How To Get BIG WIDE SHOULDERS (Cables Only Edition)

[@kenhoward127]

I'm 54 and started lifting about 3 months ago. I watch videos from several youtubers and do get valuable information, but none of them connect like Ryan does. I was making zero gains in my shoulders and discovered I have horrible thoracic mobility preventing proper OH press form, thus no gains. I added this cable routine about 4 weeks ago and found i have to add weight almost every workout because my strength is increasing so fast. I perform this twice a week. So, a big thank you to Ryan and a FYI to anyone that this really works.

[@Dar.io.]

Request whatever you want “I don’t care what it is, I’ll get to it”. Man doesn’t ask anything from us yet gives us consistent and awesome content. Thank you, again.

[@johniresearchist7263]

it helps grow his channel. give and take. quality advice, quality routines = muscle growth and channel growth.

[@heyheytaytay]

So many of Ryans vids are saved under my "workout" and "thirsty" playlists.

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

I know older dudes whose shoulders don't like presses too much anymore but they're still able to make gains using cables for elevations

[@junkyard-p1s]

Yes us old guys can!!

[@chief_islxm]

@@junkyard-p1s wassup grandpa how u doing

[@dh6865]

Presses arent a problem for me i still prefer cables. Costant tension no matter what youre doing. Chest Flys are my favourite on cables

[@ramongalbert547]

I'm trying this routine tomorrow! Casablanca,Morocco subscriber here. He is really good.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I'm learning a lot of new exercises from you, Ryan. Thanks man.

[@lifeofzeezus3494]

Hands down best weight lifting youtuber/ teacher

[@riffu]

dude, you are by far my favorite online trainer! i have seen videos by many others but you are a league above the rest. cheers bruv!

[@jaredchavez6717]

Ur a legend my guy. You’ve shown me so many variations ive never seen before, and I can tell im getting stronger because if it. I for one appreciate your passion! 🤘🏽

[@photobearcmh]

Ryan, your videos are great. No nonsense, straight to the point information. Your clients are very lucky, and so are we.

[@marcosdelossantos1308]

Best fitness channel! Straight to the point instead of those boring 15 min videos others dudes.

[@nopenotnever]

Abs, lower back, battle ropes, high intensity training or some sort of cardio. This is the best channel btw, I don't use a scale but I've gone down 3 inches in the waist and my sleeves are tight on my shirts thanks to this channel and proper diet.

[@souljh7727]

Every time i plan to hit a muscle specific , he uploads a video about it ,man i love it

[@thepsychocybe7078]

every day I come back from the gym and Ryan has to upload a video about the muscle group I was focusing on. always late lmao

[@doncornetto]

If you are constantly switching routines then you arent really going anywhere arent ya

[@thepsychocybe7078]

@@doncornetto nah, it's just that I end up having to skip a day here and there due to me being busy then I pick up where I left off. I'm making good gains. I'm in the best shape of my life fellow baltic bro.

[@shednotes3016]

We've been waiting for someone like you for a looooong time. Lets collectively share Ryan's vid and get those subs even higher.

[@jlucas1]

A hand positioning video for cable handles etc would be great. For example, I have noticed by applying more pressure to the left side, center or right side of the handle I contact differently. Just want to say I have been doing this stuff 35 years now ( 14 years old) and your videos have been some of the most helpful tips I have ever watched. Especially the rear delts. The pump I get in them now using your tip of dumbells face down on an incline just lights them up and blows them up like little balloons. Thank you for keeping this shit fun!

[@davidjones1907]

As a long time fan of Athlean X I have to say that since finding your channel I don't even bother with Jeff anymore. Love your content and the fact all of your videos are just straight to the point, no bollox and just packed with amazing content. I train 5 mornings a week lifting Monday, Wednesday and Friday leaving Tuesday and Thursday for HIT cardio. Please can you do a best split for the 3 lifting days.? Keep up the fantastic work and let's get after it 👍🏻

[@bellaberg419]

Thank you for this workout! I am a 35 year weight lifter and now have a tough time with barbell and dumbbell presses. This is golden!

[@tavitaharris4210]

Your videos are amazing Ryan short and simple I've seen a lot of different work out I've never seen before I tried a lot of them and it works for me awesome awesome stuff man thank you so much for showing the world your passion it's worth watching it and I learn a lot from it God Bless man.

[@diak0]

loving these variations to my shoulder training

[@mattmuratori1647]

I seriously appreciate the detailed explanations on these exercises. The different angles you demonstrate help me a lot and shows how to do the movements properly. I have gotten so much better results in a much shorter time frame after watching your channel. I have even been able to grow muscles that I previously never could work on by using your techniques of isolating and squeezing during the exercise plus adding in tons of new exercises. Also your hair looks great I can tell it's growing in way more whatever you've been doing

[@biblebound4981]

Very seldom do I comment on any video on youtube...however, this guy hit the nail on the head or should I say "the 3-Shoulder Heads"! Great video with some new (in my opinion) exercises that really affect that particular shoulder head.

[@dr.heinzdoofenshmirtz3507]

I always wondered what you do for a warm-up before the actual workouts

[@jdennismot]

I was just about to ask Ryan about doing a stretching routine video.

[@mateuscoelhorossi2464]

Do a video on how to work the Soleus without a calf raise machine.

[@thesummit615]

Mateus Coelho Rossi this is a great question. I either do dumbbell single leg seated calf press. Prop your feet up on a couple of plates or a block. You can also do this on a smith machine with a bar across your knees (using a pad or folded mat, of course). 👊🏽

[@qle6]

So. Much. CONTENT. Thanks Ryan! 250K Congats, man.

[@Spaghatee]

Can't wait to incorporate these into my shoulder workouts. Everything I've incorporated so far from your videos have left me sore, and I LOVE it! Keep the videos coming big man

[@sixsixsixhellroad7890]

"I'm not wearing crocs again though" XD

[@zekemusto6360]

Really happy I found your channel man, thx for what you're doing. Can you hit on your thoughts and best movements for a push/pull/legs routine?

[@Mr123tallpaul]

If you’re ready... let’s get afterrr it

[@Adamerhartvideo]

Ryan! Love your channel man. Such good stuff. Thank you

[@deedwards1981]

Would love to see some videos on body weight suspension training such as with TRX and that of the like. Too many videos out there of the same old same old. You have a lot of good but unique ways of training and it intrigues me. I was wondering what your take is on the subject and possibly some different ways to get a total body experience. Some isolation techniques would be great too. Thanks for all you do....outstanding!

[@AdamEnriquez]

Bro that incline cable raise is killer. Never thought about adding a bit of an angle.

[@wildwildwest1286]

I like that behind the back lateral raise.Looks interesting.I have a hard time with those side delts.I feel them enough,but not seeing any gains.Front and rears making progress.Good to have this one for more variation,which you don't find much for side-delt exercises.Thanks for all this great instruction.

[@maxxmagnum007]

This stuff is great !! I just did these and my shoulders are blown up. I enjoyed getting a break from Overhead presses.

[@s.d.0]

No time waste Loaded with content and content only. Just the way it should be🙏🏻

[@nigeljones8234]

This man is the best!! Hands down!! his grunt is soo funny when lifting 3.37 sounds like the good guy from doom (old school video game) when he gets attacked from the zombies and imps. Il be trying these next time I hit shoulders, especially the wide grip bar for mid delts 👌🏻💪🏻

[@1ManMopol]

Started doing your cable workouts since January Majorrrrrrr change in my physique!!! Thanks Ryan!

[@frdfg80]

I just did this today and i really liked the cable shoulder 💪🏻 felt that thanks Ryan, since ive been following you I have been feeling the area worked out

[@HappyyGamePlay]

Can you please make a videos about bands and how to use them for different body parts? that’d be very helpful.

[@insanenatty5335]

I watch your videos from France. Good job

[@GaminGaymn]

Hey Ryan, any chance you can show some bicep exercises for people that have shoulder issues? I'm sure you have some tricks we could use!

[@Deciden0w.]

I like that rear cable workout. I never tried that before. Seems like a great isolation movement!

[@YinzerBooth]

Keep them coming Ryan! You are always adding to my gym repertoire!!

[@ashutoshdube6560]

No bullshit, straight to the point. Like this guy

[@hansotte6734]

Best content. Always simple and on point. I travel 100% and use bands in hotel and like cables im undrrstanfing mind muscle stuff. Thanx.

[@melvinr23]

Really thanks for the cable workouts I got resistance bands so will be using some of these techniques

[@reaper060670]

great video bro.. I'm really only beginning my journey with working out really. never did this kind of thing before and now in my late 40's I have found that I want to get fit. Love how u explain the movements bro.. Take care out there

[@maaackii]

Could you please do another calf video for growth/mass. Which exercise, how many reps/sets? Awesome videos!! I love it thst you have your one lite tweeks on regular exercises!! Keep it up!

[@kentborges5114]

LOVE THE CABLES !...right on RYAN

[@shawnjbray]

I haven't really done much shoulder work with cables. Thanks for the tips

[@EscapePlanSkateboarding]

Is training front delts necessary if you're already doing a lot of pressing?

[@sugarlife485]

this is a bodybuilding chanel in the Pure sense...so yes! if you want shoulders to pop!

[@paulnath4801]

Ryan love this no nonsense time efficient content - I know traps jumping in is often a problem for most other upper body movements but I’m quite a skinny build , looking to really build the traps and neck muscle to really give me that much bigger physique - any chance you could do a video for that ?

[@adammatusik7757]

Could you do like a big q&a where we ask you specific questions

[@nub-cake]

It's shoulders day! Great timing with the video😁

[@Coops-de1zi]

How about some forearm workouts next? My forearms look tiny in proportion to my biceps/triceps and I don’t really know how to properly train/grow them. Also, been loving your videos man. Really feeling a difference when I incorporate some of your exercises into my workouts. Keep up the good work.

[@Jnormanyt84]

My recent gains are 100% attributed to your videos my man.

[@shaunc9488]

So for someone who doesn't have any equipment at home - given this Coronavirus thing and the possibility of not being able to get to the gym, I'd love a video on doing a session with resistance bands to go with your bodyweight ideas in the other video. Awesome content as usual!

[@angmori172]

I know it's a late reply, but I've been home gymming for several years, and the best part about bands is that you can do literally every cable exercise with them if you have some sort of pillar to anchor them to. If not, you can use a door-frame pull-up bar to do decline work, and your feet or anything heavy on the ground to do incline work. Also get one or two grips, either single cable grips with an extra carbine hook, or Kensui Swissies. Yeah, the name sounds like it only does posterior chain work, but I got them a week ago and they turned my resistance band work into a whole new game.

[@georgia7043]

Do some vids on workout out routines. Push/pull/legs, 5x5, 4 day split, etc. Super curious to hear your thought on them each. Thanks great free content.

[@Angrywastaken]

Ryan, I appreciate your channel a lot, thank you for these videos man. Keep it up!

[@briansbrain426]

I liked the last rear delt vid you did using the bands for pre-loading the muscle. This worked REALLY well for me in the gym and I would like to see other ways to use bands to preload muscles (my biceps could use this!!)

[@Jamaal2503]

A forearm and wrist strength workout please! Recently sprained my wrist in boxing so looking for ways to strengthen it, particularly the ulnar and radial sides of the wrist 💪🏼

[@lee4851]

Great content, straight to the point, no stupid 5 min intro's

[@stevelee3144]

Great cable routine with you there’s always something new thanks!

[@JonTalks]

I always go to your videos for the technic and also for the hilarious comedy you throw in. Can you do another segment on Low and middle chest definition? I appreciate it. Jon

[@raylopez4351]

Great commen sense approach . I enjoy your videos and try to incorporate some of your methods

[@MJ-gu9rt]

Came for the crocs...left disappointed.

[@Spaghatee]

I work at Crocs. What you need?

[@MrTimstaaa]

Same me. I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing white crocs before. Sexy. 🤣🤣🤣

[@chief_islxm]

ugly asf

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

😭

[@StraitjacketFitness]

Any insights on foam/PVC rolling? Or flexibility and mobility work in general?

[@MrTimjm009]

The reach around behind way instead of arm in front way definitely works for me

[@kamaldholakia7427]

You invariably emphasized on "mind muscle connection and feel" of the workout... Crux of the bodybuilding.. Salute from India.

[@ivanoxley5514]

Just about to get after it...perfect timing cheers dude👍

[@patmac]

Another great vid. Thanks. My progress has been better at my old ass of 54 than when 20yrs younger. Keep em coming. Start a Patreon site.

[@mynameishamza]

Great content Ryan! Very short, very informative. Could you please make a lower body workout video?

[@jfro515]

Ryan, long time watcher, first time commenter.. could you do a video showcasing pull up technique/progression for heavier people that need to use bands to perform pull ups?

[@shawntyreke6857]

You never fail me dawg great content

[@tonykirumba1553]

Commenting just because this guy is awesome

[@noahgarcia3545]

A lot to learn from Ryan. Great content every time. Info on nutrition would be helpful.

[@seankelleher7384]

i just followed this for my workout at home,feeling the burn,thanks man,subbed

[@Viralclown]

Always trained heavy compound movements (25 years)and never got my stupid shoulders to grow substantially. Trying this light weight isolation approach as I find it hard to get the mind muscle connection.

[@mikangelshernandez5604]

RYAN YOU'RE MY PLATONIC LOVE 😍😍😍

[@MrTheproctor]

Started training 5 months ago. I love using cables for shoulders. I have found myself not resting between sets and just alternating arms for the rest instead, whilst reducing the weight each set to carry on. Is this not good, it feels good at the time? Thanks loved the video.

[@TonyScimeca]

Hitting this one tomorrow morning :) it was gonna be shoulder day already, now I get some new routines

[@chrisscott8604]

Hey @ryanhumiston! I need to build up my middle traps. Can you make a video on some unorthodox methods to building thickness in this area, por favor?

[@rookendgame]

Make a video on optimal supersets for each body part. Shoulder supersets, chest supersets, bicep supersets, etc

[@matthewreeves8738]

awesome...i think you have more exercises for delts with the cables.

[@draven5002]

Gonna throw this in to my routine tonight! Thanks Ryan.

[@jokfly]

Superb video as always. Keep it coming.

[@Dave_W861]

The chest day of using the incline bench, warming up squeezing the bumbbells together gave a brilliant connection to the chest, I still can't feel the upper chest in the same way, any tips? A general video of feeling mind/muscle connection would likely really help :)

[@merkur5606]

You are my God of Bodybuilding

[@dalechen8199]

Tomorrow’s shoulder day for me 😊

[@kevinm.328]

I would like to see what you like to do for warm ups for each muscle group. I am curious about what you do for mobility as well

[@wolfman8785]

I have a little home gym and i try to do as many cable exercises with power bands. It works out pretty good...be cool to maybe do a video on power bands and the best way to use them

[@supunathukorala7692]

Video on bfr training please

[@vincepeterson8091]

Can you revisit upper body/ lower body split? You included deadlifts in your last one but I find hitting legs after that destroys my hammies. Thanks bro.

[@jimstapleton3899]

Ryan, I just added Zercher squats and found that when changing my stance from sumo to narrow really blasts the quads. What are your thoughts on this? All I can say is that doing these have added more definition to my legs!

[@GreenSoup2HoT]

He has a video where he does 3 stances to blow quads all on the leg press. Narrow, Regular focusing on heels then sumo. I dunno if he squats like that but he crushes leg presses with Narrow. So id assume its good but maybe dangerous with weight on your shoulders with a squat.

[@shaunbradley6006]

What's best way to train your forearms dude it be good to see this added to a arm day ? Fingers crossed for a vid soon 🤞💪🏼💪🏼

[@djdanstyles26]

I know you’re more of a ‘bro split’ kinda guy, but would love an upper/lower routine! Love the content!

[@Azazel518]

BTW are those girlie weights in the back ground at 0:32? they look nice and pink😀

[@seanmcdonald5859]

Okay, at this point im getting from the number of exercises being shown. They are fantastic vids and the presentation is top notch but the overload is real 😂

[@kenvirgoe543]

I’d love to see a cable ab day as well as cable leg day
