This was one of your best videos, largely because of cutting away to all the other clips

[slimbrady]

Love the emphasis on working the rear delt. That’s really the final piece to having rounded shoulders. It also helps with posture which makes you’re chest look bigger.

[tumbleweedconnection]

Wide grip upright rows done with a slight lean forward and pulling the bar only as high as the lower chest does a great job hitting the side delts and eliminates basically all the risk often associated with standard upright rows.

[NatalieLawrence]

Thanks for this. I’ve been having physio for my shoulders and found shoulder presses bring back all the old problems, so I’ve been looking for alternatives.

[kevinarmes]

I really like the video clip examples and the newer setup. Very cool!

[eldirtyfaygo]

This is what I needed. I got my shoulders stronger with cables but they don't have the 3d pop, they have this front dominant look like the guy saying he had weak shoulders. I guess I gotta attack it from behind and make them pop!

[BP-]

I just started doing alternating sets with high pulls and presses. Seems to be working well.

[rabbychan]

Ok, so upright rows are not damaging to your shoulders?
Because I'm hearing from many bodybuilders that it is, I'd like to be 100% sure about this.

[pretty_flaco]

warm up with face pulls then snatch grip high pulls for triples

[oldsoul]

It's true. The day i started doing one arm rear delt raise using heavy weight, my shoulders were on other levels.

[SaiRose]

Hands down safest way to build shoulders without pressing is neutral grip front raises, light side raises and rear delt raises/flies. If you do the upright row do them with the rope handle holding the rope with each hand like you would a coffee mug handle lifting to collarbone height leaning forward slightly. Rope can be attached to a cable, kettlebell, dumbbell or plates.

cable upright row superset with dumbbell lateral raises

[davidfreeman]

What about exercises for the rotator cuff?

[ahappyimago]

The guy is right. The rear delt is key!!

[oscarcanales]

How do I work around a partially torn rotator cuff? Help please

[charliebroussard]

I feel like most ppl diagnose themselves with shoulder issues, and skip overhead stuff because it's too hard. They would rather do their 20-rep lateral raises than 4x10 overhead press. I've had multiple clients overhead press their BW after rotator cuff surgery. If you want big shoulders, you gotta fricking press overhead. It's like trying to get big legs but you don't wanna squat.

[taylorallen]

Pushups consistently will get your shoulders right

[goodes]

Can you a do a building legs without squats, I have back problems from concreting and squats are just to much for my lower back

[BJTFD]

As soon as he started talking about rear dealts my antennas when all the way up. Really don’t like pal my shoulders feel cat except when I turn to the side. Lol let’s go!!
