So as usual Ill chime in on these videos to kind of explain things. On alot of shoulder machines you can turn right around on them and face inward and make the exercise even more productive. You can do this on some lateral machines and a lot of pressing machines. So on the first exercise done, thats a seated lateral machine (facing inward instead of outward)..and you grab the bars with your hands. After progressive warmups its an all out rest pause set for 20-25 reps. The next exercise done after that was for rear delts, and thats done on a 45 degree pulldown machine, with a parallel gripped bar and you MUST pull the bar in high and underneath your chin. At the top you push into the stretch and almost unlock your shoulders a little bit before you make your pull back down. Your rear delts will be bombed if you do it correctly. After progressive warmups, do this for higher reps...20-30 reps straight. You can do it for lower reps and heavier weight but because its such a focused exercise, I just personally feel you could injure yourself if you grind out really heavy low reps with it...so again i would stay with a higher rep scheme if your are pulling it high and under the chin. Because the camera got behind Matt on his set, take a look at how blown up Matt's rear delts are at the end of the set while he is pulling...right around the 15:06 mark.
Dante. Are you still a fan of another rear delt exercise you demonstrated whiles back. It was a bent over row with an ez bar and 25lb plates on each side that you would use as handles. Ty
@@noelnyc8227 yes definitely Noel, I just like to give people variations and choices on different things and they can try it out themselves and see if it fits them
It's shocking that more people aren't onto this. Proper footage of Dante training guys, that's recent too? Bro it's great that you upload this stuff! I hope more people get into DC training because of this. (Doing biceps, forearms, quads, calves and hamstrings tomorrow!)
Seeing these videos makes me sad Dante doesn't like to appear on podcasts. The bodybuilding world needs him and his knowledge more than ever. Our "professional athletes" have gone from slinging heavy iron to doing Bicep exercises on a fuckin Hamstring Curl.
That is so true. But it’s also part of the character, he doesn’t require or need the lights and social media fame. Every driven and hungry for success dude that take the time to search and read long enough will stumble upon him and réalise it’s a gold mine.
Really great vid. Thanks coach. But where the hell am I going to find a lateral raise machine like that? My gym doesn't even have a normal seated one haha 😔
