Damn yall dont know... I think it because you all fallow the most trandiest instead of the most efficacious. I will poste a physique update for those how interested to see what i manage do to whith the free video of AthleanX from 0 to Now (4years) and if yall want i can explain how i did it.
I believe he recently said a study which has taken place, in some movements just doing the stretch made more muscle/hypertrophy gains than the contraction in itself.
Unless it's more than twice as efficient, it's not worth it. With this method, it takes twice as long as regular because you can only do one arm at a time.
@@brunogamer777 but that still takes longer. It takes maybe 30 seconds for your arms to rest after doing a set. It takes maybe a minute to do a set. So that's about 30 seconds wasted per set.
Only reason he does it like this because he has not figure outt how to do it the normal way. Example when you do it the normal way you don't need to bring your arms right back past your shoulders like the first form he showed. Once you figure it out on how to do it normal theirs no need to do this but saying this you probs can add it in to your routine though so you can focus on them individually
Bro, you’ve changed my life in the gym. I’ve noticed MASSIVE gains and muscle definition since. Keep up this amazing work dude. You’re gonna save many joints, and time in the gym for people not to waste opportunity with their workouts. Subbed for you boss 🖤
@alperallen4854 no it doesn’t. You can’t count it like that. You get the best results where you have the biggest range of motion, not with how much you stretch it.
Gave this a try roughly 7 minutes ago. Felt awkward at first, but I could definitely feel the difference! Will be incorporating this into my workouts. Thank you.
The machine at Pf is a bit different but when I finally learned how to adjust myself to keep my chest perpendicular, man it has been a game changer for my rear delts
@@averageteenlifter lol nope she actually asked how many sets I had left and I said about 2-3. Then I asked her if she wanted to work in with me and she said yes and then she taught me that variation lol
It actually isnt as delts dont benefit from stretch mediated hypertrophy.The only that do are chest and the lower body muscles.And muscles like biceps dont grow better from stretch they just have the best leverage at the 0-90 degree portion.A muscle that is very bad to train at stretch is tricep as it has the best levarege from mid to shorten position so for example you stop at around 90 degrees on your tricep pushdown to about full luckout. Hope it helps❤
@@adriann8954 Scientific literature regarding the benefits of focusing on the stretched part of the lift is literally the most recent study regarding hypertrophy, how is it that you just come here saying what specific muscles it works on? To know something more advanced than the most recent study only makes sense if you are a time traveler😅 😅
Doing rear delts with your arms straight out like this is one of the most widely practiced mistakes I see in the gym. You get so much better activation when you keep your elbow loose and don’t allow the tricep to get involved.
Right it’s better when you get a smooth arc going. I’ve even moved away from gripping tightly on some exercise and use palms (false grip ?). Much better contractions
Broooo... never ever I got my rear delts pumped like that before, awesome way. after trying this multiple times on my back day here are some tips that might help 1) sit little outer on the bench, by doing this I feel the motion more comfortable and natural for my shoulders 2)try to think of covering maximum area from your arm while performing rep
Literally did this less than 8 hours ago and I'm just now seeing this. Always go for the stretch. Biceps can grow through basically anything. Underhanded grip on pulldowns does a good job at breaking plateau's
Is there a faster but also efficient exercise to target both rear delts simultaneously? I try to avoid exercises where I do the left and right muscles one after the other because I find them to be more time consuming, like this one here.
That's the thing, the machines are designed for efficiency so you could say that there is a slight sacrifice of stretch and isolation in favor of economy of movement and therefore time...but honestly this is not as much of a magic trick game-changer as everyone here is making it out to be. If it was, wouldn't they have just designed the machine to do the movement like he is? Or does everybody really think hes the first one to ever have this thought? There is always a trade-off and there are always relative compromises that have to be made with the time we spend training. No magic tickets, but also always room for a novel approach
I tried this yesterday for the first time and my rear delts were sore by the time I got home. Great exercise and I'll be sure to incorporate this into my workouts.
I’m going to start this 👍🏻 Update : tried this 2 days ago and have never been more sore in my rear delt all though I couldn’t fully lock out cos of the machine stopping , deffo doing it this way from now on.
Watching your video has had me learn so much about training and how it’s more about stretching the muscles than the weight if that makes sense the big stretch you get the more gains to come with.
God bless you jeff, all this info u giving out for free rlly is super helpful to ppl who cant pay for a program, fr thanks a lot man, Jesus loves you❤🔥
Wow BigCrater, great video! For some reason this scene brings to mind a movie I saw once, where a giant, angry green guy suddenly punches his teammate, a blonde warrior with a hammer, out of anger. It was a hilarious moment in the middle of all the chaos, and I can't stop laughing right now!😅
Pro tip- if the machine stops half way, you can turn your chest towards the machine when you’re contracting to get a better squeeze in your rear delt, and go back to the side for the eccentric to get that stretch like he’s saying.
A better way if you dont want to sit sideways, raise the seat as high as you can, move the butt as far back and you can. This will make it so the rear delts are working closer to a 45 degree angle
Oh, yeah, used to love doing these at Marina Athletic Club. Total stretch and you can really feel it perfectly. The building had totally free flowing air. Sometimes they’d be shooting for muscle & fitness. That was awesome.
My rear delts, no matter how hard I work them, have EVER been sore before. I did these and my rear delts are on fire. I can tell they will be sore for two or three days. This will be in my delt workout from now on.
I just tried this and my rear delts was sore the next day. I usually don't ever get sore on my rear delts just doing the regular rear delt fly. But this, takes the cake
I really like this technique not only for the stretch, but also because it lets me stare directly at the person on the machine next to me
haha 😂
Stare mediated hypertrophy
*anabolic eye contact intensifies*
Is it you? Dr Mike?
You aren't lifting unless you are staring into the abyss.
Ongod I tried this and my rear delts absolutely exploded. By far one of the best training adjustments I've ever made. Thank you, Jeff.

This one is valid tho, the stretched part is most important for growing muscle
Not really because everyone else will be doing them

Same. I like the cables
Yeah this would be better than cables because the machines have equal tension throughout the whole range of motion

Better VFX than Star Wars now
This is great apart from the 4 hr wait to use said machine is now 8 hr

Tried this with a chest cable flys. Feels even better than the machine used in this clip. Much appreciated, Jeff.

Im going to go hard with your videos bro. Absolutely what I needed to be efficient.
Im the only person doing those at every gym I go and guess who's delts look the best?

Looks like a great technique! Gonna give it a try. Thanks Jeff.
my fav is when your on cables, you go one down from shoulder height, and use those with the biggest stretch possible, and on the last set do partials
This is good for a stretch at the beginning, but not for ending contraction. I like cables better. You can fully stretch and fully contract.
Awesome tip, can't wait to try it out! Thanks Jeff!

At first I thought this is BS, but once I tried and focused on pulling the chest backwards and then stretching the delt, I felt it
Dude you have some sort of super power , your shoulder turned red , bright red. I'm calling the cops.

This is 👌🏼. Never felt my rear delts this sore
