How To Get WIDER Shoulders (3 Training Mistakes Youre Probably Making)

Wider, broader looking shoulders are one of the most sought after bodily features that most men aim to achieve. This is likely because wider shoulders not only accentuate a powerful looking upper body, but bigger shoulders also create the appearance of a smaller waist as a result. And although genetics will play some role in how wide your shoulders appear, you can definitely add further width to them by targeting the lateral deltoids with proper shoulder exercises and wider shoulder workouts. Given that the lateral deltoids comprise the middle portion of your shoulders, adding more size to them will create the effect of wider looking shoulders. However, even if you choose the right broad shoulder workout, you want to make sure you are performing them optimally in order to see the best results. In this video I go through 3 of the most common shoulder training mistakes preventing people from getting bigger shoulders. First, you want to ensure youre varying the resistance curve applied to your shoulders during your shoulder workouts. This is done by choosing the right shoulder exercises. Rather than exclusively sticking to dumbbell lateral raises, incorporate some cable lateral raises since the cables enable tension to be applied to the shoulder throughout the whole range of motion. You can rotate between the two shoulder exercises throughout the week and/or perform both exercises during your shoulder training. Next, you want to ensure that during the lateral raise that youre not leading with your hands. At the top position, if your hands are higher than your elbows then youre performing more external rotation which isnt the main function of the shoulder and is instead involves more of the rotator cuff. To fix this, simply think about driving up with your elbows and having your hands stay inline with the elbow at the top position. Lastly, during your shoulder exercises you need to make sure that youre not letting the traps takeover the movement as you perform them. For example, during the overhead shoulder press or lateral raise, as you lift the weight up you want to make sure your shoulders arent shrugging up and tensing at the upper traps as you do so. Instead, keep the upper traps relaxed and pulled down before and throughout the movement. As I say quite often, if you want to see the best results then its vital that you choose the right exercises and variations. But, even more importantly isthat you apply them correctly within your routine.

The moment I saw this video title I knew the error in information which was coming. Contrary to what you describe at 2: 00 minutes in, the dumbbell side lateral has far higher muscle fibre activation during the bottom of the movement than you think. and sometimes greater than the cable side lateral. The reason? Because you have only considered gravity in your analysis, but have completely omitted the parameter of inertia. Mass that is not in motion requires force to get it moving and accelerate it into motion, and this has absolutely nothing to do with gravity. And once in motion, it takes force to slow it down again. This means, at the bottom of the dumbbell lateral raise, immense instantaneous force is required to initiate the motion of the dumbells. Furthermore, once you are into the set, every time the dumbells come down, your delts have to ARREST that momentum and reverse the direction to go back up again. These two effects together more than account for the changes in gravitational force you mention. If a car is rolling towards you on a flat road, and you have to arrest that motion and push it back away from you, the force you exert against the car is not against gravity. it is against the momentum and intertial energy of the moving car. Capiche?

I have to say, This gentleman is by far the best trainer, teacher, etc in working out etc, Ive seen a lot of videos of other experts' but they dont come close. Jeremy, Goes by clinical trials which tells you in black and white, what works and what doesnt work instead of wasting time and money in the gym doing everything wrong. Im blown away. ps, the dislikes are probably from soy boys like Antifa that are against working out

The workout he called mistakes are done by us in basketball at university, tranings designed by our coaches lmao.
Btw, I do not want to critic him, however he is himself not wider at all, his shoulder are BIGGER, not wider.
If you want and really desire wider shoulder, its wither genetic or go in a pool/lake and swim 4 times a week, especially backstroke/butterfly

The only problem I have with the cable lateral raise is that Im already using the lowest weight on the machine, so when I fatigue I cant lower the weight anymore. I just started doing them instead of dumbbells and can only get 8 reps each set so I cant drop the weight to try for higher reps. I guess Ill just have to stick with 8 reps until I get stronger with them

If dumbbells give less resistance than cables in the lateral raise, can't you just compensate with more weight?
I exercise at home and don't have access to cables. I guess I could get some rubber bands, but I'm not sure how convenient those are when I need to increase resistance?

It's so hard for me to get any bigger. I feel like my muscles are all maxed out or plateaued. Im 6'1 and 175lbs with about 14%-16% body fat. My muscles wont grow anymore. I have a daily caloric surplus and consume about my body weight or more in protein daily too. Arghhhhh: (

4: 50 Lead with elbows instead of with hands. Dont let hands be higher than elbows
6: 00 Dont let traps get involved. Combat this by keeping traps down and back before you start. More tips on combatting occur til 6: 36

Noticed I get occasional pain in my rear part of my shoulder/cuff after doing these even with 5kg. Notice my traps get sore/tight during it and its hit and miss if my shoulders pump/feel the effect. Great advice!

Awesome, even the smallest details can add so much. Totally feel the difference after just changing my thumbgrip on this exercise and mentally leading with the elbows. Cheers!

The cable machine makes my shoulders feel like they are on fire. Dumbbells not so much although I finish with dumbbell lateral raises
