The #1 Workout That BLEW UP My Shoulders (3 Exercises)

Wondering how to grow your shoulders? Today I want to share the #1 shoulder workout that absolutely blew up my delts. My Filipino genetics blessed me with a 1:1 shoulder-to-waist ratio and narrow clavicles that made me look frail and weak. But I refused to let my genetics define me. This past year, my shoulders are wider, broader, and fuller than they’ve ever been. I followed a simple, science-based shoulders workout that’s worked better than anything I’ve tried in the past. There are only 3 shoulder exercises (including the crowd fav, lateral raises) in this shoulders workout, but proper form is crucial, so pay attention.

First up in our shoulder workout, the side delts. This is the part of the shoulders that broadens your frame and is where I put most of my effort. Now in the past, in my delts workout, I’d always just do your typical dumbbell lateral raises. But there’s an exciting new area of research called long muscle length training that suggests muscles tend to grow better if they’re challenged in the stretched position.
But the thing about dumbbell lateral raises is they’re easiest at the bottom when the delt is fully stretched and hardest at the top when the delt is fully contracted. The opposite of what we want. So I chose behind-the-body cable lateral raises for my delts workout to target my side delts instead. This is where I stand in front and to the side, so my side delt is now stretched behind me. Make sure the cable is 2-3 notches from the bottom so it challenges your delts the most when it’s stretched.
A crucial progressive overload tip: I’d start around 10 reps per set, and only once I was able to do at least 15-20 reps per set with good form did I increase the weight. This way, I still made gains by increasing my reps, and then once I did make that jump in weight, I was ready for it.
So the side delts create width, but the rear delts help balance out the shoulder and give it that 3D look. But it’s by far the most underdeveloped part of most people’s shoulders. We know that muscles are best grown if the arm path of the exercise matches the direction of the muscle’s fibers. In the case of the rear delts, they run at about a 45-degree angle. What I found to be the most successful of all the shoulder exercises with was using this 45-degree arm angle during the reverse cable fly, but with a few steps back from the cable to make it more difficult near the beginning of the exercise when the rear delts are more stretched.
But you could apply this to the reverse pec deck as well. Move the seat up high and instead of sitting right up against the pad, scoot your butt back and lean your chest into the pad. This way, your arm angle will now line up better with rear delts. And if you don’t have access to cables or machines for your delts workout, you can do an incline dumbbell row with your arms kept at that 45-degree angle.
In all of these exercises, though, to prevent your mid-back muscles from taking over, don’t squeeze your shoulder blades together. Push your arms forward to open up your shoulder blades, and keep them that way as you pull your elbows back.
Lastly, we'll tackle the front delts in our shoulders workout. Now in the past, I’d always do standing barbell overhead presses. But they just really started beating up my joints, and it was always a struggle to stay balanced. So I switched this out for a more stable and smoother exercise on the joints, the seated dumbbell shoulder press. But not the way most people do it.
Instead, you’ll want to try to bring the bench back about 1-2 notches, and as you can see, it’ll require far less shoulder mobility. Once you’re set-up, line up your arm with the front delt fibers by driving your elbows inwards slightly with your palms facing in. Then, press the weight over your shoulders and return back to this starting position after each rep.
You now know how to grow your shoulders! Here are the 3 exercises with the reps, sets, alternatives, and how often to perform them.
Seated dumbbell shoulder press
3 sets x 6-10 reps, 1x/week
Alternative - machine shoulder press
Behind body cable lateral raise
3-4 sets x 10-20 reps, 2-3x/week
Alternative - dumbbell lateral raise (with partials at end)
Reverse cable fly
3 sets x 10-15 reps, 1-2x/week
Alternative - reverse pec deck, incline dumbbell rear delt row
You could do this as a workout on its own, but I’d recommend splitting these exercises up into 2-3 of your workouts throughout the week.
Research is always evolving. I may end up being wrong about all of this in a few years' time, but I will do my best to keep you guys updated with the latest science. So far, though, the research is promising, and it seems like it’s working.

Both are equally good methods. It is sad so many adults feel experience can’t be relied upon, only what an authority says. You’ve lost self-determination when you become this way. The entire reason he is now bringing this research to us is because he tried it and it worked for himself. AKA, his experience is what he’s relying on. He didn’t make this video immediately after finding the studies, did he?

[@pbramantio136]

@@disguisedcentennial835 enough number of experience is a statistic research. However any single measurement isn't a valid reason for anything. The rule of thumb is that at least 3 independent sources agree with each other (to a degree) then it is a statistically significant result. So, if you have at least 3 different people share the same result "based on my experience", then you can use it as a reference. Sadly most people would rely on one person's opinion on any given topic, which is not good. Hope that helps.

[@magicmitch1537]

Hearing you say “not just stretching, but challenging the muscle the most while in the stretched position” was a lightbulb moment for me. You used the seated curls vs preacher curls example and 🤯 I chose those seated ones becuase I thought it was just about stretching the most. Awesome stuff and really slick animations too, shout-out to you (and/or your editor)!

[@Turntablist11]

The thing is that the bicep is a two headed muscle, with one head having it's origin above the shoulder joint, and coming to a stretched position for that head involves moving your arm straight back with your palm facing forward, just as you do in an incline db curl. In a preacher curl, that head couldn't get stretched. The other head of the muscle would, though. So, having your arm behind your body, while loading the muscle in the more stretched position would be the way to go then, if the research in the video holds true. That might get tricky, of course. Seated incline cable curls would work (swap the dumbbell in the video with a cable behind the body), but could be a bit of a pain to setup depending on the gym that you're at. Standing cable curl, with one arm behind the body, pulling from a point high up on the cable tower... it might be unstable for some, but do try it.

[@ponglong]

Yeah same, lightbulb moment for me too! It's a great principle as I was about to give up on "the stretch" as I was just doing it for the sake of stretching. The angles and geometry tweaks to challenge while stretched is a great thing to keep learning per workout.

[@parry1]

The science pulls it all together and as someone whose been in physical therapy all my life, this is the first time I've seen exercises that my physical therapists through the years have recommended me explained so that I can understand and maximize their effect! Thank you! I'm currently 6 weeks into my strength training and muscle growth journey to try and see how much my muscles can grow. I'm born disabled with a non-progressive muscle and joint syndrome but my muscles are all there, just not trained in an intentional way since no one really cared to focus on that when I was growing up, therapists just threw exercises at me saying "this might work" but never explained them. I'm turning 34 now, this is going to be my year of growth!

For incline bicep curls the key is to bring the elbow forward and hold it there while you curl. You get WAY activation than amy preacher curl and it is easier on your joints. Start at half your strict curl weight though becuase they will mess you up. The preactivation isometric hold of the front delt really makes the bicep feel like it is going to explode with the pump and the stretch at the bottomof the rep is insane.

I fastened resistance bands to my wall, which pretty well duplicates what a cable pull can do (not as good of course, but good enough). I also typically combine this method (using my PowerBlock dumbbells) with my incline bench press, underhand flies, flat bench press, and close grip bench press. Now you have me thinking that I should also combine this method with my lateral raises. Hmmm.

[@jimalliban]

If you only have dumbbells and want to load the side delts when they are most stretched, lie on your side when performing the side delt raise (similar to standing version but you are horizontal). The muscle will be challenged most at the beginning of the exercise. You can use the same technique for front delts. Simply lie down on your back, hold the dumbbells by your thighs and lift until your arms are perpendicular to the floor. I got these exercises from Doug Brignole’s The Physics of Resistance Exercise book which is incredible .

The side delt technique that worked the best for me was to slightly turn my hands as if I’m pouring out a can of soup at the top . Keep them angled that way with all the same stuff Jeremy said and they’ll blow up

[@xavierayayaell546]

This is the way

I found this really helpful as I have shoulder joint issues and struggle to work these muscles in the standard ways!

awesome content, always one of my go to sources for research and high quality content. 🎉

[@JustusS2036]

1:45 Essentially the exercise is the hardest when there is a 90 degree angle between your arm and the cable. So just set it according to that. 5:06 I found that I can feel my rear delt best when I tug my shoulder blades in throughout the entire execrice/rom, so that the only muslce that has room to move is my rear delt.

HI JEREMY. I love your videos and I hope you see this comment and if you do i hope you give it a like. You've really helped me make a lot of progress and I really appreciate all you've done for us. I also hope you can continue the series of where you used Betty to find out the best exercises for parts of the body and I hope you do with more parts (maybe all? please do) I would really love it and a lot of people will find it meaningful . Or if you can't, maybe make a video (it can be long, no worries) where you show the top 10 exercises for each muscle group making sure it hits all areas of that muscle group and like making a workout for that muscle group after telling what the topo exercises are and also include sets, reps and more. I know I'm asking for a lot but it would mean the world to me and i"m sure it will to many other people. Don't forget to give me a shoutout if you do *wink*. Guys like this comment so Jeremy will be able to see it and don't forget to like this and all his other vidoes and subscribe to him!

This man knows his business these are the exercises that helped me bro

[@VernCrisler]

Interesting. I'll have to try out these rear delt variations to see if they work for me. Watching you and some of the other exercise gurus is like having an expert gym coach at one's side during a work out.

[@JackDespero]

What scares me about the behind the back cable is the internal rotation. I do it in front, as if I were trying to ignite a very stubborn motor, and that allows me to have external rotation.

We need a back workout. Who’s with me 👇

Yo! I really appreciate this, had one of my best pull days ever thanks to you. 🙏🙏

Exercise is great not only do you look better but you feel better both mentally and physically,which is real important now that I'm older.

I recently heard a few times that the side delts benefit more if the arms are kept a little to the front when doing lateral raises, instead of literally to the side. The reason given was precisely the direction of the muscle fibres that are mentioned a few times in this video. So I wonder how that goes together with Jeremy's observation that behind the back lateral raises gew his side delts more.

[@abhijittase2553]

It seems that starting the shoulders in Extension (kinda) starts the delts in the best stretch position and then when raising it, it moves forwards slightly to the front?

[@MacMhenarddeLeon]

I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you so much, Jeremy!

[@user-ri8kg2yh9c]

Thanks. This the type of info I like to see and hear. The diagram is what I really love seeing, how you are working the muscle, well should be working and how to build that particular muscle up. And the right direction and angel to work the muscle for better results

[@rickinwast]

At age 73 (With right & left rotator surgeries.) I need to be cautious with weights and angles. Jeremy always provides possible alternatives. ~ Thanks ~

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:24 🏋️‍♂️ *Main exercise for side delts: Behind-the-body cable lateral raises, ensuring proper cable height for optimal delt challenge.* 02:23 🔄 *Weight progression tip for lateral raises: Stick to the same weight, increase reps gradually (10 to 15-20 reps) before adding more weight to maintain form.* 04:43 🔄 *Rear delt isolation: Use a 45° arm angle during reverse cable fly or reverse pec deck, ensuring the arm path matches the rear delt muscle fibers.* 06:21 🏋️‍♂️ *Front delt exercise: Seated dumbbell shoulder press with arms at a 90° angle, bringing the bench back for less shoulder mobility strain.* 07:31 🧠 *Workout frequency recommendation: Split the three exercises into two to three workouts per week for shoulder development.* Made with HARPA AI

This video is incredible, many thanks for your professionality

The editing is world class

#3 is basically a high incline chest press. Which is actually great for front delts. The incline bench is a great tool, because depending on how far you incline you slowly move the area you're working down from your front delts to your upper chest. Anyway, I don't do any front delt isolation exercises. The incline bench is enough to work both my upper pecs and my front delts, and I'm pretty happy with the results

[@tarkgundogdu8940]

if you do bench press, shoulder press and dips; you do not need isolated front delt exercise.

without even looking at the video: swimming I was 15 at the time and I bought a 3 month ticket at my local swimming pool. I went from a 12 year old to a 18 year old in those 3 months. You can not change my mind: swimming is the single best exercise for gaining mass/width.

Yeah it was well known that Mr Olympia winners spent 90% of their training swimming. /s
