You can get the same time under tension, build strength in a wider plane of movement, and cause the summation of metabolites that signal muscle growth (the burn) way easier and more enjoyably by doing Smith Machine Shrugs, cable reverse curls, forearm curls, etc.

Good advice. However, F = ma. In the external rotations you are alternating the direction of acceleration to both stop the dumbbell from continuing its motion and to move it in the opposite direction. The additional mass of the dumbbell gives it inertia, which requires more force from your shoulders. Using a cable instead applies a constant force against your motion, but only in the outward direction. It’s a trade off: dumbbell rotations will work your shoulders in both direction but will apply most of the workload at the extremities of the motion, while cable rotations will apply a constant resistance but only in one direction, which may require additional reps to work the other direction.

The #1 underrated exercise is weighted back extension, especially going really heavy.

I used to follow the 'no front delt work needed' thing, but honestly once I sprinkled in more front delt work they're getting bigger. So that's all the evidence I need.

@@jokerpilled2535 15+ years, probably nearing 20 years by now. He's been working out since he has a teenager, and he is in his early 30s if I'm not mistaken. At this point he's probably already at his genetic ceiling, so the only way to make noticeable gains is by bulking up, which is obviously mostly fat.

DB external rotations are great, just gotta do them bent over like barbells rows. I start every single workout with 1 set of bent over DB external rotations just using the 5 lbs. It's really not a movement where you want a ton of tension anyway in my opinion so go light. It's just about getting them rotators warmed up and awakening the upper body. You don't want to tire them out.

I will always do isolation work for all 3 delts. Don’t care that I work them during pressing.

Thank you for these tips

Jeff you are awesome and I have been watching your videos forever. I just want to show some appreciation. We all benefit from your videos so keep it up.

Gripping the bar softer does not increase bicep engagement in a curl. If anything gripping the bar increases bicep engagement as their will be more stability. If you just don’t want to fatigue your forearms then that’s fine ig

softer grip or with straps is better to take tension off of forearms, but the bicep won’t actually change unless if your ROM changes or weight

BUT WHAT ABOUT LONG LENGTH PARTIALS? YOU DIDN'T MENTION LONG LENGTH PARTIALS.

I overemphasized hammer curls when I was younger and it built a foundation that seems to always take over. When I added waiter curls, it allowed me to recruit parts of my biceps that I haven’t felt for years and drastically changed the shape. That being said, I sacrificed weight and put emphasis on reps or extended tension over time. It’s not that it is a good exercise or a bad exercise. It is a specific exercise. They will not be part of my normal routine. They will be beneficial to everyone. And even if it would benefit someone, that may be counteracted by how they do it. That being said, feel free to experiment, but don’t let the newest trend become your blueprint.

Good suggestions. I might be wrong, but I think the rack pulls are meant as an accessory for those with difficulty locking out the top of a deadlift (and done with heavy/workset weight to mimic the deadlift).

Bro are you on dirty bulk j😂

Wtf

Gotta say this: your genetics are influencing your advice to a general advice. Some-many actually- people do indeed show much more deltoid development with front raises than without, regardless of presses in your routine. Same with your curling advice. Different muscular shape and connections simply require different avenues of stimulation. Maybe not overrated exercises, maybe you just don't need the particular stimulation they provide because you have a fortunate conglomeration of hypertrophically prodigious genes

So many people aren't aware of better and more effective exercises. Your opinion seems to have some personal agenda to it or just a poor comprehension of how Jeff's advice is intended to be taken? If someone is getting some end all development from front raises then they would be a fool for changing their program because of another person's advice anyway.

nice tips, one of my favourite fitness influencers. Can you do a video about resting times?

Dumbbell External Rotation has inertial forces on the shoulder joint.

Looooove me some mid shin rack-pulls. Stand on a couple plates if your safety racks won't go low enough

Jay cutler swears by rack pulls and his back was insane. That initial ground to rack height is engaging a lot of flutes and hamstrings. Rack pulls isolates lower back and is way more safer without the need for the huge effort to break the weight from the ground

Never listen to young "fitness experts", especially those with gym bro bodies.

Thank you so much! This is such a great video!

I do below the knee rack pulls. I have sciatica nerve issues and I also find full ROM deadlifts just uncomfortable, so I settle for rack pulls where the bar is just below the knee. Combine that with heavy AF farmer's carry and stiff legged deadlifts, you will hit the posterior chain just fine 😊

bro forgot what "overrated" means

I've just added shrugs to my program, good back exercise after my deadlifts. Then some dips to round out my day

Yes likewise. I appreciate the intention of the video, but things need to be taken with a grain of salt, not interpreted as unequivocal truth. Check out 3 different trainers and they will fundamentally adhere to training specifics, but go about it in various ways.

When you shake the weights side to side, yes you dont fight gravity, but the side to side motion still taking force to change direction.

pointless

I always do bent-over dumbbell rotations as rotator cuff warm up because cables are often taken

Bro made some voice gainz

Your videos are helping me get shredded

If you hit your biceps doing pulling movements, then why are you doing bicep curls?

I personally don't do them, but I understand rack pulls when the lockout of your DL is your sticking point

Honestly I think above the knee rack pulls are better for trap development than shrugs because of the insane trap stretch and cause less systemic fatigue than deadlifts.

My delts started really growing once I incorporated cable front raises

DB external rotation is a bit more complex then that and normally I dont feel that you neglect the details. I belive it works like the standing ab twister(using a barbell for weight). The work is in the acceleration and deceleration, thus the more load, the higher the moment needed. (But yes for warmup no weights can get you warm just fine)

Inertia will apply resistance on the external rotations

Banded external rotations are goated for anyone with hypermobile shoulders

excellent content style and length 👌🏽
