The «momentum» lateral raise example is just hilarious ;)

[carissawong]

Timestamps, getting straight into the video, and so much information. Thanks, Eugene!

3:35 what the hell is going on here.. lmfao... 🤣 🤣 🤣 you can't replicate those dance moves.. dang go bwoi

[jeandandrea]

3:28 I love when you demonstrate "Bad form" xD

[angrygoldfish]

That's an interesting idea about the lateral raises. Make the exercise harder by adding slower eccentrics and avoiding momentum as much as possible, but then using a fewer reps than you would normally do.

I found you channel a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve seen nothing but good valuable information that I have applied to my training. I want to say a big thanks for making these vids Eugene!

I’m really loving your analytically coherent approach on how muscle fibres and alignment play a massive role in the actual muscle building process. You clearly have an in depth knowledge on the process of hypertrophy. I’m currently specialising in the overhead press and it’s variations along with lateral and rear delt work in the 12-15 set range a week and have never seen so many gains 👌🏻🔥

2:20 - 5-6 years? there we go. finally someone who isn’t claiming days/weeks/months for total transformation. thanks for being realistic my guy.

[sourobhdas]

Thank you, Eugene! I always used to think my shoulder genetics sucked. Always felt lateral raises target my traps, no matter which form I tried. That was before I came across your tip of trying Y-raises supported on the bench. My shoulders have finally started growing. Thank you so much.

Fully agree about rowing for rear delts. I stopped doing rear delt isolation exercises altogether a while ago because I found that lat-focused incline dumbbell rows worked them far better than any isolation exercise ever did. The rear delt pump I get from those is disgustingly huge. That exercise has also been amazing for my lats and back in general, highly recommended it. It’s my favourite back exercise rn

[lyzo]

I 100% agree with what he says at chapter 5 (Momentum & Not Going HEAVY). When I worked out at home, I used a little bit of swinging (side raises) to get the dumbbells up and slow eccentrics, to really hit the delts. Nowadays I train at the gym and I use really light weights for cable side raises. Since then, my delts haven't had much growth.
Gotta start incorporating heavy side delt work into my workouts once again!

[elisteele]

I completely agree about the lateral raises. I didn't see anywhere near the gains I wanted until I did slow reps at that incline.

3:32. Rock solid form, Uncle Eugene. Thanks for the visual!

[stevenstover]

This video is dope, the info is awesome

[dennism.]

No matter how long you've been working out, there is always something new to learn. Subbed.

[riggz]

Just have to give you so many props. Just got a one year subscription to your app!! Beyond worth it! The information your app has is priceless.

You're the GOAT. I've seen enough

[Killerkraft]

I recently looked at my physique and thought alot deeper on why per month basis I didn't look any bigger (I focus on powerlifting so I think about the weight alot more than my body, though I do some body building aspects after compound). I recorded my sets and after watching this video and others you've put out, is like a new world that I've been exposed to

[Jellyyy]

Really appreciate your content, I tried the tucked in elbows on shoulder press and it felt so much better, the y raises were also amazing and permanently in my routine. Just made my whole split so much better, thank you

[yashchakravarty]

So many flashy fitness content creators out here on YT. Not many deliver quality vids with top notch tips and information whilst keeping it simple and minimalistic. Hats off Eugene 👏🏻
