This channel is so refreshing. u actually made the gym fun again. And you're right, getting a temporary pump doesn't make you feel good about yourself, leaving the gym feeling like you won with new strength achivements or whatever else does, and it stays with you too.
real respect to boogz for keeping it real and raw 100% throughout his entire online career. from day 1 hes been putting out minimally edited videos, leaving no wisdom watered down or locked behind paywall courses, pantsing the shills, consistently uploads even through the rough terrain, still has an ultimate fiery passion for the pursuit of lifting. most of the optimal lifting youtoobers started out with pure intent but now just exist in the game like ghosts of their past selves with money machines for mouths, rehashing out the same material from years ago because they have nothing new to show, no passion. just shillery. mr spice exists here as a beacon of light in the fog for the real lifters who still dream of greatness
Your point on people who say “I don’t care” is spot on and very well said. I hope you get a million views on this video. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t even think about it.
I think a lot of people miss the advantage of all the overlapping (so-called) "junk" volume from the old school lifts. 5 sets of BB rows plus 5 sets of squats is like getting 10 light-moderate sets of erector work for free. Why do we even want to maximize isolation? Is it really so bad to put a little volume on the tricep while working the pec? Or to hit the glutes while hitting quads? Do we really think we're smart and diligent enough to micro manage the whole body like that? I take Jeff and Dr. Mikes advice for some of my hypertrophy-focused accessory work, but most of my work is still heavy barbell compounds, focusing on the movement, not the muscle.
Because majority of us are natural lifters. All of that horse lifting is for the dudes on the juice who can recover 10000x faster than a normal 35 year old Dad. ISO workouts have been proven more effective. That matters to a natural lifter because it takes us like 15 years of insane lifting just to look half as good as Eric. If you’re not natty, then by all means go in the gym and LITERALLY throw weights around and overlap non stop. You can’t do any wrong when the special orange juice.
@@ruminating1596 I'm natural, and went nowhere with isolation focus until I started lifting heavy. Basic 5x5 got me going. In 2019 I did "Bulgarian style" heavy squat singles (90%+, 365-395lb at the time), 6-7 days a week, for 12 weeks leading into a powerlifting meet. It beat me up eventually, but I PRd my squat at 185kg (407lb) and transitioned to lighter volume work after without issue. I quit for a few years after that, but I will likely do a similar cycle for bench at some point now that I'm back. Hoping for 600lb deadlift in the next 2 years. I have never met anyone who got respectably jacked or strong doing iso only, ever. I see a ton of scrawny young guys, including some that admit to juicing, getting nowhere that way. A lot of the juicers think I juice, but I just train harder than them and I don't avoid the hard lifts. Ive done 20 rep squats up to 275lb... I've never seen anyone else at my gym even try that, juice or no. (I'm 38 years old, and start lifting as my first athletic endeavor ever at 29). The studies don't account for the fact that most people are half-assing it, and can definitely benefit from the overlap, since they are nowhere near the limit to begin with. I'm very science based...which is why it took me so long to give up on the "optimal" crap. So glad I did.
@@ruminating1596 its literally the opposite, lmfao. for natural lifters, horsing is what builds myonuclei and thus muscular potential. its the bullshit cable, iso workouts that ONLY work for steroid users. that's why you see mass monsters doing high volume, super light, pump workouts and still getting massive. mind boggling that someone could be so wrong and confident.
The accusation that Jeff is not disclosing sponsorship by some of these companies is kind of a serious accusation but so spot on. Like it makes so much sense.
To me, all that stabilizing you have to do with free weights is half the point of using free weights. I want to train that stability because it will have carry over into every day life.
@@MR12AMAZINGPlenty? When you get strong you can lift every everyday object that way, and in some cases it's more beneficial even. Lift a dirty dog away from your clothes, take groceries out of the car trunk etc.
33:51 the TLDR that we did not know we needed. Thank you so much for this speech, it actually resonated a lot with me. I will start horsecocking the weights from now on.
As a soon to be physio Eric is a genuine source of inspiration no cap. These shoulder exercises he showed are fucking fire will use them with my patients 100%
Pressing overhead has single handledly build my shoulders and arms like nothing else. I do both strict press (with a barbell) and push press (with a log) in the same week and my shoulders have become absolute boulders - I have log pressed 120kg (uploaded on my channel) and strict pressed 105kg and I get more out of that then any pencilneck cable supported partial yadda yadda. All of my shoulder accessories are a variation of an overhead press (pin press, seated, banded, etc).
100 percent. The other shoulder exercises pale in comparison because the weights used are so light. Heavy OHP makes your shoulders enormous; it’s just an insanely demanding exercise, so people don’t want to do it
I think you have the loading part on point. Its much easier to load the bar on an ohp and thats why its my favourite exercise. But, you gotta agree that cables and stuff are not possessed by the devil or anything, even eric says that if you can’t go in the gym and try new exercises that makes sense to do and have some fun in the way…why are we all here at the end of the day
I saw Jeff's video post last night and was instantly stoked cause I knew what time it was, didn't even watch it just waited to come home from work today and watch Dr density break it down and have a laugh. Totally agree with the dumbell lat raise point you made. Jeff knows. He just can't sell the basics that work on a flashy video. I don't good it against him as a lifter though. I blame the science based marketing he's tied to and has to always promote.
As someone who has scoliosis and my left lat and trap was transected at birth, I've learned to workout for my own body because all those basic exercises everyone recommends always just hurt and felt like crap on my back and neck, hearing eric talk about changing up your exercises and trying different stuff is great. Everyone's body is unique in some form and I really recommend to people to try stuff out and see what works best for you.
I LOVE db lateral raises. Love them. S tier for me. Also I am glad I found this channel. It's nice to hear a alternative way of thinking towards training. So many people right now are saying the same stuff. Sometimes I just want to lift really heavy shit and feel real strong.
Building my OHP built my yoke better than anything else...thats not to say i don't do the fluff lat raises, and cable raises.. but the OHP is the king for upper body.
Sticky... brother... I could listen to Dr. Density's dissertations designed to develop dramatic dubious delts all frickin day.... and I did watch this whole thing.... but that was a 15 minute video you got halfway through in 56 minutes. 🤣🤣
I see your videos since, idk, 2018? and everything you are saying in your videos nowadays you already said in your older videos. It's crazy how consistent you are, and this inspires me a lot
Thank you for being maaaaa friend! As usual I couldn't give 2 FRICKS about these pencil-neck youtubers. The real value of these videos are the endless JOHNNY GIRTH GOLDEN TIDBITS! Cheers Mr Spice!
As I understand that all this is mainly a battle of influencer artificially promoting extreme styles, you are spot on regarding the "more range of mention with dumbbells" argument. More people need to talk about it.
johnny pencil neck really gonna tell me with a straight face to do a 5 lb cable lateral raise with a 3-1-3 tempo instead of dumbell raising 50 lbs as hard as i can. So many people on the science based side of things always argue "well how do you know youre hitting the right muscle?!". Brother its gonna be pretty damn hard for my side delt not to activate when im lateral raising the heaviest weights i physically can do.
In defense of the Arnold lying lateral raise: yeah they're kind of lame and I probably wouldn't take up a bench doing them at a public gym, but in my garage they're just an easy way to get some side delt volume. I don't have the best fatigue recovery abilities so sometimes a fluff isolation lift that doesn't involve any core bracing or stabilizing is nice. I gotta save that fatigue for the big compounds. To me it's the same reason one would sometimes choose a preacher curl over a heavy standing curl.
I tried different variations of lateral raises, but this is the only exercise that does not cause pain and cracking in my shoulders, and i have really bad shoulders. Because you're lying down, you have the same tension as standing lateral raises without raising your arms too high, and also not at such a right angle to your core, still engaging most of your side delts without shifting emphasis to your front delts as if you were doing it standing. Feels like a more natural movement for me.
I learned the 6 ways exercise from a John meadows video, brutal delt finisher. Thought it would make an appearance on Jeffs list but instead we get the 360 behind the back X delt raise
I find it ironic that cable laterals are Jeff's #1 pick for side delts, considering you'll be spending several weeks if not MONTHS at the same weight increment before you can progress in weight, and progression is one of Jeff's criteria
I started lifting weights last June after like 18 yrs of laziness and I hit 225 for almost 2 reps on OHP a couple weeks ago when maxin' out. Pretty stoked
The biggest golden tidbit in this video is Eric talking about the gift of being injured. I've had it both ways - where I discovered new movements and made progress, or where I lamented being hurt and lost everything. The first guy is more useful.
I really like what you say about how you don't have to overly focus on very strictly following a known movement pattern and experimenting how smaller and bigger adjustments to the known pattern makes your joints and muscles feel. I've never liked standing straight like a candle on my lateral raises, its putting you in a position where you'll be lifting baby weights for years. I like bending forward a little even if it means my traps help move the weight, I can go way heavier and still get high reps and it feels way better for my delts as well. The shoulder joint certainly has a big range of movement possibilities. If I wanna go lighter I do egyptian raises
30:52 "I don't care about being strong", "Yea, that's because you aren't strong". However much satire there is in this video, this statement is spot on.
Barbell behind the neck press + barbell front raises + Dumbbell lateral raises + Machine rear delt / Cable rear delt crossover. That's my go to shoulder workout right now.
I love how this is mostly PREview rather than REview. He watches 2 seconds and immediately starts to shit on everything Nipples is probably gonna say next. Absolutely LOVE IT!
when i got into lifting and the gym i was watching Jeff and other influencers a lot. eventually i tuned out of everything and did my own thing. Then i stumbled upon Dr Density and followed his advice of horse c*cking heavy loads and have started to see some decent gains. Thanks Eric! appreciate your channel :)
First time I don't agree at all with Eric, the lying on the side laterals are amazing, I do it on the floor, I progress much faster with that than both standard laterals/full rom laterals.
This one spoke to my soul - especially the bit on OHP. Got into a squabble recently with a well-known Instagram "science based" guy that was trying to poo-poo the OHP. Bugez argument here is everything I needed.
Also. Why is Dr Mike and him and others taking the classic LU lateral raise that was named after the Olympic weightlifter who made them popular and now calling is super ROM lateral raise. Its already named. And is known to work upper back and shoulder and bulletproof your shoulder girdle. All they did was change the way they hold the weights at the top of movement above the head and change the name and act like they came up with some new badass movement based on science. Been doing lu laterals for years and knew about them decades ago
Also, the Lying Side Lateral Raise, or Arnold Raises as some call them, are actually called Powell Raises. Been doing them on and off for near 2 years and now out of nowhere everybody is talking about them and calling them Lying Side Lateral Raises. I specifically remember leaving a comment on one of the Science channels asking why they never talked about Powell Raises maybe 1+ years ago. Now they are always mentioned by these youtubers. You can do them slowly but also get let the Dumbell Start to swing towards the end of the set for extra reps. I love them and yes they do stretch your delts. They for sure work your side/rear delts differently than regular Lateral Raises.
I personally hate when exercises are named after people. I almost guarantee somebody else came up with the Lu Raise before Lu did. Tom Platz definitely did not invent heel elevated squats. The only exception is Zercher variations because I have no idea what else you would call those.

As I understand that all this is mainly a battle of influencer artificially promoting extreme styles, you are spot on regarding the "more range of mention with dumbbells" argument. More people need to talk about it.
This was more highly anticipated than the presidential debate.
The dog snoring is the best. You should add it as a soundtrack to other videos too. :D
This video strengthened the mindset
Great breakdown Boogz, very informational. Thank you.
u have implanted a fear of straight bar skullcrushers even tho i never tried them
People break their back bending to tie their shoes, I’m not afraid of anything, I could crash my car next week and die
They're totally fine, just not as forgiving with a weight you can't handle
4:59 Whaddaya think Mama? All I need is a title. I was thinkin along the lines of "No coffee and no gym make Ricky something something..."
The dumbbell lateral raise is goated. The cables can not compete!!!!!!
johnny pencil neck really gonna tell me with a straight face to do a 5 lb cable lateral raise with a 3-1-3 tempo instead of dumbell raising 50 lbs as hard as i can. So many people on the science based side of things always argue "well how do you know youre hitting the right muscle?!". Brother its gonna be pretty damn hard for my side delt not to activate when im lateral raising the heaviest weights i physically can do.
Factual
Ive been checking all day for this, lol.
In defense of the Arnold lying lateral raise: yeah they're kind of lame and I probably wouldn't take up a bench doing them at a public gym, but in my garage they're just an easy way to get some side delt volume. I don't have the best fatigue recovery abilities so sometimes a fluff isolation lift that doesn't involve any core bracing or stabilizing is nice. I gotta save that fatigue for the big compounds. To me it's the same reason one would sometimes choose a preacher curl over a heavy standing curl.
I tried different variations of lateral raises, but this is the only exercise that does not cause pain and cracking in my shoulders, and i have really bad shoulders. Because you're lying down, you have the same tension as standing lateral raises without raising your arms too high, and also not at such a right angle to your core, still engaging most of your side delts without shifting emphasis to your front delts as if you were doing it standing. Feels like a more natural movement for me.
1:47 had me turning around thinking it was my dog🤣
I learned the 6 ways exercise from a John meadows video, brutal delt finisher. Thought it would make an appearance on Jeffs list but instead we get the 360 behind the back X delt raise
Didn't even include behind the neck press.
Though I understand as the pencil necks surely would tweak their shoulders
Leave it to Mr. Beefy to snore through Ragnarök itself. MR. BEE-FEE! Thank you for being a friend!
Dr density biceps are insane
I find it ironic that cable laterals are Jeff's #1 pick for side delts, considering you'll be spending several weeks if not MONTHS at the same weight increment before you can progress in weight, and progression is one of Jeff's criteria
You can progress without adding weight though. Add reps and sets
What the frick Dr density we want part 2.
Fr!
I started lifting weights last June after like 18 yrs of laziness and I hit 225 for almost 2 reps on OHP a couple weeks ago when maxin' out. Pretty stoked
Girth hellya
impressive horsecocking
Absolutely rotund
nice bro
Absolute Horsecockery
That video description by itself makes this great
Rick has the best vocabulary 🤣😆
Thank you for being our friend Ricky
The biggest golden tidbit in this video is Eric talking about the gift of being injured. I've had it both ways - where I discovered new movements and made progress, or where I lamented being hurt and lost everything.
The first guy is more useful.
Seriously, it should be fun and there is always time for a 10-20min workout to add into your day! Great speech here !
I really like what you say about how you don't have to overly focus on very strictly following a known movement pattern and experimenting how smaller and bigger adjustments to the known pattern makes your joints and muscles feel. I've never liked standing straight like a candle on my lateral raises, its putting you in a position where you'll be lifting baby weights for years. I like bending forward a little even if it means my traps help move the weight, I can go way heavier and still get high reps and it feels way better for my delts as well. The shoulder joint certainly has a big range of movement possibilities. If I wanna go lighter I do egyptian raises
Commenting to keep horsin’ this algorithm your way, Sticky Ricky
Just What We Needed
30:52 "I don't care about being strong", "Yea, that's because you aren't strong".
However much satire there is in this video, this statement is spot on.
Real ones with always know that overhead press is the SECRET to superhero alpha aesthetic physique 😉
Barbell behind the neck press + barbell front raises + Dumbbell lateral raises + Machine rear delt / Cable rear delt crossover.
That's my go to shoulder workout right now.
I love how this is mostly PREview rather than REview. He watches 2 seconds and immediately starts to shit on everything Nipples is probably gonna say next. Absolutely LOVE IT!
when i got into lifting and the gym i was watching Jeff and other influencers a lot. eventually i tuned out of everything and did my own thing. Then i stumbled upon Dr Density and followed his advice of horse c*cking heavy loads and have started to see some decent gains. Thanks Eric! appreciate your channel :)
I thought that was so awesome your animals are so cute. So real in your videos. ❤
ITS NOT ABOUT YOU JEFF!!!
Doctor of Horsecockology vs Professor of pencilneckology
Sultan of Succulence v The Count of Cuckology
I was waiting for this when I saw it this morning lol
First time I don't agree at all with Eric, the lying on the side laterals are amazing, I do it on the floor, I progress much faster with that than both standard laterals/full rom laterals.
This one spoke to my soul - especially the bit on OHP. Got into a squabble recently with a well-known Instagram "science based" guy that was trying to poo-poo the OHP. Bugez argument here is everything I needed.
Clean and press is the king of lifts.
beefy can feel the passion and just can't help but bark i love it
That does it, next push day I am doing some stirring the pot, swimming motion and y press out horsecockery for shoulders
Also. Why is Dr Mike and him and others taking the classic LU lateral raise that was named after the Olympic weightlifter who made them popular and now calling is super ROM lateral raise. Its already named. And is known to work upper back and shoulder and bulletproof your shoulder girdle. All they did was change the way they hold the weights at the top of movement above the head and change the name and act like they came up with some new badass movement based on science. Been doing lu laterals for years and knew about them decades ago
Stuff like this is making me dislike Dr Mike. He’s a cool guy with a lot of knowledge but he’s becoming more pencil neck by the day
Also, the Lying Side Lateral Raise, or Arnold Raises as some call them, are actually called Powell Raises. Been doing them on and off for near 2 years and now out of nowhere everybody is talking about them and calling them Lying Side Lateral Raises. I specifically remember leaving a comment on one of the Science channels asking why they never talked about Powell Raises maybe 1+ years ago. Now they are always mentioned by these youtubers.
You can do them slowly but also get let the Dumbell Start to swing towards the end of the set for extra reps. I love them and yes they do stretch your delts. They for sure work your side/rear delts differently than regular Lateral Raises.
Commented this on Jeff’s video and someone said I didn’t know what I was talking about 🤷🏾♂️
I personally hate when exercises are named after people. I almost guarantee somebody else came up with the Lu Raise before Lu did. Tom Platz definitely did not invent heel elevated squats.
The only exception is Zercher variations because I have no idea what else you would call those.
That’s just the way the world works lol. You think Lu was the first to do that? He probably saw it of someone else and ect.
I’ve been waiting for the stick!!
