Shoulder Workout Finisher (WORKS EVERY TIME)

the right way Not all shoulder workouts are the same, especially depending on how you finish them! In this video, I show you one of my favorite finishers for your shoulder workout to make sure you fry your deltoids (rear, medial and front) before you call it a day in the gym. The goal of any shoulder workout (or any weight training session for that matter) should be to push yourself just a little bit farther than you did the last time you trained that muscle. In the case of the shoulders, this combination of exercises is the perfect way to end your workout to ensure that you are doing enough to cause a positive adaptation and new strength/size. With this finishing sequence, you-ll hit all three heads of your deltoid while never ignoring the one you started with due to the cumulative fatigue that this presents. Start by choosing a weight that causes you to fail at 10-12 reps for a bent over shoulder raise. Perform your first set of this exercise to failure and immediately proceed into the next exercise in the sequence. The shoulder exercise that follows is the side lateral raise. If you perform this shoulder move correctly you-ll be using not just your medial deltoid but also your posterior deltoid and even a bit of your rotator cuffs. The proper way to do this movement is to keep your thumbs higher than your pinkies and not the opposite way around. This will cause you to externally rotate your shoulders and have a healthier position for your shoulder joint at the top of the movement. Perform this part of the shoulder workout without resting and move immediately into the next exercise - the front shoulder raise. When you do this exercise you target the front head of the deltoids primarily. That said, because of the mounting fatigue that you have going from not resting since the start of this finisher, you will still feel your entire shoulders working, including your posterior deltoids. Keep this going until you can-t perform another rep. Finally, the finisher comes to a close by moving into the dumbbell shoulder press. By this point, your shoulders are fried and even the light weight that you are using feels heavy for a shoulder press. Rep out as many reps as you can until reaching failure. For an even bigger challenge, immediately drop the dumbbells and move onto a weight that is just a bit lighter and repeat the whole sequence. Work your way down until you are finishing your shoulder workout with just your own arms moving in space. Contract your muscles as hard as you can through this finisher and you will barely be able to lift them when it-s over

Yesterday I did this and right after I finished my warmup one of the guys was asking me why I don't use the seated shoulder lift, I told him I'm following Athlean X's workout, he said I was just wasting my time and that Jeff's workouts are too complicated, so I ignored him and finished this workout and I literally felt my shoulders on fire for the first time and said to myself, without Jeff I am wasting my time: ) thanks Jeff.

Jeff, these finishers are brutal and I do the appropriate one in coordination with your AX1 program. Here's my question. On this exercise I see you dipping your head to get through them. Is that proper form or should the head be kept in the up position? Or doesn't it matter for -Finisher- series at the end of a normal workout? (Your workouts are far from normal, but you know what I mean)

Jeff, can you help me out with this:
Can i use this 'finisher' in my heavy shoulder workout? Or do you prefer on the light shoulder workout?
Ps: on a heavy workout day (in general) do I need to do all exercise heavyweight or can I finish the workout with lightweight to finish it off.
Can you please answer me. I'm trouble by this unanswered question for a long time.

I did a shoulder finisher of holding 11-pound dumbbells and doing a SLOW freestyle swimming stroke while standing. Also with dumbbells and slow movement, like I'm turning bicycle pedals with my hands (forwards and backwards -pedaling- in front of my chest. I also like very slow shadow boxing with dumbbells. Talk about some continuous stress and compound movement!

I know this is an old video, but I tried this today with 15's, 10's, 5's, than no weights (each with 30 second rests like Jeff teaches here and it was INTENSE! I didn't even get to my vertical trap work, I just left haha. I'm definitely doing this again, but maybe not every chest/shoulder day.

Dude, I did this workout to a tee on my birthday and I haven't been back to the gym since. I had to shave the hair off my teeth. LMAO! Just joking, I'm going to try it out tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to educate us on your techniques, it has helped me out a lot.

Whenever I need a new/different exercise, I watch one of these videos the day before. When you're always putting something different in your workout, you can challenge your muscles to adapt and you don't have to rely on really heavy weights or 2 hr workouts.

I do this however in reverse, next shoulder day going to do your way. I know they work because my shoulders are on fire. In fact buds 20 years younger will not follow me. I give it about 2 minutes in between, will stop that. Thanks agian.

Great recommendation, as usual, Jeff. Did this today at the end of my workout, felt silly at first, and felt absolutely exhausted by the end. I could only do 2 sets of that with 20s though. Pure lactic acid.
