How to Get Bigger Shoulders Fast

(JUST DO THIS!)

By ultimate warrior ( gym trainer)Published 3 years ago 4 min read

What's up guys, I'm going to show you today how to get your shoulders

growing again fast. And I promise you, if you do exactly what I show you, it's going to work

for every single person that tries it. The issue is your shoulders don't grow maybe as

fast as you want them to because you're doing a couple of things wrong. Number one, you're not

training your Real Delt enough. And we talk about shoulders, especially that front to back depth,

the Rear Delt is a large component, not just a little bit of a component,

a large component of what we're talking about. Anatomically, I was blessed with a couple of

freckles here that work as some landmarks. I want to show you something. If I were to go in this

position here, this freckle is sort of towards the front line of my Mid Delt, here's the split of the

Mid Delt. And this freckle back here is almost at, about an inch ahead of the back side of my Rear

Delt. You can see when you look from the side, this is the Front Delt right here, the whole rest

of the shoulder, the massing of it comes from the Middle and the Rear Delt. So, we can get

an exercise that would allow us to build that, we would be been doing good for ourselves.

The second thing is we don't necessarily train the Rear Delt, and when we do heavy enough because

it's capable of handling heavier loads and when we do that, that's when the magic happens. So,

here's what we do, we grab a set of dumbbells on the ground kneeling. Now you can do this standing,

but the benefit of doing the kneeling position is that you get away from some of the momentum

you might use from your lower body to do this. I want to load this exercise a little bit heavier,

but make sure that the Rear Delt in the Mid Delt are doing all the work.

So, I get in this position here and I grab my dumbbells, I'm in this kneeling position. Now, I'm

going to do it as it's called the hip hugger. I'm going to drag the dumbbells up towards my hips.

But at the same time, the key for me is to get my elbows back behind my body as far as I can go.

Extension of the arm at the shoulder is what drives the Rear Delt engagement.

The higher up into extension I get, the more that Rear Delt I get. Okay, now the second thing I

know I need to have for that Mid Delt is we need some abduction of the elbow away from the body.

So, I want to be able to get that out and abduct the arm away from my body as much as I can.

But it's driven by the motion backwards. Because if I stay in the front plain here,

the frontal plane, or if I go even a little bit forward, what I do is I turn this into almost

a Kneeling Upright Row, which is no less shitty than the Standing Upright Row. So, what I do is

I get here and that would be a bad position. So, if I actually were to do this and be able

to stare down from my side here, stare in this direction and see my elbows in front of my body,

I'm not doing it right. There are too far in front, that's abduction without the extension

of the arm. If the elbow stays back behind my body like it should and I look to the left. I

can't see my elbow, okay? I can't see any of that. So that's what you want to look for. Peek that way

and see if you can see your elbow. So again, this position here,

I'm going to drive it into extension and then get the abduction at the shoulder as well here,

up in there, up into extension and then that abduction. Extension and abduction. I get a

good squeeze. Now, the weights I'm using here, I kind of tweener weights. They're not the real

lightweights that people use for Rear Delts and they're not super heavy like you would be using

for, let's say, an Overhead Press or Dumbbell Press. We're not replacing the need for those

weights, we're complimenting them. And when you do that, that's when the real magic happens.

Now, let's say I want to finish this off and I want to get more of the front out here because

I can benefit from adding that in the same weight will work in the drop set or let's

say a thirty second rest after the first set to go right into something we call a Scoop Press.

And from the Scoop Press, I just get in this position here, elbows down, locked in place,

ninety degrees. Scoop it underneath in press down scoop, press here, scoop and press.

I'm not curling, just back, scoop and press. Good stretch in the front at the bottom here, up the

elbows underneath, drive them up at the top. And again, as long as you avoid

bringing them out in front of your body here, you'll get away from that internal rotation,

upright row position and more to that extra rotation, almost high pole position. Guys give

this a try, and I promise you it will work to help you to build bigger shoulders. If you're
