Good stuff!! At 38 years old, I'm beginning to notice the impact of heavy barbell rows on my spine. Thank you for that! Lose the music please it is distracting and loud
Here's a tip: I have severe bicipital tendonitis in my right shoulder. It's so bad, I can barely flat bench. I've switched to chest dips (either body weight or machine) and I'm able to work my lower pecs, front delts and tris without much difficulty. Thanks for the video.
Great video on upper body mass workouts! Strengthening the upper body mass is so important, and combining these exercises with a healthy diet makes the benefits even greater.
Thanks for a great video! What do you think about pull-push and vertical-horizontal pull ratios? Is it true that workload for pull exercises should be twice to three times as much compared to push exercises ratio? In addition, is it true that the horizontal-vertical pull ratio should be 2:1? (2 exercises/sets/repetitions of horizontal pull for every one vertical pull?). Thanks!
ditch shoulder press and do lateral raises. Use incline for dumbbell press and it’ll be plenty front delt. Side delts much more important if you want to look good
Yes!!! I used to love overhead db pressers. Dropped them entirely as an experiment and focused on laterals. Shoulders blew up and have become a strength.
My man love your channel, but I was just watching a video you put out a few weeks ago and you showed how the Smith machine delt press backed by studies was better for the delta than seated dumbbell presses...I'm confused because I literally switched to Smith machine presses last week instead of dumbbell presses lol
Anyone one else in their 40’s unable to progress with pull-ups not due to weakness, but due to inside elbow pain? I cannot seem to get past the grip-related barriers.
@JoeBlack1108 I literally was having this problem. I watched a video on magnesium. I've been taking 250mg a day for 2 weeks now. Has made a tremendous difference. Also there is a magnesium spray to rub directly on the pain. Hope this helps.❤
Where do you recommend setting the bench on the seated shoulder press to get some side delt activation? Straight up and down (eg 90 degrees)? Or very high incline?
Slight incline or straight up doesn't matter imo both work the side delts, I would assume the more incline the more the chest will try to get into the movement more than the shoulders add in upright rows if you want a compound for the side delts I love them
The best replacement for wide grip pull ups with free weights is the pullover. Also works your lats but through shoulder extension rather than shoulder adduction. But there are no convenient free weight exercises for shoulder adduction so the pullover is your next best choice.
2:12 "standing dumbbell = most shoulder activation" 2:19 "that said : seated dumbbell is safer and better in.. etc" don't drive me crazy by driving a different conclusion.. Seated or standing is better? And why?
Wow simply just wow bro you are doing a excellent and brilliant thing by telling about this 4 upper body exercises we need and keep it up and keep up the great work as always for all of us and take care Keep smiling always
I say no to dumbbell press its to easy to hurts yourself when you trying to put them down after the fail rep. Barbell is much safer and you are using muscles in the clean plus core and glute activities when stabilising ones self .

I wish it were true for all of us that bench strength correlates to a bigger chest. I recently turned 46 and hit 335lb on my bday and have a chest that just doesn’t want to grow.
Blud correlation isnt the same for everyone. But you cant tell me with that much of a bench your chest hasnt gotten a tiny bit bigger than when you hit 50 pounds less.
@@MaxStudy-qn4vk maybe a tiny bit. I’ve seen growth in shoulders and back, but I don’t feel like much in chest. I have the kind of build you would say bs if I told you in person I could bench that much.
Bodybuilders always want to sit down or lay down to exercise. LOL Compound exercises are all you need. Weight them. Pull-ups, dips, ATG goblet squats- all full ROM. If you do those first and need to lay down, go ahead and bench press. ✌
Can't man ..I just can't! Please lose the comedy routine! You have such a good information but I just can't make it through the stupid comedic crap! It's pointless 😔

This video is great. Pragmatic in reference to growth and safety. Keep them coming please.

Pull ups, dips, rows, ring rollouts. Done.
Great video on upper body mass workouts! Strengthening the upper body mass is so important, and combining these exercises with a healthy diet makes the benefits even greater.
You also put out a video saying the seated smith machine overhead press was the best front delt exercise...
Well done sir. Simple, scientific and clear.

@@JackWoodrup I still do shoulder press now and then but mostly just for funsies. Front delts grow like weeds, side delts need fertilizer
nope all wrong. thx for the random bro science though

Next week will be something different.
Alpha man always makes my day!
As old male I do them every 3 days 😂😂
Helo, would it be good if i trained upper body workout at tuesday and thurstday and saturday and I go to swimming at monday wendesday and friday
Dips
Pull ups
Overhead press
Thats my preference upper body choice
I think we need another 20 to 25 million training videos.
Awesome content ! I think that dips have to be included also .
Anyone one else in their 40’s unable to progress with pull-ups not due to weakness, but due to inside elbow pain? I cannot seem to get past the grip-related barriers.
Can't you use those wrist hooks? You could concentrate on the pull up and less on gripping.

Can floor press substitue bench press?

For most people a slight incline is the better option.
@@jamesfahy9954 Thanks! I do a very slight incline-just wanted to make sure it’s not taking the side delts out of the picture.
@@garymurfee4290 had that same thought a while ago myself. Everything I researched said a slight incline is the way to go. Get them gainz! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Is there a good replacement workout for the wide grip pull-up? I have a bench and all the free weights, but don’t have a pull-up bar
Dumbbell wide grip rows would probably be the best alternative
The best replacement for wide grip pull ups with free weights is the pullover. Also works your lats but through shoulder extension rather than shoulder adduction. But there are no convenient free weight exercises for shoulder adduction so the pullover is your next best choice.
I prefer standing shoulder press to hit more muscles
5:22 says chin up vs lat pull downs. Chin ups use less lat than pull ups

watch at 1.25 speed
better off if you get lost at 2x speed

@@MrMdg78 give me a break. You made the same annoying and disrespectingful joke that is put in every vid of the channel to gather some likes.

Avoid weighted dips ✔️ and rather do lateral raises then oh press ✔️
💩
aaaah, what a revelation! 😂
I Don't even see ppl under 40 doing these workouts 😂.

Pull ups and dips
