Today I'm standing here, obviously, with Jesse, and what we're doing is, we're talking about

his shoulders because I think there's a lot to learn from what Jesse's been able to do

Now, he's been training all along, and you guys have watched his progress, but notably,

The arms have definitely gotten bigger, but so have his shoulders and I wanted to dip

into his brain – as scary as that is – to go in there and say "Jesse, what things have

you really incorporated from the things we've been working on, that have helped you to get

I know the people out there watching are going to be able to benefit them as well.

Let's cover the top six things that you feel have helped you the most.

Right off the bat, what's the first thing?

JESSE: First thing that comes to mind is – like you always say "It's hard to get a stretch

on your delts when you're working out, when you're working your shoulders".

Incorporating different exercises that allow me to get that stretch, I think, have been

JEFF: It is difficult to get a stretch on the delts because when you think about arms

lined up in a side lateral raise they usually stop at the side of your body.

They don't get that extra stretch on the delt, but doing it the way Jesse is doing

Likewise, when you do a dumbbell side raise you don't have to use cables, you can use

Just propping them up on an incline bench in this position allows for that arm to come

across the body, and to get that additional stretch, and it doesn't have to just apply

The key is allowing the arm to go back, behind the body to free stretch that front delt,

which allows for more powerful contraction.

But really, it allows for that eccentric overload on a muscle that doesn't usually get it.

So that was right off the bat, but what else did you learn?

Ever since the first hard gainer video that we did with my shoulders, you told me to-

You told me to start using lighter weights and as humbling as that was for me, I was

down to 5lbs on all my lateral raises, and one and a half rep technique, and also you

telling me to slide my arms underneath the fence.

JESSE: Those two techniques themselves have been extremely helpful, using the light weights.

JEFF: So the concept, again, is that it's not necessarily about the weights that you're

lifting, it's what the muscles you're trying to train are lifting.

In the case of the deltoids I can promise you, they're a hell of a lot weaker than you

So when you drop those weights down, however humbling it may be, the results are better

and you can even see – Jesse has told me how he feels.

Those shoulders have rounded out a lot more, and it's definitely noticeable.

Sometimes the light weights are the way to go, especially if you've got to rebuild from

We're onto number three to digging into that brain of yours.

JESSE: You actually just covered it in a video the other day.

JESSE: The unconventional dumbbell stuff.

JEFF: The different exercises for your delts.

JEFF: Because it's not just about presses and raises.

JESSE: But when you come up with some really weird shit it always seems to work.

JEFF: So both the hip huggers, guys, if you haven't seen the video make sure you watch

There really are – they're not just unconventional exercises.

They have a purpose and when you put the science back in what we do – as we always try to

here – you see the reasoning of why I chose those as exercises.

But when it comes to the hip huggers especially, it's basically going to give you an opportunity

to train a little heavier, to still train the side delt, in a different way, and get

a great contraction, and also tie it in with the rear delt.

But beyond that as well, when we look at the crush grip press out this, again, allows us

to attack the front delt, preferentially turn the chest, and take the chest out of it a

little bit – as you can see here with Jesse.

We're really getting these front delts to be overloaded and it's not just to be different.

It's to mix it up, and get away from that mentality of thinking that you only have the

presses and raises for options, when you open up the options more, and you start to do more

As crazy as they may be, it actually starts to work, and work well.

JESSE: As boring as it is, all the extra rotator cuff work I've been doing.

In other programs I've done, and other trainers I've talked to no one's ever had me doing

JESSE: It's been extremely helpful because not only do I feel like my posture has improved

a ton, but I feel like I'm getting stronger when I go back to my other lifts.
