  • What's up guys? Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.COM.

  • Today I'm going to show you a perfectFfinisher for a Shoulder Workout to help take you

  • not just to the end of your workout but through the end your workout.

  • To that point where we create muscle overload. And that's the most important thing if you're

  • looking to add size.

  • Now you don't have to be a Seismologist to understand this technique because we call

  • this the tremors technique,

  • and you don't have to have a real background in earthquakes to figure that out,

  • but it actually works very similar to an earthquake and how it affects your muscles.

  • We know that with an earthquake there's an epicenter and that's where all the action's

  • occurring,

  • that's where the brunt of the earthquake is and then people will still feel tremors around

  • the area of the earthquake usually a long distance away.

  • Well we can do the same thing here by actually creating sort of the epicenter in the weakest

  • area of our Shoulders.

  • In this case it's going to be most likely for you your rear Delt, your Posterior Deltoids.

  • So we'll take the weight that we'd normally fail in, in a 10 to 12 rep range for a Bentover

  • Lateral Raise, ok.

  • That is the guiding weight that we'll use for the rest of this set, this tremor set.

  • And from there you move then up to a Side Lateral Raise.

  • Well we know that a properly executed Side Lateral Raise will actually have your Arms

  • traveling in a position here,

  • because again I'll actually put the whole video out on this if I have to in the future,

  • but the proper position is actually with our thumbs a little higher than our pinkies, not

  • the opposite way around,

  • which will actually get a little bit of external rotation in at the Shoulder and still keep

  • some work going in those Posterior Deltoids.

  • So you're going to still feel a little bit of that tremor in the back even though you've

  • traveled a little bit forward to the Medial Delt.

  • Then of course once you go to failure there, you're going to now go up into the Front Raise.

  • And now the Front Raise, we've moved the focus now into the Front Deltoid,

  • but we're going to feel a little bit of that tremor carrying through into the side Delt

  • and of course all the way back to the rear Delt

  • because we haven't rested between any of these legs of this journey.

  • And then finally we go the the all so simple, Overhead Press,

  • except at this point, fourth in line in our exercises, it becomes pretty damn hard.

  • And yes, guess what, when you do these you'll start to feel some of those tremors still

  • going on in the back side,

  • all the way back on the other side of your Shoulder because of this cumulative fatigue.

  • So I'll actually demonstrate it for you, exactly what this looks like in action.

  • We're going to take our Dumbbells again, I'm going to use the ones that would allow me

  • to fail in the 10 to 12 rep range on a Rear Delt Fly.

  • Ok, so I'll position here so you can see what's going on.

  • I'm just going to come up and back.

  • I'm trying to make almost a 'W' here with my arms so that this positioning here alright,

  • so that I get a little bit of that external rotation at the top as well.

  • Let me go lay up now for the sides. Alright from here and up.

  • I can feel it in the back too.

  • 10, 11, 12.

  • And now up to the front, catch your breath.

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, god 9, 10, 11, one more 12.

  • And now, got to finish them off with that really light 20 pound Overhead Shoulder Dumbbell

  • Press,

  • but it's already killing me to get them in this position right here.

  • And press up and I can already start to feel that way back in the back of my shoulders

  • as well.

  • 6,7,8,9 ohhhh.

  • And guess what, you rest about 30 seconds, those were 20's.

  • I come back down here, I've got my 15's and then I repeat it all over again.

  • And this is your finisher guys.

  • You go until the last set.

  • I've even performed some, where I take my hands and I go through the motion with just

  • as hard a squeeze as I can possibly get,

  • through here and the Rear Delt, up here again for the Sides, really trying to squeeze as

  • hard as I possibly could right at the top.

  • And then come up to the front here and try to squeeze as hard as I possibly can.

  • And then go back up to the Press one more time and squeeze as hard as I possibly can.

  • And I can tell you, right after a hard shoulder workout, it doesn't get any better than that.

  • That is a great way to finish off a high intensity Shoulder Workout capable of taking you to

  • that next level, capable of producing growth for you.

  • Guys, if you're looking for a way to train intensely in a much shorter period of time,

  • you've got to start being willing to trade in some of that workout length for intensity.

  • You can't just keep coasting through your workouts, thinking that doing the same thing

  • over and over again is going to give you better results.

  • Unfortunately it's going to give you the same results that you've been getting.

  • If you want that jolt and you're looking for me to coach you through every step of the

  • way, I'll do that.

  • Head to ATHLEANX.COM, get our ATHLEANX Training System,

  • and I will walk you through every workout, every technique I've got in the next 90 days.

  • I hope you guys found this video valuable. If you want more like, let me know.

  • We've got finishers for other areas as well.

  • I'll make sure I can bring them back to you here, right here on this channel.

  • Alright guys, I'll see you back here soon.

What's up guys? Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.COM.
