One topic that i think should be covered and would be a really nice idea for a video is "Rest", what to do after a workout, what "rest" actually means and what should we do the next days, like "we should not use the muscle trained during the workout" or what exaclty should we be doing or would be recommended. Also when will i be recovered from the previous workout and i can train again? Everybody has a different interpretation of it. There are a lot of videos about how to do a workout, but "rest" isn't acknowledged much even if it's foundamental for muscle growth.

[@joshuasinlao4164]

no need to overcomplicate rest, just rest the muscle group for 48hours that's why "workout split" exist, what to do after workout? eat your protein and little bit of carbs if you want to be lean simple as that

Loved this episode particularly because Jeff mentioned speed/ time efficiency which is a consideration for most people! Great stuff. Dumbbell lateral raises are infinitely better than missed cable lateral raises and recognising that in a time push there are lower tiered exercises than can still be useful was really helpful!

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

I recently started doing the side lying lateral raises and I'm loving them. The weighted stretch is so much better, the tension at the bottom position and the stimulus-to-fatigue ratio is excellent too. That latter point has become important to me since I'm not trying to brace and stabilize my full body when I just want to isolate my side delts. Save the fatigue for bigger movements. Same reason I switched from heavy standing bicep curls to preacher or seated curls.

[@deanradley65]

Right on! The difference between the lying raises and standard is massive.

[@pucek365]

Pencilnecks everywhere...

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

@@pucek365 Kid, I've been lifting heavy for over a decade. I do my barbell compounds, heavy weighted calisthenics. I'm in my 30s and fatigue management becomes an issue when you get older. We're talking about side delt isolation here for crying out loud. I'm not gonna waste energy on a purely aesthetic lift that has little to no carryover to anything real. But go ahead and blow your load ego lifting and swinging around the big dumbbells on your lateral raises. I'm sure everyone is very impressed.

I feel this more in the rear delts, and i've been doing it as the dumbell version of the cable crossover, lying down on the bench with chest up, and arms across the body at neck height- seems like it should be the best tension at the stretch compared to being on your side

When I see stuff like this from gymfluencers you always need to take it with a grain of salt. Sure it might not be optimal but how much difference are we talking about? Perhaps like 3 percent better? Even they don't know. What I do know is that if you have a full time (plus) job that isn't something like professional bodybuilder then those DB lat raises move up to S tier as you can get them the F done and move on faster than anything else. For people that have limited time (or willpower to spend that time) some of the gymfluencer advice needs to be modified. (I do give credit for Jeff for mentioning the time factor).

[@Ryan-yc4rk]

Laying cable lateral raise is a tier above standing cable lateral raise.

[@PK_Dutch]

1) I find adding (fractional)plates to BB Overhead presses A LOT quicker and energy preserving than having to change Db's and getting them in starting position. 2) Standing presses might trade a bit direct hypertrophy for the good sake of shoulder health eq long term gains. *Although the standing up can be limiting, one can argue the 'use it or lose it' paradox to be huge. In fact most folks have never done real overhead presses. Meaby standing incline partials at best.

even if you do 3 exercises from the B or even C tier, stay consistent, and keep good technique and slow down on the negative, you will have more gains than someone who does A or S tier exercises sparingly and without any grace or smoothness in their movement.

[@DominikKowalczyk762]

1. Not all muscles benefit from the stretch because they either can't be stretched (like the popliteus for example) or because they have too many sarcomeres in series that don't allow them to reach the descending limb length to experience passive tension, the shoulders are one of them. This just means that making the exercise stretch-based creates extra fatigue with LESS benefit. 2. Constant tension doesn't matter 3. The reason dumbbell lateral raises are better is because the most tension is at the top, which is better in this case. After all, the side delts have the best leverage to abduct the arm from 75-90º. The reason we want to place the most tension on a muscle when it has the best leverage is because of neuromechanical matching, which is simply where the nervous system matches the recruitment of mechanically advantaged fibers to a certain movement aka the central motor command will allocate more motor unit recruitment to the muscles that are best at completing the task required based on their leverages or internal moment arm for a given part of the movement. Therefore, dumbbell lateral raises are S-Tier and Cable Lateral Raises are C/B-Tier Edit: I've learned more about the delt. The deltoid is made up of seven sub-regions which are all selectively activated based on their individual leverages, meaning that you want multiple different lateral raise variations. So cable at wrist height, cable at floor, dumbbell raises, try to get as many resistance profiles as you can. If I could only choose one it would still be dumbbell, though

I don't know about all that, but I do know that dumbbell lateral raises are S-tier. I also know that I can't get any real stretch on my side delts because my torso blocks humeral adduction. Surf the rack from the biggest dumbbells you can handle for 10 clean reps on down to 5s. Don't skip the 8s and 12.5s if you have them. Do that for 2 sets, and that's your side delt workout. 3 sets for extra credit.

11:45 is a perfect example of how people get too caught up in what the science says as opposed to real world results. Jeff says : "Oddly enough my rear delts always get really sore from these" But then he puts them in B tier simply as "because there is not enough tension in the stretch " So despite feeling them work really effectively on the target muscle (really sore) they get essentially dismissed as the science at current is all about that stretched position over all else when it comes to exercise selection lol

[@foldinghomealone]

Yeah, I totally agree. For decades every fitness expert laughs at someone not doing proper pull ups (--> over the bar). Now they are supposed the great kings for maximising the stretched position and minimising useless over the bar movement...

[@carlosolivares6969]

Am i crazy to think that not all exercises need an exaggerated “stretch”?

Some of the best content on training on KZbin for sure! At 58 years old I look for practical information, not magic, secret formulas, and hacks. Science based and referenced is my go to here. Train till your 90+

[@Apanblod]

I'm personally looking for the information on magic myself. Being able to implement a supernatural aspect to my workout routine would definitely do wonders for my gains.

[@janongski]

How about Arnold Press?

It was told many times that is bs

[@Saintecathrine]

Its called working out and going to failure ? Ever heard of it I guess you haven’t

[@venividivega8889]

Shame to see a lack of accessories from olympic weightlifting: Behind the neck press and push press: completely removes the pecs from the equation and is a lot more stable because of the lack of front rack Behind the neck snatch grip press: actually much easier to get in position (a lot of people squat with arms wide if they have poor shoulder mobility) and it massively removes triceps as a prime mover, very side delt focused and includes some trap activation Snatch Grip Pendlay row: More of a rear delt and trap exercise compared to regular pendlays, very easy to progress and has a very good stretch if you let your shoulders start rolled forward at the bottom.

[@vstll]

Behind the neck exercises are garbage

[@chonkeboi]

@@vstllwrong when it comes to the behind the neck press, if you can do them they may as well be objectively better, you improve mobility, target the side delts more, and can get more out of less weight. Literally just a better version of the standard ones.

[@vstll]

@@chonkeboi if you want to target side delts you do lateral raises, doing behind the neck makes you do less weight than normal

[@chonkeboi]

@@vstll ok? First of all that’s not worse, it’s likely better since the stimulus is still high and fatigue will be lower, secondly, doing 2 side delt exercises would be better than one. Mobility also gets better from doing behind the neck press.

[@venividivega8889]

@@vstll Because you take pecs out of any prime mover role, the reduction in weight is in line with the reduction in total muscles used which is perfectly fine.

[@NormalWeirdo_]

I do this one exercise I call “incline Y-raise”. You sit on an incline bench and do a Y-raise with dumbbells. It’s the same biomechanically as a cuffed side raise. You get a big stretch and some tension in the stretch and it really lights up my delts.

[@yslovacs]

Placing the OHP in B tier and not even rating Behind the neck press or trap bar overhead press is straight up pencil neckology 💀💀

[@yslovacs]

In favour of behind the back cuffed cable raises with 5 pounds 😂

[@patale1640]

Its because these “science based” gurus can’t coach OHP so they find any excuse to not program the movement

Just got back into working out after 2 years. Was looking to mix up my workouts and these tier list videos have been amazing. I tried the Revere Cable Crossover absolutely destroyed my rear delts in a good way😆

[@Eddijon201]

I will walk 1 step for every like this comment gets.

[@Karacis]

Love the tier list on all the different exercises. Keep up the good work 👏

[@NotTodayBud]

I did cuffed behind the back cable lateral raises for the first time yesterday and I loved them! I suggest anyone to try them. This exercise would benefit people with rotator cuff injuries; the reason being, since your wrist is in a cuff it is much easier to move your wrist and arm around to find a comfortable spot for your shoulder.

[@walterstewart1330]

THis is actually my favorite fitness influencer of all time. youve helped me so much in the gym thank you

[@Bersling]

Nice compilation. For the versions with the band, you can make sure the band is already somewhat stretched when you start. For example for lateral Y raises: I attach it to a door, walk back until it's not hanging anymore, from there take one more step back so there's quite a bit of initial tension and from there I pull. This gives a much better resistance profile than starting with a fully loose band. It's almost like a cable exercise that way. You'll need to work with a weaker band like this though.
