Finally! a thread about delts

**Valenzuelatech** · 03-26-2009, 02:44 AM

sick of all these damn arms threads, arms are overrated

the most important body part for a bodybuilder is the shoulders.

Finally a thread about fail

**Anubis18** · 03-26-2009, 02:47 AM

agreed, not only do they make you look "powerful", but they also look good and have definition from pretty much any angle

also fail

Dont use the whole link, just the stuff after the "="

**Valenzuelatech** · 03-26-2009, 02:56 AM

kthx

btw YES you should hold the dumbbell like a kettlebell - wrists down. if you keep your arms straight out beside you, it will cause far too much strain on the wrist and inner elbow especially when the weight gets heavier

good advice, didnt know that. do you press at all? if so how much?

**miscdoctor** · 03-26-2009, 03:01 AM

Its true, if you've got shoulders and hardly any triceps you'll still look big, very useful commodity to have

my seated presses are with 80 DB each hand for a good 8 reps.

my fav press however; is the standing behind the neck barbell press - 133lbs for 12

People say btn presses are dangerous and they can be if you're not careful. always stop at about ear level and avoid a balistic upward thrust.

my body mechanics make btn presses (for delts) and pulls (for back) very comfortable. so i suggest everyone should give it a shot and see if it works for them or not. just start light!

this is true but sometimes its good to cheat a little (AS LONG AS THE MOVEMENT IS STILL CONTROLLED.) to overload the muscle.

dont trap yourself into non-growth by doing super strict reps with very light weight.

as you can see in the video im getting a bit of a push from my lower body but thats just to get the weight past sticking point.

i can understand what you mean brah,

for the past 4 years i did super strict side laterals with the wrists in the "pouring water position"
this developed my delts but as the weight moved up i got terrible joint and wrist pains.

give the kettlebell grip a go

-grip the dumbell thumbless YES THUMBLESS!

-when the weight goes up your elbows should be higher than your wrist

-let your wrists hang

-dont tense up your neck area, this will bring the traps into play

this is how you train the side delts the way you're body was naturally meant to move.
to test this: relax your body and extend your shoulder out to the side, what happens?

your elbow will be higher than your wrist, wrist hanging and relaxed.
yeah, now try it with dumbells

**hashish** · 03-26-2009, 03:14 AM

u on dat der OJ brah? (srz question)

**djfuzzy** · 03-26-2009, 03:14 AM

Yeah, but how much can you curl?

**miscdoctor** · 03-26-2009, 03:17 AM

Its a matter of cheating but still using the muscle and at the same time avoiding injury.

**missworldfitnes** · 03-26-2009, 03:18 AM

I couldn't agree more, I love Shoulders!!

**DAVEZILLA** · 03-26-2009, 03:20 AM

in before clive...oh wait you said delts...

anonymous · 03-26-2009, 03:21 AM

KB swings are great for helping the deadlift lockout, but you need to work on the form a little.

Think about squatting down more as you swing the weight back between your legs then use the hips more on the way up.

**Ultra_Magnus** · 03-26-2009, 03:23 AM

looks like hell on teh rotators

**Yozman** · 03-26-2009, 03:24 AM
