I biased my side delt training to having my arm go ahead of my body, and the rear sections did indeed blow up considerably compared to the front sections
Great video. I've noticed that when training rear delts on the reverse pec dec, that if I use a thumbs up (neutral) grip then the middle delt (M1) is in a very advantageous position for generating force. It seems like this exercise is in effect a lateral raise in a different plane, with the focus being the side and rear delts compared to the traditional lateral raise which feels more side and front delt.
Great video, I was wondering if all muscles should be targeted in their lengthened positions like the middle delt. If not, what determines if a muscle benefits from loading it's lengthened portion?
i wouldn't necessarily look at it from that perspective, but rather from a goal-specific standpoint. there's nothing "right" or "wrong" with using longer muscle length or shorter muscle length exercises, they just each have unique qualities and different characteristics that make them appropriate in some cases and less-so in others. practically speaking, this translates to my personal advice/take: train the full contractile range of a muscle throughout a week of training!
@@The_Modern_Meathead On that note, why is it that some science-based TH-camrs like Jeff Nippard and Mike Israetel emphasize training in the stretched position so much then? They claim that there's research to support that, but what's your take on it?
great video! what are your thoughts on doing pressing movements to target the front and middle delts? a guy who i recently got to know who had insane boulders for delts told me he only did pressing movements and rarely any raises. as a guy who has been very consistent with progressing in his lateral raises (38lbs for clean reps), i was surprised to hear he only did shoulder pressing and grow such huge shoulders.
Great! Please, a video about the mechanics of training the gluteus medius (and minimus) and how to avoid too much redundancy while hitting all fivers with as few exercises as possible. Thanks!
i use machine lateral raises. been progressing great with it for a while now. do you think its inherently bad to use it if i am able to progress with it just fine like other side delt exercises?
nice catch. pressing and raising motions will be specific to serratus, rowing and raising motions will be specific to traps, and pulldown/row motions will be specific to rhomboids.
just discovered u a few days ago, but now i'm binge watching. great practical knowledge w/o the clickbait. rare on youtube
You are providing some good information bro, thank you.
Best fitness content creator and it’s not even close
thanks so much for the kind words, my friend.
Shoutout to Powell Raises and Upright Rows for Side Delt training without needing to take up the limited cable stacks in a busy gym.
I enjoy doing side lateral raises with the cable between the legs attached to a wrist cuff..😊
hell yea
Absolutely great content, wish this video would reach more people who are interested in the industry

Assisto todos os seus vídeos, muito obrigado pelas aulas, esrou aprendendo bastante. Grande abraço do Brazil
Best content on the whole web
U are by far the best fitness guy on social media, you are the king, love your content ❤❤
thanks so much!! much love!
Good one
Very good and detailed video about middle shoulder details 👌🏼
appreciate it!
Great video man! Thanks!

9:33 "humor me here" was a great unintentional pun
great video! what are your thoughts on doing pressing movements to target the front and middle delts?

thanks for the kind words! presses will be great for front delt, but i'd just choose raises for middle delt.

next week's video is actually going to be on training the "upper shelf"! :) so, close enough xD
Fkn love this series. I hope that this work will pay off and soon there will be a lot of people here. W8ing for more❤
thank you very much. :)

Nice video, thank you !
Great video as always. Can you expand on that " traps, serratus, rhomboids depending on the direction comment "? Which direction is specific to each?
nice catch. pressing and raising motions will be specific to serratus, rowing and raising motions will be specific to traps, and pulldown/row motions will be specific to rhomboids.
@@The_Modern_Meathead Okay ,thank you
Thanks ben 🌹
thank you for watching!
Great vid
thanks so much!
Does shoulder presses target the middle delt in any way?
They are antagonists muscles which stabilize the joint.
👍
Subbed
the best ben
appreciate you!
👌
Let's be real. If this guy wasn't good looking we don't want to watch entire 19 minutes about shoulders
xD that's totally fair.
Yeah the guy is an expert when he doesn't even have a thousand people that watch this video! Everyone's an expert on TH-cam!😅
You're implying anyone with lower views isn't an expert?
Yapper
When people claim to know about anatomy and say „middle delt“
Middle, Medial, Lateral and Side Delt can all be used to refer to that part of the shoulder though...
tldr lol
