How To Build Boulder Shoulders - Buff Dudes

[@raulmartinezv6500]

Man, you give REAL advice. Best bodybuilding videos on youtube.

[@govou3000]

Hodgetwins just took a shit on your comment

[@dothedeed]

Kevin Junior Mekulu they're more entertainment

[@buffdudes]

Raul Martinez V Thanks!

[@SlatedMoon]

Other than Athlean-X I’d agree. I bet these guys would too. I like that they simplify what Jeff can often complicate.

[@mariotovar951]

10 yrs later and this still holds true

[@Coop772]

Great video! Knowledgeable speaker, great editing, and just the right amount of humor. Thanks for the upload :)

[@buffdudes]

Bob, thank you so much. Appreciate you taking the time in order to sign up and let us know. That helps motivate us and try and out-do ourselves with every video!

[@buffdudes]

Hi Kay. Thank you! Right now we're trying to finish our "How-To" series (we're coming out with Chest, Legs and Abs) where we cover 5 exercises per video. We want to begin what you mentioned where we go in detail covering rep range, time in gym and more. A little more along the lines of our "Arms Day" video we recently released. Thank you for the feedback, it helps us get an idea of what people want to see. Glad you enjoy the vids!

[@buffdudes]

No, but we absolutely love working out and have been editing for years. We wanted to create some kind of program which could be entertaining and instructional and we finally got around to start doing it. We're BEYOND happy that the response has been positive and we're gonna try and keep topping ourselves with every one.

[@mmmyeahh]

I came from the back workout... Loved it ! And that's why I am now watching the shoulder routine... thanks Buff Dudes !

[@buffdudes]

Hi Cyprus! Good question. On our "How-To" vids we're trying to stick with 5 great exercises per bodypart and why we feel they're a great addition to your workout. We're going to begin having an "In The Gym" series (like our recent 'Arms Day' video) and we'll cover rep range, length of time in the gym and more.

[@buffdudes]

Hi Dave! Gonna wrap up Chest & Legs How-To and then it'll be a Supps vid. Glad you like the channel, thank you!

[@justanaverageperson544]

Thank you so much. My shoulders are permanent residents of snap city. You guys are by far the best and most straightforward knowledgeable fitness channels out there.

[@buffdudes]

Hi Joel, next week we'll be coming out with our Chest video and the week after that Legs. We haven't shot one for calves yet but that, along with abs, are on the way!

[@buffdudes]

Good suggestion, thanks Ganga. We will definitely try and do individual exercise vids in the future to go further into depth.

[@buffdudes]

We definitely will! We have a 'Daily Routine' vid but we will be adding one for bulking and one for cutting very soon!

[@buffdudes]

Thanks man, glad you like the channel!

[@josian116]

Shoulders workout is one Of my favorite body parts To train

[@buffdudes]

Thank you Kareem, and glad the workout felt great!

[@buffdudes]

Awesome idea, Blackfuneral! We agree. Trying to make our vids as entertaining as possible has been the goal since the beginning and we want to try and get another "Arnie & Stallone" video out there which will blow away the first one!

[@buffdudes]

Gabriel, thank you, we really appreciate it! Take it easy.

[@buffdudes]

Nice! Glad you like it, Joe!

[@josephazz]

favorite fitness channel ive come across on youtube thus far.... real dudes giving some solid advice and explaining form and purpose.................... thumbs up!

[@buffdudes]

They're coming soon! We've been talking to someone about making some for us. We will let you know when they're finished.

[@Steelyz]

I really like how genuine you are in this video.

[@buffdudes]

Cool, glad you got a chance to check us out!

[@buffdudes]

Nice! Glad you like it, Northstar.

[@buffdudes]

Thanks bro, glad you like the vids!

[@MrJattsoorma1]

These guys should be getting a ton more views. Very creative and informative videos from two down to earth guys.

[@gsteiner9]

best shoulder workout vid ive watched, you guys will be the biggest and best workout channel on youtube

[@buffdudes]

Hell yeah! Glad you like it. More vids comin' soon!

[@brandonmyleswhite]

DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is natural. If you feel your not getting the full benefit of your shoulder workout due to soreness, then I would suggest you change the days in which you hit shoulders I.E. - Monday - Legs, Tuesday - Shoulders, take 2 days off, then Friday - chest & triceps, Sat - back & biceps, Sunday - off. Just a quick write up but you get the idea. Hope this helps Sean!

[@buffdudes]

Thanks Asum!!

[@buffdudes]

Hey Picklez! We'll be doing a Supplement video very soon. Gonna put out a Chest and Legs How-To and then the Supps one.

[@buffdudes]

Thank you!

[@29Soneca]

Buff Dude What do you think about this kind of workout routine: A: Chest/Triceps/Shoulders B: Back/Biceps/Trapz/Forearm C: Legs Doing A: monday/thursday B: tuesday/friday C:wendsday/saturday Do u prefer the old kind of 1 muscle per day ?

[@stecookie91]

KayRuh, what i get from watching their videos is (and they can correct me if i'm wrong) that they tend to do 4 sets of each exercise, doing 8-12 reps depending on the weight with 60-90 second rest periods in between. Although if you are weak in one area it might be worth taking a little more time to train that specific area.

[@brandonmyleswhite]

Thanks for the comment Behindspace90. To answer your critiques - The posterior deltoids ARE worked during an over head press due to the full extension (even slightly hyper extension) in the top position of the overhead press, not merely used to stabilize. We never claimed that the medial deltoids are never a secondary muscle group when strictly working shoulders, simply that the medial delts aren't a secondary muscle used when working muscle groups other than deltoids. Hope this helped!

[@buffdudes]

Hi! Yes, food & nutrition vids coming soon! They are some of our favorite segments to shoot and we have some great recipes coming soon (healthy pizza & cookies) in addition to a "Daily Bulking" video and a "Cutting" one as well.

[@buffdudes]

Thanks man, more vids on the way!

[@buffdudes]

6'2". Thanks for the compliment!

[@brandonmyleswhite]

Yes, it definitely can. I would recommend cycling your overhead presses, one week barbell, the next week use dumbbells. One good thing about dumbbells is that you get a fuller range of motion (being able to bring the DB's together at the top position) and also hitting more of those small "stabilizer" muscles.

[@adamk3520]

I like upright rows with dumbells... prevents elbows from going above the shoulder subsequently preventing repeated RTC impingement with each rep...

[@locolopelocolope]

Probably the most comprehensive shoulder vid I´ve seen, thanks a lot.

[@moe7610]

I used to watch Buff Dudes' videos when I was a teenager in high school. Here I am almost 30 and still relying on Buff Dudes to go to the gym.

[@Moviemakerjohn]

you are right there about how it doesnt help chest or triceps, but as in the description of this video and in the beggining, he says "iff you want a classic V-Tapper" i know that pull ups arnt much of a shoulder workout but they do help the appearence of the V-Tapper

[@SuperReflexez]

When you do the lateral side raise with dumbbells it will feel more in your traps. Try holding a plate with only your fingers and do it as they instructed. Use a light plate.

[@lacasse1029]

nice simple to understand been bodybuilding for years 20 now the only thing that I would add is to discuss the proper weight to use it is individual for everybody depending on their time spent in the gym but for people like my son who told me about your vids that aspect would be important to speak about my bad if you have already done that.Cheers

[@intothenight5932]

definitely my favourite fitness channel on youtube

[@wonsyloves]

Your tip on how to do the side lateral raise really saved my a$$ For months now it has been the only exercise to give me consistent pain due to me lifting with the hands instead of with the elbows. I thought I was forever doomed to suffer from weak side laterals and remain in a constant state of pain. You really have done me a solid Kudos to you guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@GiampaoloMiraglia]

These old videos give me nostalgia...

[@Moviemakerjohn]

depends on how you are working your chest, there are multiple variations of chest workouts... machines for me used to cause pain, i would do chest flys and i would hurt my upper arms and chest, but i started to workout my shoulders and neck to prevent swinging out of position during the workout... Some workouts for the chest i would suggest are; Pushups(overall) BenchPress (For mass and strength) Chest Flys (for definition) diamond Pushups (middle diamond like core in your chest)

[@TSXineta]

Hey Buff Dudes! Just so you know, i've been doing the bradford movement in my shoulder workout, and it really ROCKS! Such an awesome exercise... Helped me a lot!

[@brandonmyleswhite]

The program that worked best for us is Monday - super setting chest/back, Tuesday - super setting biceps/triceps, Wednesday - legs/calves, Thursday - shoulders/forearms, and Friday - chest/back again. Saturday is optional for the golden five compound exercises or just legs/calves.

[@WADYNASTY77]

I have to say that the buff Dude videos are by far the most informative and simple videos to watch in order to get the physique you desire i hate the videos where the person is talking alot of shit on this and that and u get a good 2 minutes of info out of a 20 minute video keep it up Buff Dudes

[@vcuteverything]

I gotta say the production quality of your videos are on a different level than those of other fitness channels. Are you all sponsored?

[@audieswu]

On DB side raise I also like to ensure I keep my pinky's up, by doing so it puts the tension on the medial delts...Awesome vid!

[@marielouisechristensen8395]

I might be a buff dudess, but I really benefit from your videos. This Shoulder video was just what I needed for some inspiration to shake up my routine a bit! Can't wait to hit the gym later!

[@megametalpriest]

There is like NOTHING wrong with this video. Content-wise it is perfect, and it should never get any dislikes.

[@brandonmyleswhite]

Thanks for the suggestion Ganga Slaya! We will definitely remember that for future episodes.

[@NineLivesMusic]

Clear and concise, thanks!!

[@buffdudes]

Thank you Ash! Yeah, we better soak it up while we can!! ;-)

[@FreakOFitness]

I did you're shoulder routine, and i can say it feels great! Gonna keep that in my routine for a few months, when is the chest vid comming up?! Greetings from The Netherlands!

[@johnmcafoos4090]

I'm glad you mentioned Tom Hardy. What a freakin beast. The movie Warrior always gets my motivation going to workout...

[@richardrider6246]

same here man

[@flagshipphotos2730]

I did your your shoulder 5 steps, I added 3 more exercises but totally enjoyed it!

[@brandonmyleswhite]

I would recommend you evaluate your fitness/bodybuilding goals in order to build a proper workout program. If you would like to build size I suggest you decrease the amount of muscle groups you work in one day. That way you can focus more energy per body group. Ive had a lot of success with pairing up opposing muscle groups. Also incorporating the high volume training method 4 to 5 sets staying in the hypertrophy rep range 8 - 12.

[@aznminhtran]

These videos need more views ! Gotta share it people !

[@Magani79]

the vids are getting better and better !! this channel is growing and i like it lol

[@angerfist00]

Been on youtube for tips for over a year 20mins here i know he was the best

[@WaterPokefreak]

Im sold on this channel man Is simple yet effective

[@timmyturnerssss]

these are my favorite workout videos, you're the man

[@loldudeno]

one of the best fitness channels

[@bobgaff9929]

You Buff Dudes make some kick ass videos. I singed up for a You Tube account just so I could tell you guys: Thanks for all the videos, I really enjoy watching them.

[@musiclover520]

very professional and detailed video to introduce the shoulder excercise

[@adnromero18]

Been working out for close to a year and just seen this Bradford press for the first time

[@seanmetcalfe5305]

Dear buff dudes, i have a question. I generally workout chest and triceps together. I take a day off then work back and biceps. I take another day off then I work shoulders. My problem is, that My triceps and or traps are sore on shoulder day. How can i fix this issue? I do not want to overtrain. Any kind of answer would be greatly appreciated. P.s. i wrote this on my phone :p

[@pizdecki]

Hey Buff dudes! I tried this workout today and it was amazing! ARghhh it burns and I will definitely feel it tomorrow haaha. I can honestly say that Lying Delt Raise is my favourite when it comes down to shoulder workout. Keep these videos coming. Thanks Again!

[@OneWayGrunge]

Upright Rows: I had this pain in the shoulder while doing this exercise for about 3-4months . But now I still do this exercise and the pain is gone. I think I had very good luck.

[@MarineCorps885]

Your vids keep getting better and better. love them, keep it up!

[@15jeisson]

dude bro, awesome vid, the big workout beast mode is insane in every update vid of us, thats going u better. Greetings and congratulations from Colombia men. U ROCK ON!!!!

[@PatrikN793]

Looks like a great workout, never tried the lying delt raise, will try it!

[@josephazz]

lying cable raise is a fucking game changer tried em for the first time this shoulder day and loved it.... thanks dudes

[@MrSnowbording]

would be super handy and convenient if there was a Buff Dudes mobile App

[@silverdc5]

Sean Humen check out their patreon page, I believe they will be working on it once certain amount is reached

[@brandonmyleswhite]

That can be the case for some people. In my opinion behind the neck exercises can be done in a safe manner and be very beneficial. If you have a shoulder impingement, I would stay away from any over head press or behind the neck press.

[@tgrg0605]

Dudes, greetings from MD. Just found you guys. Great videos. High quality. Love it

[@KatanaNoNamida]

I just noticed but they correct their form for ohp in later videos, nice to see the progress.

[@brandonmyleswhite]

No not necessarily. The reason I go wider on the overhead press is that for my particular musculature and skeletal structure, going wider is more comfortable for me and puts more emphasis on the shoulder muscles and less on the joint. Try different hand grips and see how it feels. Thanks for the comment seanmannion7!

[@chocolaterain8137]

Why would someone dislike this hes clearly showing you how to get boulder shoulders

[@GunGlutton]

why does my right wrist pop when doing upright rows?

[@chicoti3]

is it normal to feel the lats when doing upright rows?

[@JH-pi3hc]

Zerofodão no, your hands should be gripping the bar

[@genetic00011]

Barbell is pretty harsh I find using the cable machine with rope attachment works great

[@allpower96]

To strengthen the wrists, do farmer carries or forearm work or ten second hold deadlifts just barely lifting the barbell with weight like and inch of the ground. Purpose of that is to perfect form when deadlifting, strengthen the hamstrings and grip strength. Don't use Dumbbells cause it's harder to control. The barbel helps it be more isolated.

[@basalicandrei3866]

do it with the EZ bar...wide grip...its way better for your wrists. Trust me...i had the same problem. and dont let the bar all the way down...so you ont stress the rist so much

[@CaptainManic2010]

really appreciate the time and effort taken explaining all of this. love the videos. I wanna be a buff dude when i grow up.

[@29Soneca]

Best channel of fitness on youtube

[@lascarmonty]

He said that you have to aim them directly (meaning that when you work back and pecs or whatever except shoulders directly, the medial head isn't really being worked out... also, upright rows with a large grip are exactly to work the medial head and the trapezius... so he wasn't in any way controversial.

[@brandonmyleswhite]

We will be coming out with chest day next week! I have never personally done a Yates row, but what I know about it is that it is more upright than a standard row and puts more emphasis on the traps. Whenever you do an exercise you always have to ask yourself, "why am I doing this exercise and what does it do for me?". If the particular exercise will help you in achieving your goals, do it!

[@jjenson2006]

Never go behind the neck with the overhead press. It will destroy your rotator cuffs.

[@jjenson2006]

***** I have been lifting heavy weights for over 30 years. I don't know who you are but an easy guess judging from your post is that you're a teenage punk who lives with his Mom. I have a lot of experience lifting and getting injuries. My guess is the only experience you have is popping pimples on your neck and TRYING desperately to act tough on the internet.

[@shoefreak3454]

Alright my bad, didn't know you had so much experience. I thought you were some kid who just wanted any excuse to bitch. Much respect for lifting for 30 years.

[@elcardenalgasponte1881]

jjenson2006 Tell that to Dmitry Klokov...

[@jjenson2006]

El Cardenal Gasponte Just because other people do them does not mean they are good for you. Some people are double jointed and can do them without a problem. Others know how far they are able to go down without harm (usually ear level). Most people will go down as far as they can, which is what does the damage. Take a stick that is light such as a broomstick and make pretend you are doing the behind the neck press exactly how you would grab the bar and see how far you can go down comfortably.You will find that anything lower than ear level is uncomfortable because that is the point where your joints start to dislocate; not a natural movement. If you do this with heavy weight, it will seem much easier to go lower because the weight is FORCING the bar down. This is why this movement is so dangerous on your joints. Dmitry is only 31. I am 49. I am almost 20 years older than him. Maybe he is doing his presses with perfect form, or maybe he is double jointed; or maybe he'll be experiencing damaged rotator cuffs in the near future. You can't put a price on experience. Be smart and learn from those who've already been there. I wish I could go back in time and somehow convince myself that I shouldn't do them so that today I wouldn't be living in pain that never seems to go away.

[@Dagbar666]

jjenson2006 Thanks for sharing this. Indeed, people today are all black and white; ''If it doesn't snap, it's okay.'' . They seldom consider long term damage because... hey, they saw them do it on TV, can't be wrong! Anyway. It's great to have actual feedback that helps sort out the real, useful info on this internet jungle.

[@Nailey13]

There is no "medial" head of the deltoid. There is an anterior, a LATERAL and a posterior head. The term "medial" refers to something that is closer to the midline of the body.

[@HungryLikeTheWolf70]

Hey man loving your videos keep them coming. You've probably been asked this but could you do a video of the difference between high reps and low reps possibly ?

[@wheredah0odat]

Thanks Brandon. Keep up the great channel! you guys deserve more subscribers. Hope to see more videos soon!

[@UnDisclozed]

Subscribed! Buff Dudes know what they are talking about & dude is hilarious

[@MrMultifunc]

The upright barbell row can also be done by using Dumbbells instead

[@firedude384]

Awesome tips ,I really needed some workouts for the side delts ,definitely subscribing .

[@marioortiz9389]

Buff Dudes are the shit! they need longer videos though maybe some nutrition here and there

[@Joel980980]

Haha, love these vids. So the cable keeps tension at all times so.... yeah, just do'em.

[@brandonmyleswhite]

Hi apellteck masterr, its hard to say how long it will take. It mainly depends on your genetic potential for gaining shoulder size. I would suggest staying on a strict program for up to 3 months before you see any major gains.

[@VPIZZLE1]

Love the vids guys! Can't wait for the legs, chest, and abs.
