As I commented in another perfect workout series video, I was waiting for this one since shoulders is one of my favorites to workout. As usual, Jeff delivers and ldoesn't disappoint. In my other comment, I stated that I kind of made my own version of a perfect shoulder workout that works for me, using what I thought were the best of Jeff's shoulder exercises, but I admitted that my version still could use some cutting down as far as volume, but then again, I usually only have time for one shoulder workout a week, so that's why my workout has more exercises in it. This video may change that if I can resist the urge to add more sets and exercises to it which I have the habit of doing, and consequently, I could squeeze out two shoulder workouts a week. I'd probably have to reduce sets to the lower end of the scale and really be efficient with my time with minimal rest between sets to have time for two workouts a week (2 sets vs 3 sets per exercise. Can be done though. The only exercises I wish were included, particularly in workout 2 would be cable laterals (the 45 degree version introduced by Jeff in a past video that targets middle and rear delts in one exercise (the only 2 exercises you need series shoulders edition) and hip huggers, but then again, that might be too much volume for one workout. But hip huggers definitely. I love that exercise and have gotten really good results with that one. Usually, it's a finishing exercise at the end of the workout for me.

I didn’t workout for 4 years due to depression, recently in January I joined the gym and at the same time Jeff started his updated perfect workout series. I was finding a plan for workout, this series provided everything that I was looking for. I have been following this plan for more than 2 months and I see results that I never seen before. I have been following Jeff from more than 10 years like i don’t even remember, I am probably the first few people who followed him in the beginning, this guy gave absolutely everything that someone will charge 1000s of dollars. I would like to genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the best. And I was waiting for this shoulder workout video for a while and now finally it’s out.

Sorry if I missed it. Is the entire calendar of the Perfect Workouts available for download. An ideal layout would be a calendar built out like shown here with all the exercises listed. Then have the ability to clickon say 'Chest' and it takes you a listing of the exercises in that workout, with a link to each of the videos. I looked for that in the training programs on the website, but don't see them. I'm pretty much limited to full setup of Clench Bands and Rep quickchange dumbells, with a bench. I'm 70, and trying to get healthier. So looking for suggestions and any help. Thanks!

I disagree on keeping the thumbs higher than the pinky’s on lateral raises I have issue with my left shoulder and if I keep in mind to not let my left hand soupinate and keep the back of the hand level I don’t have pain in the front of the shoulder where I’m assuming ligaments slide over the joint when moving the the arms in a lateral raises motion. Could that be a correct theory is there something else common going on that you think could be causing that I also don’t point the arms straight to the sides like I used to I bring them in just a bit seems to help also

I wonder if we’ll get perfect abs. I used to compete in a weight class strongman as well as CrossFit. There’s definitely a limit to how fit and strong you can be. I flew to close to sun and I’ve been going to the pt. But my injuries are pretty bad. So I might need some surgeries if they’ll cover it. I loved working. It was my favorite thing to do since I started teaching myself in my room at 12. I hope if I can get what I need I’ll be able to be cleared for this. It’ll be so fun to workout like this again.

Glad to see you updating your old videos as I am sick and tired of seeing all the wannabee fake gurus copying your old videos and posting them as something new that they came up with. I've been following your advice for about 12-13 years and I can state without hesitation that you have provided the same information they are rehashing as some new methods. You should redo your old videos and include a link to the old versions to show who is the boss of fitness influencers.

I was doing a Mentzer style Side Lateral/high pull pre/post exhaust combo lately & had a bloke stop me mid set and recommended i oourhe oinchers & bend my arms. He then preceded to tell me he had shoulder issues. I still have to bite my tongue to this day. And for context, i am a fairly advanced lifter and have never been close to double digit body fat a day in my life

when i do lateral raises that way, i kind of feel it more on my traps. am i doing something wrong however, i find that keeping your arms straighter (not completely straight, also not having my thumb higher than my pinky, just same) and focusing on putting the dumbbell away from my body instead of raising it, hits my side delts more and less on my traps.

those are 2 really good routines for shoulders. I enjoy training shoulders and legs on the same day but I always do shoulders first as they are a lagging body part for me (though def less lagging than they used to be) I need to try those rear delt rows. I always train rear delts on back day supersetted with Shrugs or some other trap exercise.

Hey Athlean X.
Just requesting if you could put each blend of workouts in a guide
The Tri's on Chest Day.
Today's Shoulders on Leg Day, etc.
I still feel naive on how to blend each day together without taking unexpectedly long.

Do muscle size matters during exercise routine planning Like in tricep vs bicep, triceps are bigger so do I have to increase tricep work out frequency (like 3-4 days a week) or can get same muscle gains by 2 days a week routine

Hi, are you able to introduce some PT strengthening exercises for the whole arm w/ a focus on rhomboid muscle and rotator cuff, if possible. I noticed a pinch in the rhomboid area when doing any type of upper body WO. athleanx

My off days and on days are dictated by forces outside an ideal workout plan so I'm pretty stuck having my off days on the same day every week. Would love the luxury of being able to shuffle them around but it is what it is

Another great video, thanks Jeff! The blue rope you use for face-pulls, I've seen it in a lot of videos. Is that something you made or can you drop a link where I could order something like that Thanks!

PIKE PUSHUPS! The only shoulder workout that literally made my from delts pop. Try these and you will not be disappointed. I would also argue these are healthy for your shoulders long term.
