How I Grew Wider Shoulders FAST (5 Science-Based Tips)

Wider shoulders are one of the most important parts of a well developed physique. But most people struggle with how to get wide shoulders - myself included. A few months ago I challenged myself to see just how much I could grow my shoulders if I used the right shoulder exercises (such as lateral raises) and the right training plan. I'll be honest, my shoulders have never looked better. Here's exactly what I did.

The first tweak has to do with exercise selection. While the front delts and rear delts are helpful to build overall shoulder mass, the key to getting wider, broader shoulders from the front and back view is to grow the side delts. And what came out on top when we tested 17 shoulder exercises to see which ones best activated the 3 different regions of the shoulder in a past video? Lateral raises. But I didn’t just do your typical lateral raise. You see, there’s been a lot of new research on “muscle stretch” and how it can help you build muscle faster. The problem with your typical dumbbell lateral raise is they’re hardest at the top when the shoulder is fully contracted. The opposite of what we’re looking for. So my “secret” weapon was the behind the body cable lateral raises. I stand in front and slightly to the side so my delt is fully stretched and challenged the most when in this position.
Next up, training volume. Generally, research suggests it takes muscles around 36-48 hours to fully recover. This would mean if you wanted to maximize growth, you could train the same muscle up to a max of about 3 or 4 times a week. So what did I do to get wider shoulders? While I definitely could have bumped it up to 3 times a week, twice a week fit my workout routine better and still worked incredibly well because of the other tweaks you’ll learn about. As for actual volume? On one day, I’d do 4 sets of the dumbbell lateral raise either standing or on a bench, and then a few days later I’d train them with another 4 sets but using the cable lateral raise mentioned earlier.
The next tip to get bigger shoulders has to do with weight. The further away a weight is from the joint that is moving it, the heavier it will feel. This is what makes even a really lightweight feel extremely heavy during lateral raises. For me personally as soon as I try to go above 35 lb dumbbells I start to cheat way too much. To avoid this, I took advantage of the fact that research suggests you can use a light weight and do up to 30 reps with it before it becomes too light and less effective for growth. To apply this, I’d stick with the same weight and only once I could do at least 15-20 reps with good, controlled form on all of my sets would I then jump up by 5 lbs and repeat the process. But guys, it’s crucial you don’t rush this process.
Next tip on how to get wider shoulders: intensity. Honestly, this is the tweak I think made the biggest difference. A study shows that for the side delts to reach full muscle activation during lateral raises, subjects had to push to at least within around 3-5 reps short of complete failure. And to maximize growth, plenty of research suggests each of your sets need to be taken to at least within 3 reps of complete failure. Problem is, I guarantee that during your lateral raises many of you are stopping well short of this. Trust me, even if you think you’re done and even when your shoulders are burning, you’ve still got more.
The last piece of advice, while not strictly related to your shoulder workout training, is the most important. It has to do with my diet. A recent meta-analysis suggests that a calorie surplus is likely necessary to maximize growth. For those following me on Instagram ( jeremyethier ), you know I’ve been bulking for almost a year now. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been mentally tough seeing more fat gain over the months. But I’ve noticed a big difference in my muscle size. And, once I diet to lose the excess fat, I guarantee that my shoulder gains will become even more noticeable. So if you truly want to make noticeable new muscle gains, make sure you’re eating enough. But guys don’t forget to grow your front delts and rear delts as well. These are key to balance out your shoulders and give them that 3D look!

I used to do dumbbell lateral raises for a long time and saw steady progress. The moment I switched to cables however my side delts just exploded in both strength and size. I put on noticeable amount of meat and went up in weight I could lift steadily. If i had to give a few tips: - Do one arm at a time - Use the other hand to grab your oblique on the loaded side, this prevents you from cheating very effectively when done correctly - The distance from the pulley should be big enough so that there is tension in the cable even when you are at the bottom of the movement, you want it to pull on the muscle constantly, it doesn't really matter whether your arm is in front or behind your torso

[@ManicMoe]

Should I stand an arms distance apart?

[@jackconnor6172]

@@ManicMoe Should be enough yea

[@jackconnor6172]

@@Eagle-Striker I agree that the dumbbell variation can be just as effective, but for this particular exercise I find cables to be superior mainly when it comes to cheat prevention. It's not problematic to take an adequate weight and do nice controlled lateral raise with DBs. The problem however arises when you are trying to really push yourself and squeeze out a couple extra reps or go up in weight. If you do the hanging DB raise then you don't have a free arm to grab your core and prevent it from jumping in to aid the movement.

[@akuma4u]

My tip is this: main problem i see is people use too much weight for shoulders and end up using traps or start swinging and end up not working out the shoulders. The shoulders do not need a lot of weight. High volume (15 to 20 reps) lower weight strict form is what gave me great shoulders

Just returning to lifting after 3 years off due to health issues. My other muscles are coming back pretty quickly but my shoulders aren't exactly poppin' and have always been one of my weaker areas. This is exactly what I needed to see, and I will be taking this advice with me to the gym tomorrow.

[@freezedupfrost6064]

Just remember that your muscles grow stronger quicker than your joints so if you do have issues in your shoulder, keep it low weight until it heals properly, losing months of progress because of less weight is better than causing a injury to your muscles by accident

@FreezedUpFrost Thanks for the reply! I had a back surgery and then I've been scheduled, postponed, scheduled, and postponed again to give a kidney to my mom. Was going to wait till we got through all this bit it's been 3 years 2nof which were constant postponements and I was feeling fluffy. Sure enough, as soon as I start seeing some results again the doctors call and want to start our process again!

When I do dumbbell lateral raises, I've found that I get way more bang for my buck if I stop the descent with my arm at about a 10-15 degree angle from my side. Like you pointed out, there is no tension at the bottom. This higher stop helps to keep tension on the delts.

Main Points: 1. Focus on the side delts to get wider, broader shoulders from the front and back view. Use behind-the-body cable lateral raises to challenge the delt the most when in a fully stretched position. 2. Twice a week training volume is sufficient to maximize growth, with 4 sets of dumbbell lateral raises on one day and 4 sets of cable lateral raises on another day. 3. Use a lighter weight and aim for up to 30 reps before increasing weight by 5 lbs. Do not rush this process. 4. Take sets to at least within 3 reps of complete failure to reach full muscle activation during lateral raises and maximize growth. 5. Maintain a calorie surplus in your diet to maximize growth, and balance out your shoulders by also training your front and rear delts.

[@michaelroche3156]

What helped me the most was developing strong mind-muscle connection through weight variation. For example, a side lateral dumbbell flies(raises) : (1) pick up a pair of dumbbells and work to exhaustion with clean form, not failure, maybe 1-2 rep range where you'd normally hit failure. (2) Switch to lower weight and do slower, more controlled reps until you hit that same range of exhaustion, 1-2 reps until failure. (3) Switch to even lower weight and do even slower and controlled repetitions, but do it in a 1 and a half rep fashion for the extra squeeze. What this achieved was progression separation - you can focus on any of these steps and find out your strongest and weakest points, then work out both aspects accordingly.

[@riceshotgun1245]

I really felt the Filipino genetics intro. As a Filipino myself, I have gymbros that I went to the gym with everyday and I lifted the same weight as them and humbly I actually lifted more, we all did same rep ranges and workout split and pushed each other to failure, I just never understood why my shoulders looked so small and ugly while theirs was big and round. I looked at the rest of my family and I guess most Filipinos just don’t have the genetics. Either way i’m still pushing myself and I can only hope to one day have shoulders

[@darkstar19]

Tips I use to blow up my shoulders 1)they recover fast and they're easy to 3 times per week. 2)with side raises you reach form breakdown before you reach failure so I use drop sets when I hit form breakdown 3 times in the same set and smash them for 30-40 reps a set 3)use moderate to lightweight that causes form breakdown around rep 10-12 4) No swinging, no cheating, no ego 5) With rear delt cable flys really make time to embrace the negative portion, you really relax your whole body and literally let the cables just pull your rear delt as a natty you have to really put in extra work for shoulders as we don't have the advantage of the increased androgen response to steroids due to higher concentrations of androgen receptors in the shoulders.

I dont know if my genetics are great but my shoulders with pump looks almost anabolic. I always do my side delts with push day. I do 4 sets of lateral dumbell raises. But this is my own twist to it: i take a weight that puts me in failure around 18-22 reps. Then when i've done my "whole reps" im dropping my range of motion to about half. And i'm pushing the equalivent of reps to my "whole reps". So 1 set of this consists of around 20 whole reps and 20 half reps. This grew my shoulder like nothing else. 4 sets and you're toast. After that i do my military presses. Because my side delt are done this pushes it in extreme burning pain. 4 sets and again around 18-20 reps. Did these 2x a week so thats 8 sets from each exercise =16 sets a week. My shoulders grew like nothing else from this. Hope you try it, and enjoy the results!!🔥

Do you drop rom on the bottom half or the top half?

Lu raises probably the best exercise for shoulders

So what about the muscle gaining strategy I use from NASM. Slightly higher protein intake while in a caloric deficit. 2.4g/kg, or roughly 1.12g/lb. Thoughts? I'd love for you to experiment with this strategy when you cut.

[@dedzkie]

Been following you for some time and I'm surprised to know you've got Filipino roots. That gives some motivation on my workouts.

[@clutchhammer]

Thanks again - you are a great resource 😊

[@harshsingh04793]

One trick I use on Lateral Raises is that , I usually do 13-15 reps and then my trainer gives little support till failure and I could get like 30-40 reps , and I do the same thing for him. Really seeing changes using this in like 1.5-2 months .

[@CarlieRottier]

Another important tip is to train schoulders first before another muscle group for example like chest. During the first part of your session you are the strongest and therefore you can handle more volume and tension. Also a double of tripple dropset til failure with lateral raises at the end of the session helped my schoulders to grow.

[@TheRealProDuReX]

Nahh big muscles first

Hey Kabayan! It's been more than a year watching your vlogs and I knew it since then you have a Filipino heritage. More power to your Channel Kabayan!

The puppy being there and running away in the cable lateral raises demonstration was perfect for the cinematics.

[@Eagle-Striker]

The problem is too much trap involvement during lateral raises. A) instead of lifting your hands up to the ceiling (trap dominance) focus heavily on pushing your hands outward to the side (delt isolation). B) when doing dumbbells try doing them one side at a time (unilaterally) just as you do with cables. The 100% focus to the muscles increases delt isolation. C) I cant stress the importance of decreasing the weight. It should start getting difficult after the 6-8th rep (not third). 1Most people say not to but going to failure 100% guarantees you have worked the lateral delts to the limit!

[@ryancheong9486]

RE: Intensity--if growing delts heavily relies on staying close to failure perhaps Myoreps are key. I've been doing just 2 "sets" baseds on myoreps every 2 days and my shoulders are crazy now.

Did you do the lateral raises at the start of the push day or at the end? i think this also matters a lot

[@XxxxTxTxxxX]

Mix it up. You never want to be stuck with the same rutines when it comes to building muscle

[@HJP007]

How do you reduce trap activation during lateral raises?

[@PT.DanShine]

The traps are involved in a lateral raise, and in particular the lower traps will stabilise the shoulder joint when the arms are raised up overhead (when you go above shoulder height). So you can't fully reduce them getting involved on laterals. What I'd recommend is that you perform them on a high incline bench with chest support to lock in your form - I have found these to really help blow up my side delts. I have a walkthrough video for you here, hope this helps - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qUm42Giseaars

[@FitLabb]

I wouldn’t recommend training shoulders 3-4x per week as that would almost certainly be overtraining, especially if you’re doing 2-3 (or more) shoulder exercises per workout. If you’re working hard enough, that’s also not giving enough recovery time. On another note, Cable Lateral Raises are an awesome exercise, especially the single arm variant where you’re leaning away from the cable machine. 💪

[@maten146]

Depending of what you call training shoulder I guess. For instance if you work indirectly you shoulders two times per week with pecs and back exercices + two times per week you work then directly with lateral raises/ military presses/ rear delt fly/ face pull, you should be alright

[@bejingeorge321]

He said training side delt 2 or 3 times per week with only 8 sets not at all overtraining

[@SupermanOG]

Do you have to comment on every video with your trite remarks ? Lol

[@king-amir3401]

you don't have to do a full blown shoulder workout every session. you could have 1 shoulder specific session and 2 other sessions that start with 3 sets of lateral raises followed by other muscles after

[@cascadianapplications7124]

Egyptian raises are legit

[@gamefreak173]

My plan is to stay around 220 pounds and just pile as much muscle as I can. I noticed that my lifts are also going up steadily while seeing more definition in my muscles. If I cut down like 30 pounds I would look shredded but I'm going for the long term
