The Best Way to End Your Shoulder Workout

When it comes to metabolic overload to create muscle hypertrophy, the mechanical drop set that I show you i this video is going to light up your shoulders like never before. Remember, it’s not just about feeling the burn, but about reveling in the burn. Normally, when you feel that burn, you’d think it’s time to stop. However, I like to say that this is where the set begins. You have to endure that burn until you cannot move the dumbbells anymore, then it is time to perform a mechanical drop set so that you can continue through failure.

This mechanical drop set is perfectly suited to act as a finisher to your shoulder workout and to create a metabolic stress that you likely haven't experienced before. Not only that, but it is a quick way to increase the amount of volume in your shoulder workout without adding much extra time. You simply take one exercise to failure and immediately move to the next one.

This mechanical drop set utilizes exercises that get easier and easier to perform as you get more and more fatigued throughout the set. You start with a dumbbell scoop press which will isolate the front delts. Once you reach failure, it's time to give the front delts a reprieve by performing a high pull with the same pair of dumbbells. This will help to isolate the middle and rear delts, giving you the ability to target all 3 heads of the shoulders throughout the drop set.

Once you reach failure on the high pulls, you then drop one of the dumbbells and start to perform sideways figure 8's. This will bring attention back to the front delts while also hammering away at the middle delts in the process. After you've reached failure on this exercise, you simply perform a single dumbbell press out to failure.

This is a superb way to push yourself to and through failure when training your shoulders as well as introducing metabolic overload, which like I said before, is likely a novel stimulus to many people training.

At 61, I don’t have much time to make mistakes, recover from them, and figure it all out. Appreciate the straight up, top notch help (experience/knowledge), in avoiding any waste of time. Economy of movement, and getting straight to gains is immense, when trying to fight chronic joint/back/neck pain. Nothing has really helped with pain, but avoiding injury, and recognizing actual gains is invaluable. Mahalo brah💪🤙🤙🤙

Just incredible! You stay humble despite the right to be proud.

I do the "scoop press" with cables. It also works the biceps in an isometric position, in addition to the anterior delts. Good exercise!

20 min without rest and after that 1-2min on the sandbag and you can bet everyone was laying flat on the ground

How many reps to aim for to achieve failure? That will determine what weights to use.

I work shoulders twice a week. Should I do this on each or one of them?

Why not add in something for rear delts? Seems like a lot for front delts?

Or just do the tried and true stuff that is proven to work and produce results: shoulder press (dumbbells or bar), side lateral raises and rear delt flies ( dumbbells or cables)
