Wow is all i can say. I just did his shoulder workout and feel it more than any other shoulder workout i have done. Leave your ego at the door, Im 6'4 255 and found myself struggling using 10 pound weights during this. Its hard to watch a 5'9 155 pound guy trying to do 35 pound weights and not want to out peacock him. Once you forget about that and just do the routine at the end you will know why James advice is so much better. Using lighter weights also allowed me to use the correct form, you will see once you try it. You will also notice just how many people at the gym use heavy weights with horrible form. I also had no pain in my shoulders using lighter weight, just soreness. There is a ton of videos on working out, I used to just watch CT's all I can say is if you havent tried James workout what is the harm in trying the next time yo go to the gym? I am truly glad i found his videos and look forward to the gaines from watching them.
I'm in tears right now!! This is the BEST video ever; I've had severe chronic left shoulder impingement for years. The arm was soooo weak I could barely lift a tissue. I'd done a course of physiotherapy. No one's ever shown or explained or made me understand what, how...how to fix it. I just rather 'automatedly' tried to recreate the physio exercises at home. I am so thankful to have stumbled across this easy, explanatory video...APPLAUSE (I'm clapping) you even have a skeleton & threaded that band through & now it all makes such SIMPLE sense. I've been in the gym for 18 months now. I know I've strenghtened & getting a better core. I've been 6 months focusing on my shoulders & I can do lateral raises around 20 lbs, I can do 20-25 lb shoulder shrugs. I can bench press 30 lbs. I mean all of this was unheard of!! I'm just ever so grateful for this video. Out of the seemingly 100,000 out there, this is the best I've ever seen!! It's my go-to, favourite...one & only!!
Google "Cable shoulder internal rotations" and "Cable shoulder external rotations" I had to do physical therapy for years, these were a major part of me being able to use my arms again. In conjunction with these exercises, I'm sure they will help you build your strength as well.
oh wow!! Best explanation on the pinched nerve!! Thanks for the great video! I had so much problems with pinched nerve in the past without finding answers. Simple and clear demonstration!! Thanks again.
Push day on Monday. Gonna work this stuff into my routine. Been doing supersets too. It cuts my session literally in half and pits the intensity level through the roof. Cant wait for the rest of this series.
This is EXACTLY what i was going to comment 5 videos ago lmfao XD. Seriously though, you popped up on recommended and unlike other trainers that just simply give people the exercises and that's it D: , you get more specific into not only the forms but simultaneously describe the do's and don'ts while also giving a better understanding of the general mind- muscle connection for each muscle group which is key for improvement and ultimately perfection thank you so much for your videos they've helped me with my shoulder popping issues/ imperfections :) +1 subscriber, though i doubt you'll see this comment out the pile of thousands of others XD.
I agree 100% with this. I have had rotator cuff issues for years however fortunate to have been blessed with good delts , I have built them more since laying on my side on an incline bench doing my side delts unilaterally. The tension is through the entire range of motion without the ability to swing or shrug into into the movement. As always great info here James..Thank you! Cheers from Australia
At last, someone who talks to the viewer like a man, not like some gooning shouting imbecile. Telling me stuff I had forgotten. I once suffered from "Supraspinatous Syndrome" so know all about inflammation of the area. This is the best video I've seen on here. Real world stuff. Well done mate.
thanks a lot for your tips. keep it up man .. as a person who goes to the gym, the explanations are good for me and some trainers do not fully explain in detail as you do. keep up the good work mate
Just wanted to thank you for these videos. Knowledge is key! I could leave this same comment on every video because I watch them all. Please keep up the amazing work! You are so helpful, I really appreciate all you do!
bro tnx alot for the tips for chest workout i have never had a pump when i trained chest but with your tips my chest so pumped up i can not even belive it
thanks for the insight.. had this problem in my shoulders that required surgery back in feb..still not fully healed but ill keep that starting range in mind! keep up the good videos
Shoulders tomorrow. I'm glad that you talked about not working your anterior deltoids on shoulder day. I've been thinking about this for awhile now which is why I put a day between my chest/tricep day with my shoulder day. I have also been doing something similar with my sets. Set 1 = Lighter weight for 15 reps, set 2 = heavier weight for 12 reps, set 3 = heavier weight for 8 reps followed by dropping the weight by 50% until about 2 reps before failure. I'm going to try your 4 set method!
Hey James, thanks for being genuine, sincere, no bull shitting, and focused on teaching the viewers. keep crushin' it. Would you consider doing a video on going from the gym to the kitchen? How do you get "the abs" diet? cardio on lifting day? fasting? how do you get those really low pubic abs? crunches? must do's and must don't? (Biceps still sore from your workout!)
Man... I love the explanation and details for your videos... Thank you for giving us an understanding behind the science of training... We appreciate your efforts... Keep the videos coming... We depend on it...
For the upright row if you want to activate the side delt then use a wide grip and also bend slighlty forward. This will remove the traps out and you should feel it a lot in your rear delts and side delts
Can't believe I just found your channel a few days ago while looking at chest workouts! Great stuff, insightful and affirming many thoughts I have had but hadn't seen otherwise. You make great videos James, thanks!
dude, I really love your videos from the very first, bonez is a genius invention too ! and : your exercises are often a bit alternate from the usual stuff , and the details you explain throughout the exercise are always spot on! which I like very much. keep it like THIS James !
Great advise got my notification turned on for this channel. Your arms and chest vids I've worked into my sets now waiting for next weeks shoulder then I hope you do back 👍
Thank you! This is one excellent advice of the role of supraspinatus in connection to the schoulderpains and weight training of lateral middle Deltoids.
today i will hit shoulders in the gym,i've already started to do up-right row with dumbells in this new program,and now i'm sure that this is better ;) i will try to change the form of dumbell lateral raises ;)
your awesome bro you'll be super popular before too long if you keep giving us the secrets no-one else wants us to know about, I watch many bodybuilding UA-cam channels probably over a 1000 total from all ranges and populsrity, and you are on your way to becoming big just keep on giving us the secrets that everyone else it too greedy to give or not as knowledgeable
Love your videos man> great tips/advice> cover all the details, then f/u with a workout video> awesome. I have been building a home gym have up to 50lbs DB's. so maxed out on a lot of lifts,,, figured I could do everything with barbell> presses, bent over rows, etc but i guess heavy Db's have their place, gonna have to invest in some.
There is no technique that will eliminate the posture where your shoulders are turned downward. As soon as they rotate like that, you are in snap city.
Shoulders turned downward ? No such thing with upright rows. Don't know what you guys are doing but there's nothing wrong with this exercise. Being doing it for years and I'm seeing great results and no awkward feeling that I get from lateral raises. Ben Pakulski says it's perfectly fine too. And he's an expert.
nvmffs your horribly wrong. When physical therapists test people for impingement they literally put your arm in the same position as an upright row and apply pressure on your hands and tell you to try to fight the pressure to see if you have an impingement. Thats because that position causes internal rotation of the rotator cuff whether you think your arms are turned downward or not.
Great video as usual James! On a side note,Sick triceps there man,your long head goes all the way down to the elbow,giving your arm fullness. Wish mine were like yours haha
When pushing in front of the head you using BOTH the lateral and the anterior head. Same goes for front lifts. You dont have to use one single side lateral in your life to get big side delts. Its a waste of time. Get big on barbell pushing in frontr of head and you will get huge side delts And dont try to fixate the shoulder girdle down that will cause dysfunctional scapular movement. The scapula is suposed to rotate uppwards when elevating the arm and the traps does that along side the seratus anterior.
Wow is all i can say. I just did his shoulder workout and feel it more than any other shoulder workout i have done. Leave your ego at the door, Im 6'4 255 and found myself struggling using 10 pound weights during this.

Watching you has taught me a lot and I appreciate your great instruction. Thank You.
This was one of the most helpful videos i've seen on the delts!

Right before I was about to do lateral raises, I get notified with this. Nice timing!
Not just a workout routine for specific body parts but reasons on why correct form is so critical. Thanks many times over.
This channel deserves more subscribers. So much valuable info here. And it's free!
oh wow!! Best explanation on the pinched nerve!! Thanks for the great video! I had so much problems with pinched nerve in the past without finding answers. Simple and clear demonstration!! Thanks again.
awesome videos, completely modifying my workouts as a result. Great stuff.
This is probably the best lateral raises tutorial on UA-cam, no disrespect to the other popular UA-camrs/ pro bodybuilders. But this is a 10/10
Push day on Monday. Gonna work this stuff into my routine. Been doing supersets too. It cuts my session literally in half and pits the intensity level through the roof. Cant wait for the rest of this series.
Thanks my friend. Full shoulder routine will be hitting next week.
One of the best jobs describing techniques. You've gained another subscriber. Keep em coming. TY
Thanks. I like these simple, clear explanations.
Just discovered your videos this week. They are amazing. I have never learnt so much from one small video. Thank you.
Ah, these are the best tutorials on UA-cam :D Can definitely compete with Jeff from AthleanX!
Hey my friend. Glad you're enjoying them
I second this. Him and Jeff together would be unreal.
what I do is that I switch which arm i am supersetting with. Set one and 3 i start with the right and 2 and 4 with the left.
This is EXACTLY what i was going to comment 5 videos ago lmfao XD.

You're very welcome!

Great channel and video James.Your the he AthleanX of bodybuilding! 😀💪
Love your videos man> great tips/advice> cover all the details, then f/u with a workout video> awesome.
I have been building a home gym have up to 50lbs DB's. so maxed out on a lot of lifts,,,
figured I could do everything with barbell> presses, bent over rows, etc but i guess heavy Db's have their place, gonna have to invest in some.
Hey James! You Helped me a lot after month I can see really great results Thank You so much God Bless Bro.
Upright rows are no bueno for you shoulder joint.
Not really, you just need better technique.
There is no technique that will eliminate the posture where your shoulders are turned downward. As soon as they rotate like that, you are in snap city.
Shoulders turned downward ? No such thing with upright rows. Don't know what you guys are doing but there's nothing wrong with this exercise. Being doing it for years and I'm seeing great results and no awkward feeling that I get from lateral raises. Ben Pakulski says it's perfectly fine too. And he's an expert.
Many people agree Lucas.

Thats because that position causes internal rotation of the rotator cuff whether you think your arms are turned downward or not.
Wow, no one ever said that my supraspinatus could be OVER developed! No wonder all those extra rotator cuff exercises aren't working. Thanks!
When i do my crossovers i just pretend like I'm Allen Iverson
Love your vids James! I'm glad someone still throws the science and mechanics into workouts💪🏻💪🏻
keep it up James this is just cool beans.
thanks
looking forward for the next vid.
Great video as usual James!
On a side note,Sick triceps there man,your long head goes all the way down to the elbow,giving your arm fullness.
Wish mine were like yours haha
Thanks brother!
This guy knows his stuff
Thank you for a great explanation. Loved this video.
