The WORST Shoulder Exercise for Bigger Shoulders - STOP!

The BEST Exercises in one program: When it comes to getting bigger shoulders there are a lot of shoulder exercises that you can choose from. The problem is that because the shoulder is such a delicate joint, choosing the wrong exercises in your shoulder workout can be devastating. In a recent Men's Fitness Magazine issue, I was asked to write about exercises that can be improved and made less dangerous. First up, and featured in this video, is the upright row exercise. This shoulder workout wrecker is one of the worst exercises you can do because it puts your shoulders in the impingement position at the top of the movement. The use of the barbell when doing it makes it even worse. The best thing you can do is swap dumbbells for the barbell and then be sure to keep your elbows LOWER than your thumbs at the top of the exercise. This helps to make the shoulder exercise more of a high pull and places the joint in external rotation instead of internal rotation normally seen with the upright row. When you're ready to send this and other dangerous exercises to the iron graveyard and start doing a workout program that can safely help you build bigger shoulders then you need to head to Get the training program developed by physical therapist and sports medicine professional Jeff Cavaliere, and start seeing noticeably bigger shoulders and an overall more muscular physique in just a few short weeks

I think it kind of depends on the person as well and shoulder pain can come from a multitude of things. You can look around a gym and see people who aren-t balanced their front delts are developed and their rear delts are under developed. Shoulder is like a capsulated ball and socket and if it-s not correctly aligned or their are muscle imbalances shoulder pain will occur no matter what you do. You have to be smart about how you train this isn-t a max out type exercise where you can use body English to get extra reps

I am suffering from diabetes and schizophrenia, since i started working out to your videos, i went from 255lbs of fatty mush to 196lbs. My diabetes at the moment seems to have gone away. sugar readings of 95-115 consistently, and my mind seems clearer than usual, without heavy doses of my medication. I still have a lil stubborn belly fat and love handles i cant get rid of, but i have no plans of quiting. Your diet videos helped me a lot as well. I thank you for these videos. they are saving my life.

I should have watched these videos before staring my training. I now have a bicep tendon injury in my shoulder that has seen the strength gone right out of my whole chest, shoulder and back routine. I-m 59 years old and I was just getting to 130kg bench press level. I did my shoulder doing a combination of upright rows and behind the neck presses with 60kg. Did not struggle with the weight until the damage was done. Now I can-t get past 80kg for a bench press 6 months later. Not good.

i understand the argument about upright rows, but wouldn't the movement you are doing with the dumbbells also be made with a variation of the bent over barbell row (not the exact exercise but the variation, i wasn't sure what it was called? cause im sure there is a barbell movement that does the exact thing for your shoulders that isn't an upright row. what about the Barbell Rear Delt Row?
reply

what if we perform the upright row not so upright but in a position where we perfor DB lateral raises u know the medial head would be alighned with the gravity and then strengthen our forearms and take a bit wider grip than a shoulder grip.
this could also be called BB high pull and just renaming the exrcise would cause a difference.

reply

The straight bar hurts my wrists mainly and seriously works the forearms, so I switched to the EZ bar and it solved the problem. I prefer upright rows to lateral raises. Never tried it with dumbbells yet but will give it a go later today.
Edit: Aren't Upright rows supposed to be kept at nipple height and below?

reply

when you lift with dumbbells, you have the same downward facing pressure, the difference is when the lift goes up the shoulder mark it lift more than barbell, one cannot correct this with dumbbell, I guess A we need to take this exercise out as it is biomechanicaly detrimental to the joint in general
reply

Ive just practiced the dumbell movement without weights on so I can got the motion correct and I'm getting clicking on the last bit of shoulder rotation where I didn't get clicking on the upper bar lift. Am I doing something wrong or is it just my shoulders aren't used to the motion yet
reply

Hey, love your video's! I have learned so much. I have been searching how to do a high pull correctly and have watched several you tube video's and this by far has the proper form that I have seen. I didn't realize there was a difference between up right rows and pull up's. Thanks
reply

Thank you very much. I havent hurt myself yet, i just recently started working out, bb90. I didnt feel comfortable doing upright rows as it put a lot of pressure on the shoulders. As you say, not the right kind of pain. Thank you again and keep up the great work sir.
