Follow us on instgram here - Shoulder workouts often include exercises that target the front, side and rear delts. That said, while the different heads are covered the method in which they are trained is not. In this video, I show you a shoulder workout secret regarding the inclusion of explosive shoulder exercises into your deltoid workouts. In order for a shoulder exercise (or any exercise for that matter) to be explosive, it needs to allow you to fully express your power through the rep. Plyometric exercises are great examples of this. For instance, on an explosive plyo pushup, you are able to explode off the ground as you push through the normal end point of the exercise. When it comes to shoulders however, this can be tricky to do safely. Additionally, an explosive exercise will have an eccentric loading component that allows you to recoil and recharge your muscles for each subsequent contraction. When it comes to the shoulders, this again can be quite challenging to do without injury. Unless of course, you do the shoulder exercise shown in this shoulder workout video. Grab a heavier than normal medicine ball and perform the solo shoulder med ball toss. The goal here is to keep your arms as straight as possible as you accelerate through a typical front raise motion. As your hands pass through the point parallel to the ground, release your hands from the ball and try to throw it as high up as you can. On the way down, attempt to catch the ball again (with your hands on the side of the ball not underneath the ball. This will force your delts to eccentrically and spontaneously contract to control the descent of the med ball. At the same time that you are doing this you are also activating the stretch reflex of the delts to enable another powerful contraction. This exercise fits in well with any shoulder workout and gives you a chance to experience a pump more intense than any other you-ve had before. This is because you are getting more type iib fibers to become engaged in the movement in order to contribute to the quick contraction needed to complete this exercise. Do 3-4 sets of this front deltoid exercise in your shoulder workout to start increasing the size of your shoulders much faster. It may be the first time that you-ve ever trained your shoulders explosively and they will respond quickly because of this. In the meantime, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System for a complete day by day workout plan that will help you build athletic muscle faster than ever before

I have a question and I'm hoping someone on here with experience can help me out. Currently I am doing P90X and I read the article -vs. P90X- on the website and I wouldn't be opposed to buying AthaleanX and start doing a workout program they offer. However, I have very bad shoulders and I've had surgery on one of them. Because of this I don't normally like to do bench or barbell squats or deadlifts. All three bother my shoulder eventually. This is mainly why I like doing P90X because they don't do these three workouts but still build muscle and burn fat. Is there a similar workout program that AX offers? Is there a specific program for those with shoulder injuries? Is there a good program that uses weights but is not -eccentric about weightlifting-? Thanks!

Jeff, you are a role model for me. I identify myself with your story and find your videos really helpful. I am always careful when it comes to using supplements. So I was thinking about buying supplements from athlean x, because I really trust you. In one of your videos you mentioned that the products you sell were approved by the NSF, so just to make sure I looked up athlean x in the list of products approved by the NFS in their official website. I only found your Joint formula on the list and I was more interested in the protein powder. Now I am a little worried if I should buy protein from athlean x. As I said I trust you and respect you, but I would like for you to somehow prove me that athelan x's products are relieve

ABSOLUTELY LOVE your content!
Mid 50's Overweight - former smoker - Hence overweight. In the last 3 years have had both a c5-c7 fusion and torn rotator cuff repair on the right shoulder. Exercising and strength training has become crucial but discomfort slows down my progress. I LOVE that you throw in some workarounds for previous injuries and think myself and others could benefit even more from your PT experience and perspective. Please continue to add workarounds and alternatives based on PT and strength.
Especially for us broken down old farts that still want to stay healthy
Thank you again for your content

I apologise if you already made the video. I am curious if you got anything to do against tension in the back? I got injured in my back a couple years ago. Now when I exercise my back there is a muscle in my back (going from my approximately my T5 vertebrae right underneath my shoulder) that gets tense. Which then results in tension on my vertebrae and a short breath, because this muscle pulls on the vertebrae, causing it to be a bit of. Been to fysio, curious how you would solve this and release tension on muscles! thanks!

I was wondering if you had an opinion on this jeff (anyone else feel free to respond too)
what's your take on training different ways during one workout? example: training shoulders starting with heavy weights low reps to build strength then doing explosive work like this video then finally going and doing hypertrophy work with lighter weight and lower reps to get volume too? is it bad to do all 3 styles of training on the same day or would it help to maximize size strength and power?

My gym didn't have a medicine ball, so I used a balloon. It took 417 reps before I got tired. Unfortunately the parking there is limited to 1, 5 hours, so I only had time to do 3 sets. But then I got lucky at the grocery store and found an unattended baby. I did 14 reps before his mom called the cops and I had to run. Overall, it was a pretty good day for shoulders and cardio, even though I didn't hit my abs.

Jeff, this is an awesome exercise (or is it a training method haha. Training and Nutrition not exercise and diet right? Gonna go get a heavier ball - I have a 10 lbs but not enough challenge: ( Oh well, I will be adding to my home gym with more medicine balls and a stand. It was actually enjoyable with the 10 pounder - you're friggin awesome.

Work towards getting rid of 'bad' posture. Inwards rotating shoulders, is it stretch you need? Fynamic, static? Is it usually short pectoralis that forces shoulders to rotate inwards? Is it weak back shoulders/back that usually the issue? Things like this I wonder about and I am sure more do that too! Awesome video as always man!

any way to do this but put the emphasis on the rear, rather than the front delt? I have no lower core control so this type of exercise is VERY difficult for me to do. I can't do this with any kind of heavy weight. But sense I'm in a wheelchair my front delt gets more work anyways. So I need more emphasis on the rear.
