5 Best Shoulder Exercises You're NOT Doing!

re looking for the best shoulder exercises outside of the overhead press and side laterals to build your delts, you-ve come to the right place. In this video, I-m going to show you the 5 best exercises for your shoulders to help not only get bigger delts, but to increase the weight on the exercises you-re already doing. The Z Press is a modified overhead press that has you sitting on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you. By taking the lower half of your body out of the exercise, the exercise demands more stability through the core which we often get lazy with in the standard version of the press. The stronger your shoulders get while performing this exercise, the more weight you will be able to press overhead when standing, leading to even bigger, stronger shoulders. One major drawback of an overhead press is the lack of stretch on the front delt. Without gaining full stretch on the muscle, you-re missing an opportunity for bigger, stronger shoulders. The DB Scoop Press puts the elbows behind the body which puts the shoulder into extension, allowing for stretch on the front delt. By putting the muscle into a stretched position in the same exercise where it goes into peak contraction allows the muscle to move through it-s full range of motion to help get bigger shoulders. As a bonus, I am including the Jammer. Not everybody has access to this piece of equipment, but if you do, it should become part of your shoulder training. This is an explosive movement that involves the lower half of your body, allowing you to train your shoulders with power while still pressing overhead. Utilizing power will allow you to handle heavier weight which will translate to a stronger overhead press and overall stronger shoulders. The side lateral raise is a staple shoulder exercise that should be in everyone-s training routine. I often advocate using light weights to increase the quality of the reps and the tension directly placed on the middle delt. However, DB Cheat Laterals allow for you to move a heavier weight to overload the shoulders further. Taking advantage of heavier weight will also contribute to the amount of weight that you can use during strict lateral raises. The DB Cheat Lateral is going to be helpful in building rounded, capped delts. No shoulder training would be complete if you are ignoring the rear delts. Remember, just because you can-t see them, doesn-t mean you can-t train them! The DB Urlacher is a great exercise that not only will increase rear delt size, it helps with shoulder health. With the elbows elevated and behind the body, you are placing direct tension on the rear delt, something that isn-t done with traditional shoulder exercises. The external rotation also means that you are strengthening the rotator cuff which is important to shoulder joint health and longevity. If you have access to a cable machine, a great way to hit the rear delts (besides doing facepulls) is by performing the Wraparound Rear Delt Row. This shoulder exercise is great because it not only gets the shoulders into external rotation, but it puts the rear delt on stretch at the bottom position of the exercise. This is an awesome way to hit those shoulder muscles you might-ve been neglecting all this time. If want to build not only better shoulders but every muscle in your body faster, then you need to put the science behind every exercise and workout that you do.

1: 46 Why do you do military press while sitting?
It is a quite stressful for the heart and circulation, it is a difficult stressful exercise, so I usually do it standing up otherwise it is not good for blood circulation or heart and the heart valves when you sit in this exercise
The dumbell scoop press
I don-t even know I messed up anything but my shoulder joints made interesting sounds during the exercise and i started to feel pain that I preferred to stop this exercise
The shoulder certainly doesn-t evolivng from the jammer but maybe it can give you a little more strength, but I think it is an unnecessary practice
the Lateral Raise for me is only effective with a straight arm
I never achieved any results with it I just inflated my shoulder temporarily if I did it with a bent arm
This exercise is best done with a straight arm

I love all the information Jeff! I try everything I can from your videos for building muscle in the right way. Quick background; I am 52 and spent 5 months losing 50 pounds of fat. Now I am focused on building muscle mass but my shoulders are really hurting no matter what upper body workout I do. I simply cannot do shoulder workouts without pain. My question is at my age should I push through the pain (which I want to do) or am I risking permanent damage?

I always do the scoop thing exercise and yesterday the top left side of my spine started to hurt so I came here to see that its a bad exercise but I realised its probably because of the way I lay down in bed sometimes and my neck was at the worst positions I hope I won't have anything serious I am just gonna leave it for a few days and if it doesn't get any better I am gonna see a doctor

Excellent work on the videos, I have taken a ton of notes and studied almost two dozen exercises. As you suggested, I will consider providing scheduling the series for different days of the week depending on the specialty of the exercise or eliminate certain exercises that are covered by the more complicated ones.

A serious question - how is the -wrap around rear delt row- different to face pulls using the rope? His arms seem to end up in a lower vertical position here when compared to his other videos on rope face pulls. Are these two exercises hitting different areas, or are they two approaches for the same goal?

I thought I knew how to workout after playing multiple sports all the way through college. I really can't thank you enough for this library of information that's helping me get back into shape very quickly!

Never seen that shoulder machine before. It looks insane to really to push over your max rep range to get some serious gains without much risk of injury where it-s fixed. Got to get me a go on that.

Scoop Press-. FANTASTIC. Burns like hell. Having had shoulder impingements I-m really careful about what shoulder exercises I do. This one seems to be really really good. Thank you.

Just a pointer, the camera man needs to take a few steps back on some clips. We don-t know wether your standing or sitting and we can-t see the full range of motion.
