Good old times when standing dumbbell rotations were meta before gravity was invented

[muffinman]

dude your editors work is amazing. The little edits highlighting the muscles and what not are just top notch and make your videos super helpful

I may be dumb. But I'll never be that guy who's standing in the corner of a gym waving a dumbell left to right.

Fun fact: Waiter curls are called that way because you will wait quite long for the results

[davidfuller]

I agree with everything except tank tucked into shorts .

Number 3 was a good tip for fixing a shoulder issue I'm currently facing.

i agree with everything except the rack pulls. coming from a physiotherapy perspective. rack pulls can be a great alternative to regress the deadlift if you want to try keep the movement in the program until your back injury heals.

i struggle with generic sciatica and hurt my back while deadlifting. i switched it to a rack pull for two weeks to rehab the back and now im back deadlifting stronger than ever.

I think rack pulls are great for building grip strength but agree about doing other things for traps.

Look like an old school grandpa still working out at 80 with those wardrobe choices. Love it

Bro is getting too big for a science based lifter

[jessekulju]

Agree with waiter curls and external rotation exercises but rack pulls are not useless because u can overload ur upper back muscles with it. And front raises are good time under tension exercise for front delts.

Thank you for the livestream Mr. Lee and Mr. Fleece!!! 🙏

Front raise - depends on your program and physique. You may abdolutely need more anterior delt work
Waiter curls - trash
Dumbbell rotations - trash
Above knee rack pulls - useful for powerlifters having problems at lockout and for developing deadlift grip strength (if use without straps or with fat grips)

DB external rotations in a side plank position are solid too!

[MKLev]

Weird front raises helped me out so much for my chest days

[Citizen_of_the_Kingdom]

The “waiter curls” instead grab the DB as a wheel and curl it from in front of hip to behind the neck, to the triceps stretched position. I do these as a mobility style warm up for my upper body it helps keep my elbows and shoulders from becoming a a rice krispy treat. You can also do this lying down to get a really solid pump in the chest and lats / serratus muscle (or however its spelled, who needs big brain when you have big muscles and big heart (LVH is a serious condition don’t take that lightly brothers)

[Jeromesketch]

I don’t know but front raises did wonders for me
