Another "Please do a whole series" request. Even at age 45, I've grown more in the past 8 months with your programs than 15 years of training before that. I can't wait to get better/bigger and I know a muscle-by-muscle breakdown would be of tremendous benefit. Cheers!
Question, do you know what the difference between the “backed by science” program and the “full gym 2.0” is? I’ve been gathering money for a little while (the currency conversion to South Africa is astronomical), and I want to buy one of these programs very soon. I just have no way of knowing what the difference is though. Thanks for the help :)
@@ryanbotha7256the backed by science one is more of the results from the EMG. I have both programs, the full gym one is much more low weight, high reps (century sets etc) whereas backed by science is more targeted on specific muscle groups and lower rep ranges (but higher weight). Both different, but in my personal opinion I probably prefer the full gym program. And yes, Rands conversion sucks at the moment 😭
And the backed by science program, is it good? Something I can use in the gym? I’m moderately skinny, beginning to build now. 6ft, 79kg. Would you recommend it?
@@ryanbotha7256 yes definitely, would recommend both. Both programs use standard gym equipment (might be some machines yours doesn't have, e.g. mine doesn't have a hack squat so I use the leg press instead)
My man Ryan, don't know if you read the comments but just wanted to say thank you for this. Always struggle with my shoulders and these tweeks had them firing. Much respect!! Keep the vids coming
I shoulder press 60s. Tried this at 8:00am this morning with 10s. It’s 12:40am and I can’t sleep because my shoulds are so burnt. Cant wait to recover and do it again!!
Accidentally hit thumbs down, corrected that🍻. How many sets did you do and was this at the end of your regular shoulder exercises or…. Thanks for sharing! See you at the bowling alley🤙🏽💪🏽
I am currently doing 3 sets for each head of one exercise, and 3 sets for each head of a different exercise. Except side delts, I do 3 of these then 3 more of these on the next round. Seeing tremendous growth. @@tarynbrent1
Been doing those laterals for years! And yes I do have big shoulders. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with everyone so we can see more large dudes to inspire us all to keep lifting!
I did this and never felt it more in my medial delt than this and already see growth. Absolutely genius. You're almost doing a rear delt fly but upwards. This one's game changing
@@smashmusique I could be wrong but my understanding is that the grip variations were explained in the video as to which muscles are targeted and which muscles are going to show the “desired look” after being targeted. My guess is that Jeff’s video referenced may be from a while ago and, if the information in this video is correct, it will take a while for the fitness community to switch from the age old anecdotal methods. With that said, the best way to find out is to try it for yourself and see what grip may provide the most growth over time. Ryan is just trying to give us shortcuts so we can be efficient and optimal sooner than most that have to work through these things over years.
Love your energy, the humor is palpable. Your scientific approach and delivery is epic. This is your first video i've ever seen and I just liked, commented and subscribed... i never do that ish.
Hey. I never comment on videos but I heard comments really help content creators out, and I'm gonna say, you got me, ya big dummy. You're doing great. Super fun to watch. I'm on my own fitness journey and will definitely be watching more of your videos.
Same concept can be used for front raises, back exercises, hell even quads and hamstrings. Angles matter for every exercise when you are targeting specific growth, strength, or functionality. This is why Ryan has some of the best videos.
Firstly let me say. I’m less than two minutes in. And that is a phenomenal graph overlay with your shoulder! That makes it a lot easier to understand, at least for me. Thank you and God bless!
Im a begginer too, and I do 90% compound, but the side delt is the one you need to target specifilly as it is a bit left behind on the main compund lifts
Awesome. I was actually going through Larry Scott's literature and it seems he came to the same conclusion. If you look at how he recommends to target the lateral delts in his book "Loaded Guns" you will see it matches up with the content in this video. Been implementing it in my shoulder day the last 2 weeks. Feels totally different.
Check out Mike Israetel shoulder stuff as well Ryan and that dude have been super insightful. I’ve put on a more mass on my shoulders in the past six months then I have in like 3 years because I spend atleast one day out of my split that’s all delts. The biggest game changer for me was lowering the weight & really controlling the eccentric part of the movement & pausing at the top of the lift when I’m doing laterals. Also adding a dumbbell specific shoulder press from a seated position we’re I do drop sets from the heaviest weight I can do down to fifty pounds typically. The best exercise for overall growth for me has been dumbbell shoulder press just cause you activate more muscle groups trying to control and stabilize the weight. I know it’s a little harsher on your joints a lot more so then machines but it’s efficient for muscle growth. If dumbbells irritate your shoulders machine press always is a great substitute tho
@@trevorrisley5419 no impingement. It actually feels good. Awesome pump on delts and comfy on the wrists. If you do these play with your grip and stick with what is comfortable
I agree that you should make this a series. I've gotten more useful information from this video than possibly any other in years!! Thank you! Can't wait til shoulder day
Now I am totally confused........I'm 72 years old and started body building again after a 100 year brake. Today there is so much different gym equipment that we didn't have in the 1700's. So have been down loading videos such as yours and worked out a program. As well as making gym equipment. The the only thing is there are so many exercises its taking me hours to get through them...lol...But they all seem so good. I'd love to see your weekly work out program. I have to get some sound sanity here.........appreciate any and all help...I gave myself a like lol
Happy to find bro back in the algorithm, I used to binge his videos back in college and since I’ve started training seriously been on the hunt for his videos. Engaging and informative. Thank you for the content.
I recently watched another video that said to do this grip and when raising your arms and imagine a string is pulling your elbows up, so it puts more emphasis on the back side. I do them seated at the end of a flat bench trying to sit as upright as possible and it had been a game changer for me. I'm going to incorporate the way you demonstrated in this video as well. Great breakdown and explanation!
Finally someone saying it right! When doing it with a sweep, most of the tension goes to your back instead of your frickin biceps. Ryan Humiston explained this in one of his back videos, I can't remember the exact numbers, but the difference in tension on the bicep vs your back is crazy when you do this! Keep it up Ziad
R.I.P schoulder joints!! Doing schoulder raises with shoulders internal rotated will hurt your shoulders over time! It hurts just looking at someone doing this
1 tip - out of the 8 minutes of video theres only a few seconds of video of you doing the exercise, so i have to keep rewinding to learn the movement. Longer clips of doing the exercise would be good, you can even put other audio over the clip so youre not wasting viewers time.
Excellent presentation of overlooked and unknown information paired with hilarious insights and personality. Educational and showmanship! As a trainer I’ve recommended your channel to all trainer friends!
Hey men! I just recently followed you. I watched your EMG shoulder workout. That helped me grow my shoulder in just a couple of months more than what I've been doing in the last 3 years. Thank you for posting awesome and knowledgeable content!
I was definitely skeptical of this with the internal rotation. I did his internally rotated triceps exercise in his hypertrophy program and didn’t like it cuz it hurt my shoulder. This, surprisingly, didn’t hurt my shoulder at all. It felt fine, and I actually really felt it in my middle delts. More than regular lateral raises. I’ll continue to do this as long as it doesn’t hurt, but I’ll probably also do extra external rotation to even it out.
BROOOOO I tried this variation today and holy SHIT what a difference. Before I had to concentrate pretty hard to truly isolate the lateral delt, this is way more natural and gave me the pump I’ve been striving for much more easily. 🔥 thanks for doing what you do 🤘🏼
Officially my favorite channel to watch on TH-cam now. My names Jeff I weigh 155 solid standing at 5'5 and I'm building toward 170, pecs and shoulder are what im really aiming for in serious growth and to watch you bring scientific evidence in to support your opinion was really cool!
Just found you while looking for a good set of shoulder exercises to add to my PPL routine. Would love a series! Going to start doing PPLS. Subscribed!
Incredible stuff! Totally changed my shoulder game. I love the visual overlay you did on the shoulders, helps understand what's going on. Let the milk pouring begin!!
I read a whole lot of DO MORE in the comments. You boys better be buying his workout programs at least. Sorry Ryan, today's world is what's in it for me without the effort. But, for those of us in our 50's. Well, we ain't going quietly into the night. Whining? not on our watch,.. 'Suck it up' and do another set was sort of a outlook on life. It got you through the chores, through the workday, through the suck as it were. Thanks for the new garage workout. Will be purchasing that momentarily. And as long as I have the podium, 50's is not old. It's older, but your wiser. (should be anyway). I will be 56 in December. I train with 22-28 year olds for crying out loud when it comes to trail runs (Training for Spartan beast). Key, is eat pure. avoid alcohol (seriously) and dont think of training like its an enemy. Movement is what living things do to stay living... healthy things? Well they move more. Weight training, is essential to keep muscles toned, posture and mobility as we age. DONT STOP! EVER! Take the 72 hours between workouts to recover. (Depending on the intensity) If I feel run down or depleted, i check hydration, nutrition, and if those are covered I will add another rest day in. The body responds no different than when i was young except for recovery time. This reduces however as the body gets used to the higher demands and I give it time to recover its energy. I like Ryan because well, he gives it straight with just enough edge it reminds me of my 6'-6" mountain man Dad who I knew part of why I did not question farm chores 6am and 6pm like it or not. What i have I did not have then is allot more understanding of nutrition. And I avoid the poison they call food today. This gives me an edge over my previous youthful self. Without the trash to deal with the body can run pure and work to replenish and recover... and now I am rambling like a Dad. (no dad jokes... dont... stop.) Thanks Ryan.
Been a doctor for 10 years, the overwhelming majority of shoulder pain I see is a combination if impingement with supraspinatus tendonopathy and the posterior capsule stretch shown here is a great way to prevent it. Cudos for being the first fitness influence I've seen advocate its use.
yes please do a whole program on this, I've been trying to piece these things together in an organized fashion. Theres really no one else out there that does it the way you do. Keep going bruv, your one hell of a teacher
Perfect timing, just decided to switch out my shoulder exercises, and had this one on the top of my list. And now I can perform it optimally. Looking forward to trying it out.
I've never had my shoulders hit as hard as this workout. Thank you for this, I'll absolutely include this variation in my routine for shoulders alongside overhead press.
Yeah brother. Do a whole series of these. I’ve avoided lateral raises for a long time because I couldn’t find a technique that made sense anatomically. I like the idea of having people send videos of how they do the move. Good for comparison.
You make arguably the best fitness content on the internet. Science and comedy what more could you ask for? I'll be changing my shoulder workouts based on this one!
Awesome work Ryan!! I'll give these a good today. Probably doesn't help but I find dropping my head & leaving it dropped during laterals on an incline bench keeps my upper traps from jumping in as well.
Plus controlling the eccentric going slow on the way down helps a ton lol. Biggest game changer for me was slowing down the amount of time it takes for me to do a set & pausing at the top of the lift. Just doing those two things made the world of difference for me. Doing them slow like that gives a crazy pump too with all that time under tension
No bull crap. I stopped watching you channel about four years ago. Family and just being lazy. So your channel was lost in the abyss of the algorithm. I am not doing to good right now in life and i started working out again about two months ago & searching workout videos. All of a sudden found your channel again 💪🏾. I wanted to say thank you 🙏🏾 Your little short videos for this old Army vet has been a great motivation & i wish you and yours the best. Thank you for the content. I’m back in shape now 😂 💪🏾 Now i’m sculpting stuff up.
John Meadows aka MountainDog promoted the use of heavy weight with heavy reps (25-30) but only going for partials. I’ve actually been using this method and have seen great results along with other forms in supersets. I’m gonna have to use this form with the partials to see how it’ll play out later. Love your content asshole, thanks. 💪
DO NOT DO THAT. 100% injury. Thumb should always be higher than the pinky to allow natural shoulder rotation, he mentioned it and even said it will tear your rotator cuff muscles, but quickly changed the subject.
Also mentioned moving your hands to the 30 degree to 45 degree angle in order to avoid said injury. Most of this stuff is designed for more intermediate to advanced lifters anyway so doubt it applies to you so much
@@SeanXtopherth-cam.com/video/q5sNYB1Q6aM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OOSegqSvLCZ-vmqr here's an example I found from 8 years ago of the method shown causing shoulder issues. It's just not worth the risk
You are one of the best on TH-cam man. Thanks so much for your content. Both friggen hilarious and very informative. Off to the gym now to hit the shoulders
Been doing your programs for a while now and whenever a side delt exercises comes up I’ve curiously been hitting them just like you recall on this video. That’s the moment when I saw lateral development like never before on my 15 years of training. (Started with 5’s and now after few months trying this I do them with 35 pounds on each arm)
Hey man. I see you’ve probably bought Ryan’s trainings before. Do you perhaps know the difference between them? I’ve been saving for a little while to be able to buy one, but I don’t know the difference between any of them? If you could please help me out with any info, I’d really appreciate it :) The currency conversion to South African rand is quite crazy so I don’t really want to spend money on something that won’t have as much benefit as something else might. Thank you for the time :)
@@ryanbotha7256 hi, both 30 day gym programs are good but my personal favorite is his latest Backed By Science program as it’s a 4 day split program with moderate volume. Results won’t depend that much on workouts but proper form, rest and nutrition. But it all depends on your preference. 30 day workouts are crazy volume programs (do hundreds of reps) vs the one mentioned before. It all depends on how much time for training you got. Cheers bro
How does working in the scapular plane prevent impingement? Just curious, does it move the shoulder joint in a way that it doesn't rub against your tendons? Also I'd love a series like that!
I have been doing this kind of lateral raises for 8 months now, and I don't have impingement. I would have to show you how impingement happens, but the main tip is to keep elbows away from your body, by angling forward, have a wider grip, but even if you do have internal rotation while lifting, keep elbows above the rest of your arm .
the whole shoulder impingement is just a myth. but I don't believe doing lateral raises with pinkies up is a good idea. It feels much easier and better to keep thumbs up the higher you go.
Just wow, man. Great visuals, great science, great delivery. Workable usable in under 10 minutes. And knocking around alas poor Yorik just adds to the fun!
Did any of you watch the video..he specifically addressed this, and Athlean X acknowledges the cue employs the target muscle more (though he doesn't IR himself, likely for idiotproofing). Both the most anatomically rigorous creators on the internet. I think you'll be fine. Like he said, just move in the scapular plane, an important cue for all exercises involving the shoulder.
Whole series please, your recent videos are phenomenal quality content. Can't think of many other fitness influences that combine research, results focused experience (in terms of pure hypertrophy at least,) and a concise delivery of their conclusions in this kind of manner.
Sure it targets the lateral head more, but internally rotating your shoulder when elbows are at or higher than shoulder height is going to result in severe shoulder pain. Go watch Jeff Cavalier (Athlean X) for proper form y’all, not this guys. DO NOT pour out water when lifting.
DO A WHOLE SERIES LIKES THIS!!! I loved the EMG series and this sounds like a great compliment to it

Been a doctor for 10 years, the overwhelming majority of shoulder pain I see is a combination if impingement with supraspinatus tendonopathy and the posterior capsule stretch shown here is a great way to prevent it. Cudos for being the first fitness influence I've seen advocate its use.
yes please do a whole program on this, I've been trying to piece these things together in an organized fashion. Theres really no one else out there that does it the way you do. Keep going bruv, your one hell of a teacher
I’ve always loved your videos, but I love seeing you deep dive into the science even more. I really appreciate all the hard work, bud. Thanks so much
Perfect timing, just decided to switch out my shoulder exercises, and had this one on the top of my list. And now I can perform it optimally. Looking forward to trying it out.
best gym youtuber by far
Yes please deep dive each bodypart!
Knowing HOW the muscle functions gives reason to WHY it must be trained in a certain manner.
🎉❤😮
Do more vids like these, please!
Just wish I'd seen this before i hit my delts earlier today, but next time, I'll implement this for sure!
There is always something new to learn which is good because it keeps life from getting boring.
BEEN TRAINING 20 YEARS, THE SINGLE BEST LATERAL RAISE EXERCISE EVER!! 🙏
Definitely do a whole series! This was great!
I've never had my shoulders hit as hard as this workout. Thank you for this, I'll absolutely include this variation in my routine for shoulders alongside overhead press.
Yeah brother. Do a whole series of these. I’ve avoided lateral raises for a long time because I couldn’t find a technique that made sense anatomically. I like the idea of having people send videos of how they do the move. Good for comparison.
great thing is that tomorrow is shoulder day! Thanks a bunch!
So are we gonna call this the Humiston Raise, or perhaps "The Hummer" for short? I mean, that can't possibly be taken yet. ;)
You make arguably the best fitness content on the internet. Science and comedy what more could you ask for? I'll be changing my shoulder workouts based on this one!
Yes. Very helpful. New to natural bodybuilding and love these videos. Very informative! Thanks
You’re the man Ry, could watch these all day 👊🏻
Been teaching this forever. Thanks for the science. I appreciate your work
Awesome work Ryan!! I'll give these a good today. Probably doesn't help but I find dropping my head & leaving it dropped during laterals on an incline bench keeps my upper traps from jumping in as well.
Plus controlling the eccentric going slow on the way down helps a ton lol. Biggest game changer for me was slowing down the amount of time it takes for me to do a set & pausing at the top of the lift. Just doing those two things made the world of difference for me. Doing them slow like that gives a crazy pump too with all that time under tension
Lets do this whole series!
No bull crap. I stopped watching you channel about four years ago. Family and just being lazy. So your channel was lost in the abyss of the algorithm. I am not doing to good right now in life and i started working out again about two months ago & searching workout videos. All of a sudden found your channel again 💪🏾. I wanted to say thank you 🙏🏾 Your little short videos for this old Army vet has been a great motivation & i wish you and yours the best. Thank you for the content. I’m back in shape now 😂 💪🏾 Now i’m sculpting stuff up.
Yes! Do a series please, these videos are great! 💪🏼
John Meadows aka MountainDog promoted the use of heavy weight with heavy reps (25-30) but only going for partials. I’ve actually been using this method and have seen great results along with other forms in supersets. I’m gonna have to use this form with the partials to see how it’ll play out later.
Love your content asshole, thanks. 💪
Same
The ol' Rear Delt Swing Destroyer set.. I miss John...
DO NOT DO THAT. 100% injury. Thumb should always be higher than the pinky to allow natural shoulder rotation, he mentioned it and even said it will tear your rotator cuff muscles, but quickly changed the subject.
Also mentioned moving your hands to the 30 degree to 45 degree angle in order to avoid said injury. Most of this stuff is designed for more intermediate to advanced lifters anyway so doubt it applies to you so much
@@Got_Your_Six thank you for your comment, and valid untrue doubts. shoulders movements and rotations do not change when you are beginner vs a pro..
@@nandz9901 no, indeed they do not but the surrounding and supporting muscles make this safer
Only issue with thumbs down Lateral raises is that you're opening yourself up to a shoulder impingement or damage to the rotator cuff.
That is why you have the 45 degree angle. Watch the video, he explains all of that.
@@SeanXtopherth-cam.com/video/q5sNYB1Q6aM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OOSegqSvLCZ-vmqr here's an example I found from 8 years ago of the method shown causing shoulder issues. It's just not worth the risk
Do a series. Awesome video.
You are one of the best on TH-cam man. Thanks so much for your content. Both friggen hilarious and very informative. Off to the gym now to hit the shoulders
Been doing your programs for a while now and whenever a side delt exercises comes up I’ve curiously been hitting them just like you recall on this video. That’s the moment when I saw lateral development like never before on my 15 years of training. (Started with 5’s and now after few months trying this I do them with 35 pounds on each arm)
Hey man. I see you’ve probably bought Ryan’s trainings before.
Do you perhaps know the difference between them? I’ve been saving for a little while to be able to buy one, but I don’t know the difference between any of them? If you could please help me out with any info, I’d really appreciate it :)
The currency conversion to South African rand is quite crazy so I don’t really want to spend money on something that won’t have as much benefit as something else might.
Thank you for the time :)
@@ryanbotha7256 hi, both 30 day gym programs are good but my personal favorite is his latest Backed By Science program as it’s a 4 day split program with moderate volume. Results won’t depend that much on workouts but proper form, rest and nutrition. But it all depends on your preference. 30 day workouts are crazy volume programs (do hundreds of reps) vs the one mentioned before. It all depends on how much time for training you got. Cheers bro
i love this guy’s energy! 10/10 enjoyed every moment of the video 😂
How does working in the scapular plane prevent impingement? Just curious, does it move the shoulder joint in a way that it doesn't rub against your tendons? Also I'd love a series like that!
In the scapular plane, the room of shoulder joint is the most spacious.
He didn't delve on this too much, but I remain skeptical. No impingement on the shoulder while on the scapular plane doesn't seem right.
Impingment is just overexaggerated bro science bs
I have been doing this kind of lateral raises for 8 months now, and I don't have impingement. I would have to show you how impingement happens, but the main tip is to keep elbows away from your body, by angling forward, have a wider grip, but even if you do have internal rotation while lifting, keep elbows above the rest of your arm .
the whole shoulder impingement is just a myth. but I don't believe doing lateral raises with pinkies up is a good idea. It feels much easier and better to keep thumbs up the higher you go.
The video I was looking for years! Excellent!
Just wow, man. Great visuals, great science, great delivery. Workable usable in under 10 minutes. And knocking around alas poor Yorik just adds to the fun!
It looks extremely painful and awkward but definitely gonna do this today for my shoulders.
How did it go
How did it go??
@@chewe9102 he snapped his tendons
This definitely works. Do this slow with a 10 pound dumbell and you'll feel the side delts more than doing regular lateral raises with like 40s.
You will feel it but will such a low weight make you grow?
@@Adam-nx5tkyes, not all exercises are supposed to be heavy. Get your mind muscle connection, that is the most important for growth.
I’m terrified to do lateral raises with internal rotation. I feel like it goes against everything I’ve ever been told.
Same here, is this gonna fuk up our rotator cuffs?
@@ThingsTo2Knowprobably
Did any of you watch the video..he specifically addressed this, and Athlean X acknowledges the cue employs the target muscle more (though he doesn't IR himself, likely for idiotproofing). Both the most anatomically rigorous creators on the internet. I think you'll be fine. Like he said, just move in the scapular plane, an important cue for all exercises involving the shoulder.
@@erenjaegerbomb8653 I think A-X says that you should AVOID any movement that s including internal rotation
small weights, go progressively
This is incredible. Thank you for sharing this!
Whole series please, your recent videos are phenomenal quality content. Can't think of many other fitness influences that combine research, results focused experience (in terms of pure hypertrophy at least,) and a concise delivery of their conclusions in this kind of manner.
Just the video i need. Been lifting for 4 years and my back and biceps overpower my shoulders. Gonna try these tomorrow.
how it go
I’m 53 years old and I have been in the fitness industry for 30 years. The content of this video is exemplary Ryan.
Same man. 20+ years here. Good comment. Good video.
Wow! This is my new favorite movement! I just got back from destroying my shoulders. Thank you, Ryan. Stay wide, Gents...
Do his version of Lateral rise and your shoulders will be fucked again
@@Kem3swhat do you recommend then?
You are a really good teacher.
This is a great video! Hand position is key to target delts. Thanks Ryan!
Sure it targets the lateral head more, but internally rotating your shoulder when elbows are at or higher than shoulder height is going to result in severe shoulder pain. Go watch Jeff Cavalier (Athlean X) for proper form y’all, not this guys. DO NOT pour out water when lifting.

Bro, just give us the exercise
😂😂😂😂😂 word
Doing the exercise without knowing WHY is no way to do it right.
That's why!
Lol
4:45
He's giving you just that all through the video. LMFAO
Somewhere Jeff is turning purple
You rock bro- I’m down for the series!
Great video! I would enjoy a series
in short 90 percent of shoulders are messed up
Trennything is possible
Ryan! Keep them coming!
Good video, Ryan. Appreciate the self deprecating humor, too✌️💪
Absolutely love the information.
