ODDS ARE… YOU’RE PROBABLY TRAINING REAR DELTS WRONG (LET ME FIX THAT) | MIKE VAN WYCK

[@WYCKEDTRAINING]

The sporadic muting is to remove cussing that resulted in KZbin removing ads from this video. This is my way of trying to play by their rules until we’ve established an alternative solution. I’m sure you’ll have no issues discerning the intended message though. 😉

[@Jay-hp6pu]

God forbid a bad word slips through. KZbin sucks.

[@dom5648]

@@gregmech i think you are right, but its still the stupidest thing ever. How does that make any logical sense.

[@BagelMachine]

Someone needs to make a web extension that pulls the video from a different site when you queue the KZbin url.

[@Reddog08]

F-it, as long as we hear what you've got to say

[@richkeegan5367]

I was so confused as to why the best word was muted! It's real and your "realness" contributes to how great your videos are!

[@timhighsmith8474]

I love watching Mike slowing work himself up into a frenzy and start going off on people. Like you can see it slowly bubble up until it explodes 😂

[@reginaldh48]

Top 5 Olympia’s don’t listen to dorks

[@adrians5061]

I love the speech at the end. It's so true about temporary lifters. They just start lifting and start giving tips with their shit physique. That is 1000% accurate.

[@WagnerB2-4782]

So GOOD, SO RIGHT ON!!!! Love this guy. "You ever see these guys giving advice, their dorks, they look the worst."

[@hardwiredwellness]

It took me years of practice to get efficient at movement and execution for rear delt isolation exercises. One of the best tips I ever received for rear delt Training was "Train Rear delts first." Its much easier to feel them when the rest of the back isn't all pumped up !! I'm pretty sure it was Mike that pointed that one out, too !

[@tobyh3681]

John Meadows, preached this as well.

[@ilbro7874]

Good idea actually, only started doing this past couple weeks just to help me get warmed up and sturdy and I definitely feel it a lot more

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Yup! I start my shoulder training with rear delts or I work them on back day.

[@leecourtney1225]

Correct in every possible way its not even subtle but massive. Once your traps are ready and firing, so difficult to isolate your rear delt(not that I am obsessed with that as any row whilst back dominant will give lots of rear delt)

[@thomastoivonen9375]

Great. I'm going to try that today. Do the rear delts first and then the back.

[@Ffitjr]

The man has spoken! This new generation of bodybuilding has changed! Bring back old fashioned hard work

[@andrewBwinter]

Correct, I have been doing them wrong. Thanks for spending some time on the smaller, overlooked muscles.

[@WYCKEDTRAINING]

Thanks Andrew, I hope you find this helpful.

[@narcoman]

​@@WYCKEDTRAININGgreat vid,would u be able to make hitting all muscles adequatly with only dbs?

[@CIV415]

Get the app going plz. The knowledge you drop is priceless. Educate us on rep schemes, structuring a workout, etc. Appreciate you Mike.

[@travismora9046]

Thats my new favorite rear delt exercise. My delts feel worked for the first time. I tried the peck deck and got little to no rear delt activation. 2 minutes of listening to mike changed everything. Thanks mike! Wicked workout.

[@papaspaulding]

Ive always struggled (over decades) to feel a solid mind to muscle connection with my rear delts. The best exercise I ever found for my own in which i really connected with them was from John Meadows, which were super heavy dumbbell 'swings' on a bench. I think a big part of what helped was that it really took the arms out of it (as you've pointed out in this vid being crucial)

[@ranchobrien6235]

I love when Mike starts.Arguing with himself

[@melancholyparty]

Subscribed. Ive watched thousands of videos and this is the first one that didn’t over complicate shit and also the first time I ever got a pump on my rear delts!

This channel is my new favorite! I only wish I would have found it sooner. Big props to you!

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

"Dorks and Nerds" are still trying to figure out how guys like Bill Pearl or Larry Scott got so big without their books or special machines. Growing up in the 60's and 70' Sergio Oliva was great to watch. As you say, he had no special "dork" trainers. Better than Arnold in my opinion. One of my favorites, Žydrūnas Savickas wasn't watching TikTok videos. He was lifting. Even if he was lifting the wrong rep, set, freq, rest, volume and tempo, he was still lifting everyday with high intensity. No magic elixirs. No magic replacement for hard work and consistency. Absolutely love your no BS videos. No special clips, no special effects or sounds. Just lift, rock through the target muscles, eat, sleep, train, don't over think it, ....just do it. Awesome 👍👍👍 thanks

[@muslcemojo]

Thanks Mike! I have a difficult time feeling my rear delts. I tweaked my form using your tips and BAZINGA!!, I finally feel them!!

[@rayp5168]

😁😂🤣 he’s actually telling the truth about training rear delts. I never go over 20lbs on rear delts. It’s a very small muscle no need for ego lifting. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 always great tips from this guy

[@agontop1]

Hey man, love this video and the advise.. Working out for years and literally learned something new with this. Only thing I would like to make a point about is the ending of your video, regarding the nerds and why can’t people apply it to themselves. While I agree, I also know that some people just don’t have the genetic or physical gifts that others have, however that doesn’t mean they don’t understand the sport or anatomy. I mean one look at most professional coaches and they undoubtably don’t have the athletic gift, strength or size as the athletes they coach but they are nerds for the sport and understand it to a level that they are able to lead these men/women to victory. Always be willing to learn from anyone. Thanks for the vid tho man, I absolutely learned something that others don’t touch on.

[@Casey-uv9yd]

I just did shoulders today I want to say thank God for KZbin because I’ve been doing it wrong . I should say i was not doing it wrong Just the angle was wrong And I concentrated on the angle found to be a big difference. That tricep video that was a killer as well . been doing that for the last two months and I already see a difference .

[@timcravetts5035]

This resonates i love your no nonsense don’t over complicate it approach. Any time kids at my gym Ask me stuff o send them to your vid’s and to Seth feroce. Two different mindsets but similar approaches.

[@Tongan_bred]

Mike is the man! Best KZbin lifting channel

[@HarryHarrisonUK]

Love a Mike rant 😂 absolute bang on the money with everything though as per

[@BrooklynNative79]

I agree with Mike if the muscle is not on you, you have no right to be talking, it’s more of show your physique as a trainer to show on what you are talking about, experience gives good mentor talk 👍🏽✌🏽🙏🏽

[@bbcr11]

Do you think its better to train rear delts with back, or the rest of the delts?

[@leecourtney1225]

Always notice when I do rear delt isolation work the less weight/rep to failure are the days they are burning and pumped. This is exactly why, those are the days I have clearly (not totally obvious) used great form and kept my damn traps if not asleep definitely sleepy

[@michaeldowney6533]

Following your tips have made a noticeable difference in my training. I truly appreciate your content. It's a little harder to understand without the cursing though.. 🤣

i personally dont train rear delts i focusing on sides delts, for most people (that is wrong) but my sides are Horrible =( this second moviment is like pulling arrow

[@phil5037]

I'm glad you didn't feature reverse pec deck, bc letting the elbow go across the body is very neglected and the reverse pec deck doesn't allow your elbows across. I fucked that up for YEARS. Also at 8:03 I would joke that Hany Rambod is a dork, haha! JK his channel is where I learned to train rear delts correctly. Absolute legend

[@ecliqxse9591]

Thats why u gotta be consistent on all exercise

[@ilbro7874]

Delts in general are a struggle to feel, really need to hit em first and play around with angles. So hard to overcome the desire to move weight and opt for a more inefficient movement.

[@swolemonster5685]

This video was epic!!!! And fuck that what ever gym I’m in , I WILL NOT LET THE NERDS TAKE OVER!!!!! I started at 17 years old in the 90s in fucked up gyms in the BRONX NYC!!! I learned from friends that did time up north and guys that did security in the clubs ! They taught me the basics no fancy shit!

[@bnelski0257]

Ur videos bring so many “ah ha” moments!!

[@DanBatista]

Outstanding video, Mike. Loved the rant, as well as the training nuances. If you ever feel like you're going over the same exercises all the time, please don't. There's a new nugget -- a new emphasis or sometimes even a formerly unarticulated idea -- you drop every time you go over one of these movements. Saying that, I wouldn't mind you going over the finer details of that kneeling one-arm cable row you had Breon Ansley do when you trained him out in LA. (I'd have thought that would be a staple exercise for you, given that you told Breon it's the best lat extension he'll be able to get from any set-up?)

[@Kaizen2013v]

What abut the reverse pec machine at the box store gyms. Are they as effective as cable?

[@chronometa]

These are so hard to hit. I also like to use cuffs for this to help me relax because I'm not squeezing my hands.

[@Ballistichydrant]

I’ve been lifting since I was 15. I’m 37 now. Been doing total body workouts for the past few years. I have a manual labor job. Should I go back to having a dedicated day to a dedicated body part like a chests day, back day, ect…

[@WYCKEDTRAINING]

Entirely depends on your goals. If you’re exercising for general overall health I don’t see the issue with the way you’ve been doing it. If you want to train for specific physique goals I suggest having dedicated days for the muscle groups you want to focus on improving. I hope this helps, thanks for watching David.

The key to isolating rear delts is to keep your back out of it. The key to keeping your back out of it is to spread your lats.

[@hugadog9144]

No one with bad genetics could ever be top 10 MrO. Guys with great genetics can train however they want (as long as there is enough consistency, intensity and/or volume) and still look great. They might suffer injuries snd health problems down the road, but its the combination of genetics, their will and hard work ethic that bring them to this top 10 level. On the other hand guys with miserable genetics must optimize! Refine, learn, research. That’s why some of them those nerds & dorks do not look that impressive. They may be well aware of their shortcomings and just want to be the best they CAN be within the boundaries of their genetic potential! They MIGHT know better than most of those genetically gifted impressive guys out there, because they work their way through all of adversities to get every pound and inch of muscle they build. They may refrain from PED because the do not want to detriment they’re health, tear muscles and ligaments just to look mediocre at best. They want to be fit, strong, and best they can be. You do not have a comparison. How would they look not training or training less efficient. Your training advice is great but not because your huge and jacked steroid fueled hulk of a guy, or top 10 olympian. It’s BECAUSE you’ve been beaten and torn with all those injuries and found better healthier way to stimulate muscle!

Just spread your lats and dont allow shoulder blades to squeez together while you perform the movement. Keep lats spread all the time! Thats hiw you train your rear shoulders

[@darnelljr1267]

Question , im a beginner plz excuse me , what makes rear dealt important rather than a full shoulder video? I notice u talk about specifically the rear dealt a lot

[@keithfarrell957]

Having good rear delts gives you're shoulders a fuller rounder look . It's just as important to develop the other two heads.

[@N8_Dogg]

Would also say that front and side delt get alot of work on other days, like when you train chest, where rear delt doesn't really get hit while doing other body parts...
