How To Build Capped Shoulders: Optimal Training Explained (Side Delts)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In this video we're looking at how to build round, capped, 3D shoulders with proper technique on the lateral raise while avoiding injury by fixing mistakes The New: I've always liked doing this exercise how Jeff Cavaliere recommends doing it. He recommends pausing your movement at about 30 degrees on the way up, as this avoids allowing you to use momentum from the bottom portion of the movement (which is the easiest portion of the movement) and makes the exercise harder. I really have felt far greater muscle activation in the medial head when doing this exercise. I never felt the muscle work as strongly before as I have when doing it like this, and I have seen vast improvements in the development of my shoulders. I really didn't even have visible shoulder muscles until I began doing this exercise like this 4 or 5 months ago, now my shoulder span looks noticeably wider and I can see my shoulders starting to take that round shape. I feel like doing it this way just works the muscle so much harder. I have also heard that it is good to slightly lean forward at the hips by about 5 or 10 degrees, as doing it straight vertical will involve the front delts a bit at the expense of the maximum use of the medial delts.

Since there is constant tension on the whole range of the leaning cable lateral raise, leaning away would seem unnessesary, you'd still have tension on the bottom portion, unlike if you did it with dumbbells. On a nother note - focusing on the medial head compared to the supraspinatus, would make sence from a bodybuilding perspective at least in short term, but in the long run, I've seen problems occuring when the delt becomes too dominant compared to the stabilizing and depressing act of the rotator cuff, including the supraspinatus. So personally I'd be cautious about giving the big muscles too much focus if that would mean stimulating the rotator cuff less.

stop being informataive altogether and do only bro-douche bodybuilding vids. Talk dum and show nonstop douchebag workouts. your inclusion of that guy is amazing. ALPHA DESTINY: has a video aout proper lat raise form. with the use of external rotation and leaning forward. cuz the trad. lat raise is pretty sketchy for shoulders. He refers to not pouring water a number of times. I have tried it and it is quite comfortable, as I have a permanently damaged left rot cuff. ANyhow, am curious if nippard has seen it.

This is the best video on shoulders I've seen. Noticed that you do slightly internally rotate, but I appreciate your explanation of why, but even appreciate it more that you let people know that it could cause shoulder impingement based on research. IMO a very slight internal rotation can be beneficial if you don't already have shoulder impingement issues, you stick to light weights with higher volume, and you do corrective exercises that strengthen the antagonist muscles.

Lateral raises are a complete waste of time. If you are not on steroids they will build only a little bit of muscle mass. Furthermore our shoulder joint was not meant to execute such a movement which is why you can only use extremely light weights and a lot of people are getting shoulder pain from it. The side delts function is to stabilise on your pusbing and pulling exercises such as ohp's, dips or barbell bent over rows not to actually move the arm laterally.

Jeff I think you should differentiate more between the shots where the exercise is performed correctly and those that represent the wrong execution or are meant in a humorous way. As they are shown in sequence, its hard to tell which one is meant to be correct and which one not and Im sure that some viewers might mix them up, especially the shot where you were violently banging the weights up and down, as this is actually a very common malpractice in every gym.

Only issue with this videoThe middle delt is not designed anatomically to be the primary mover when the shoulder is internally rotated. Jeffs advice is complete bro-science and not in line with what kinesiology says about the lateral delts range of motion. Your thumbs should start parallel to the floor and move their way to perpendicular at the top of the range of motion. Never pour the pitcher. That can lead to shoulder impingement.

I'm so glad you mentioned the ability to progressively increase overload by improving technique and mind muscle connection. So many people think that you can only increase load on the muscles by adding weight. This is one of those moves I so often see people doing with terrible form because they're trying to move way too much weight.

One thing. If your shoulders grow bigger then your waist is smaller and this is not illusion, as compare to test of your body they will be smaller. Waist size is not small or big by it's absolute size. For example Arnold waist was 86 cm which is not that small if you think about number but with relation to his 155 cm chest is small.

omg=====no more upright row and wft was that bench bs. people I am sure this man is a great person but don't listen to this because he has no idea what he is doing or talking about. these exercises or the way he does them are NOT DONE this way anymore due to injury -please check proper techniques-----NO> is your thumbs MUST BE UP
