlton got rip

  • What are your questions?

  • i have asked 2 personal trainers, 1 girl and 1 guy, they both told me to go to shoulder height, that means, all the way down of course. there's no point in doing with like he's doing it.

  • @MultiWingnut hmm im no expert i just assumed that smaller less used muscles in the shoulder would be activated. I guess the main point i was trying to make is if you were just trying to get a good shoulder workout you shouldn't have to go below parallel.

    Maybe ask a fitness expert tho before trying it... haha XD

  • @newyears912 What other muscles would be used when going below parallel? I can't think of any other muscle that performs the function of raising the arms from 0 degrees to 180 degrees.

  • @MultiWingnut Lowering them that far is going beyond the shoulder muscles effective operational range, from then on you would be incorporating other muscles into the exercise just to get the weight back up. You may even cause yourself a shoulder injury

  • What happens if you bring the dumbbells lower than your shoulders? Anybody know?

  • @mezigpo dumbass, skinny white boy

  • Standing version is superior to seated. It is more challenging because of the balance issue so you can handle less weight. Also it activates your core and keeps you from cheating by slumping in the chair.

  • you can really feel your muscles by doing this exercise in his way. And it needs small weight :P
