I want to build bigger shoulders, what do you have for me Well, how are you doing your presses? client shows the presses OK, lets change it up a bit because with that short range of motion, you sitting on an incline bench and your lack of locking out in the top really stops your shoulders from growing imo I was taught not to go that far down because it can stretch the ligaments Sure, but think about this for a second: what if you build more and more strength in the delts in a short range of motion, what do you think will happen when you one day go a little bit deeper for once either by choice or accident? Youll strain the ligaments since they are not used to full range of motion! ok, I see. Client does a few sets I think are warmup sets and then gets ready to move on Hey, what are you doing there.... we are not done! You have several sets to go! But I just did them! No you didnt, that was WARM UP sets. You cannot do ONE set only with the work weight dumbbells! Well, duh, sure I can: dorian yates used to do one set only Listen.... Are your dumbbells the size of the dumbbells one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time used to press? Not really huh? Not even 25%? K, but I dont think its good to do 3 reps with a pair of heavy dumbbells, I mean I dont care for strength Oh, you dont care for strength? So if you get stronger with heavier loads you dont believe it will benefit you with dumbbells closer to what you can handle? You dont think lifting very heavy makes you being capable of lifting more overall? You dont believe in training the very strongest muscle fibers that dont respond to high repping or moderate weight? Well, Ive grown pretty good so far doing that Yes but now you turned to me with the fact you are stuck and cannot grow beyond your so called genetic limitations, right? Yeah true... but what If I just cannot do more? Ive really pushed hard! No, no, no. You have not even tried yet! What you do right now is staying in your comfort zone. You are doing what you think is your limit and thats it. When your body says ok, lets wrap you are supposed to say OH NO old pony were going for the RIDE one more time and then one more!!! You say you want to be the best, you dont think you need to train like one? You think the best became the best by not pushing beyond their limits? Ok, but I dont want to get injured, I want to be safe Thats great, really. But being better than anyone else takes more than playing it safe. It means walking a fine line between doing and overdoing. You need to walk that line pretty much all the time! You dont get to become the best by playing safe, it comes from doing more and doing it better than anyone else I am just worried about over training yeah, that is so over used nowadays. Show up three times a week at the gym and more than that, you are over training! Guess it gotta have been the lazy fat asses who made that a slogan, because Ive never heard it from anyone who is on the top of their game. Have you No. Ok, case closed. lets do it. fighterdiet/athlete/fd-delts-2-die-4-volume-1
