Hello guys!
Most requrested video is: Shoulder Workout.
I'm gonna start with a difficult move,
and I'll work backwards to the easiest moves.
Alright, so this will be a backwards video.
So people who are advanced don't have to
watch the whole thing to get to the best parts.
Alright, the first one; the hardest one, for
shoulders,
the best one is: Planche.
But it works the inner shoulder. It's not
as much for size,
it's just strength. Pound per pound.
So if you're looking to build strength, we
don't want
to do isometrics as much, we want to do more
eccentric and concentric exercises.
Where your muscle is actually in movement.
And the best one I can think of is:
The Handstand Pushup.
Planche pushups concentrate more on triceps,
back of your arm. Handstand pushups - more
shoulders.
I will attempt a few.
So we start at the top, lower ourselves down.
And up again.
Repeat.
Alright, handstand.
Then pushup.
Down.
If you're like me, you're not that great with
balance,
you're just gonna do eccentrics.
So that means you're up, and you slowly go
down,
then you sorta get up again, any way you want,
slowly go down...
If you don't have dips bars,
same thing on the floor.
You learn a handstand first.
As I'm saying: advanced to beginner moves.
Then we move on to handstand pushup against
a wall.
In my case, it's a tree. And I recommend a
wall.
So we're doing the same thing.
Easier:
we move on to elevated.
All of this is still the first move,
so this is still the first exercise.
Working backwards.
Elevated pushups.
Here we want to concentrate on wrists and
butt
being in the same line.
So, up and down, as much as possible.
Doesn't have to have perfect alignment.
So you go like this, under.
And you're going straight down.
Your head touches the floor and up.
Like that.
Shoulders, you'll feel it for sure.
And, the easiest variation of this:
is just the floor pushups.
So you go up again.
Butt as high as possible.
Head going between the arms.
Like this.
Down.
Up.
Down.
Up.
Down.
Up.
That is exercise number one.
Exercise number two is: dips.
Now, this is a variation of dips.
Most people do dips like this,
which is straight up and down.
Right?
They say, oh this is perfect form.
Down, up, down, up.
This way we're working more triceps,
A little bit of chest, and very little shoulders.
Shoulders are stabilizers.
If we want to switch it to shoulers as primary
movers,
primary muscle being worked out,
here's the variation:
Now, if you tell someone this is not perfect
form dips,
you're simply wrong.
It's just dips for different muscle groups.
Hey guys, I was thinking about this and I
think
this is the single best.
Alright, this is the best out of the best.
But it needs training to get to it.
It's almost like a planche tuck hold.
So you pick your body up, and you do pushups.
You can really see it on my shoulders,
even from the video, I bet.
And then you work up until you can do it on
the floor.
This is the single best, you'll definitely
feel it in the shoulders!
I guarantee!
So, up like this.
The dip looks like this:
We pick up our butt, and we're going up and
down like this:
Like that.
Or, as you probably saw some other people
do:
(this is the hardest variation).
A little simpler version of the same thing
is:
you don't pick your butt up, but you keep
it stationary.
So it's not moving up and down.
So you're going like this.
Your butt stays in one spot the whole time.
Your legs do too, so do hips.
Your upper body is the only thing moving.
It's easier than the first one I showed.
Last one:
This is an isometrics exercise,
and this is the easiest exercise.
This is the one...
This exercise I trained my shoulders with
when I just began, when I couldn't do anything.
Let's move to the grass a little bit.
I hate taking my shirt off with people around.
This is just to demonstrate the shoulders
working.
So here we're gonna be doing...
*To cameraman* Stand right there, so we kinda
see the sun.
Pushups.
Pushups, regular pushup position:
it works the shoulder as a stabilizer.
For example, if your shoulder was to relax,
you would just fall forward.
Your shoulder stabilizes your muscles from
falling forward.
Therefore, it works it as an isometrics exercise.
So just holding the pushup position in itself,
is already a shoulders exercise.
Now, we want to make it a little harder.
This is probably the only thing I'm not doing
backwards in this video.
We go forward more, butt up, and we hold this
position right here.
I'll show you from the side.
Like this, you'll feel it in the shoulders
definitely.
Now, if you want to increase the difficulty
once more,
we're going forward AND we're doing pushups.
Now, here, don't keep your body straight.
Pick up your butt a little bit.
When you pick up your butt a little bit,
it puts more tention on the shoulders rather
than triceps.
So we pick up our butt a little bit,
it's NOT perfectly straight.
And we go down.
Up, down.
Up, down.
Wooh! That's a killer!
I'll show you the front once more.
Watch my shoulders.
Bend forward again.
Up down.
Up... I mean down up *laughs*
Down, up.
You can see it being flexed.
And this one I'm feeling it side ones just
as well as forwards,
so it's this whole front.
So these are the things I've done, personally,
the only things I've done bodyweight to get
my shoulders big.
You guys all know I do bodyweight only.
I sometimes go around to the gym, to play
around with something,
very rarely, once a week. Sometimes once a
month.
I would do maybe a set of squats or something.
Other than that I do pistol squats,
I have a leg workout video.
And the last one, bonus, as always!
The reason muscle ups is my favorite exercise:
simply because it works the whole upper body.
Starting bottom position, it's working your:
Lats, biceps and forearms.
In the switching position you sort of use
your shoulders,
not really... A lot of forearms the whole
time.
Now, when you're in the top position,
here you're using abs to hold your balance,
otherwise you'd just fall because your legs
are relaxing.
So here you're using abs as you push yourself
up.
If you're doing it like this:
it turns out to be just like regular dips.
And as I'm doing it right now you can see
my shoulders being flexed.
So the top part works out your triceps, shoulders,
and chest.
Alright, so...
You can see those things being worked.
That's it.
With bodyweight, proper nutrition;
by proper nutrition I mean you don't have
to count every single calorie,
every single gram you eat of carbs, proteins,
simple carbs, complex carbs, fibers and all
that stuff.
You don't need to worry about that.
Eat when you're hungry.
Eat what your body requires out of natural
foods and you'll be fine, that's what I did.
Okay? So it's possible.
You don't have to be a nutritionist.
But you can be!
These are my top three exercises for shoulders,
plus the bonus on muscle ups.

I know, I need to upload a hand press.
It's upcoming soon.
See you guys later! God bless! Bye bye!
