It’s time to get Bigger, Wider Shoulders - http://athleanx.com/x/biggerwidershoulders

is it possible to add size to your shoulders in literally two weeks it is but you’re going to have to rethink the way you’re doing some old classic shoulder exercises what’s up guys Jeff Cavalier affen x. com it says it right here in the title to add size to your shoulders in literally two weeks how can you do that now guys you know that I’m not one to tell you these inflated promises if we can’t back them up and with athl X we do back them up the way I’m going to tell you how to in you know increase the size of your arms and shoulders here is by changing the way that you think about how you train your shoulders now first and foremost guys will tell you that in order to really truly build bigger shoulders you have to do one thing you have to lift truly heavy and you got to use those exercises that allow you to do that so we’re talking military presses behind the neck presses if you’re still doing those even though anatomically not the best for your shoulders I’m going to tell you that you can absolutely build your shoulders up with an exercise you probably use towards the end of your workout and you probably relegate it to one of those High rep burning fatigue type exercise I’m talking about the side lateral now what do we usually do with the side lateral when we’re doing the side lateral rise guys will differ on whether they want their arm straight or whether they want their arm bent the first key you have to realize when you’re doing any kind of lateral raises what are you actually moving when you train the shoulder you really only moving the arm from here to here forget what happens down here for now so if you’re just concentrating on moving the top part here of the shoulder moving the elbow up and away from you it’s called abduction away from your body you can see that the entire delt is Contracting and doing its job and that’s great now what does the elbow position do well the elbow position either shortens or lengthens the lever arm so this 8B weight does not fully feel like 8 lb if I have my arm bent in here because the lever arm between where the what’s working and what’s moving is not that long if I move it all the way out here it becomes a lot heavier and a lot harder to do that again your muscles aren’t counting your muscles aren’t configuring 8 lbs versus 12 lbs they don’t know what’s going on they just know how it feels so do you want to continue to do exercises where you can keep your arm out straight and you’re working to 15 20 rep steps that’s fatigue fatigue is not overload it can be it can be but for the purposes of adding size fatigue is not overload overload means overloading the muscles with heavier weights so what do we do we we evolve what I call a cheat lateral now this is a 50 lb dumbbell I don’t normally do just 50 lb side lateral raises this is well above and beyond what I normally would work out with if I wanted to go really strict i’ be at 20 30 lbs but if you really want to add size to your shoulders you got to start incorporating cheat laterals what we do is we hold on to a stable surface here get the arm in front of you now again I’m focusing on this elbow there will be some Bend in here and I’m going to get the elbow away from my body not keeping it tucked in here but getting it away from my body then when I’m at the top overloading the delt I’m going to try to really slow it down as much as I can understanding that a 50 lb weight held out there will drop faster than I would hope it would okay but just get in here set yourself up right and get it out and then try to decelerate on the way down oh out and try to decelerate it out and decelerate there is control this is not a a straight swing I’m not advocating that I’m saying muscle it up but go a lot heavier than you ever thought capable and I don’t care if you get six reps out I think I got like eight that that is how you increase the deltoids size quickly because you overload them forget about isolation exercises this can become a Power exercise I’m incorporating my whole body I have legs I have my core stabilizing in here okay my other shoulder again working to just keep me nice and stable and from here power it up and drive it down if I was an athlete and I was working on you know as a football player if I was a wide receiver and I needed to be able to get off the line and push and get free so I can get out for a pass we’re not looking at nice pretty controlled side lateral raises like this okay there’s a place for that if you want to work on muscle fatigue and endurance but not if you want to increase size guys
