"Give her what's coming" 😂😂 By far, this guy is my favorite fitness personality on the Tube; legitimately strong, scientifically based, and just genuinely human and funny. GREAT series btw, Dr. Israetel. Your willingness to impart your wisdom is greatly appreciated.

no he is just a great teacher, for many reasons, but largely due to his efficiency in assembling and delivering large amounts of data concisely. < that is the metric of a great teacher and it applies to kindergarten thru university. i am 46yo and am going thru this playlist one muscle group at a time actually taking notes as if i was still in school, that is how valuable and foundational this info is. these short videos efficiently relay decades of first hand knowledge and doctoral level research. after watching a cpl of these once i went back and started over with pen and paper because i thought to myself, 'this man has assembled an incredibly dynamic outline for me so i should write it down and take some foot notes and program around it'. there really is no more thorough basic-advanced guide out there, AND IT IS FREE!!!! PLUS he has it all updated and written out on his hub!!! anyways, the dude is a physical and mental beast
This guy’s hypertrophy guide has been a godsend and really gave me direction on how to program my workouts. Such a effortless way to program using this. Yes the gains and results speak volumes on behalf of this.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:17 📊 *Maintenance volume for rear delts is close to zero sets per week, as they are effectively targeted during pulling movements like pull-ups and rows.* 01:31 📉 *Maintenance volume for side delts is around six sets per week, and they benefit from compound or isolation exercises that focus on bringing the arm up.* 02:25 🏋️♂️ *Maximum recoverable volume (MRV) for side delts is approximately 26 sets per week, emphasizing their resistance to fatigue and ability to handle higher volumes.* 03:36 ⚠️ *Intensity for side and rear delts should be at least 8 reps per set, avoiding weights that are too heavy to maintain proper form and preventing endangering the shoulder joint.* 04:20 🔄 *Higher rep ranges (8 to 20 reps per set) work well for delt training, with side delts often benefiting from the relatively slower twitch muscle nature.* 06:40 🏋️♂️ *Mind-muscle connection is crucial for rear and side delt hypertrophy, emphasizing good technique, avoiding swinging, and ensuring a full range of motion.* 08:45 🔄 *Rear and side delts recover quickly, allowing for a higher training frequency, with the possibility of training them at least twice a week and even up to four times a week.* 09:41 🔄 *Periodization, ranging from 8 to 12 reps, followed by 10 to 16 reps, and metabolite techniques, helps structure training for rear and side delts, ensuring adequate recovery and adaptation.* 11:35 🔄 *Supersets, particularly combining isolation and compound movements, are effective for shoulder training, promoting metabolite accumulation and enhancing muscle growth.* 12:46 🔄 *A triple superset involving bent lateral raises, regular lateral raises, and dumbbell upright rows is suggested for a comprehensive delt workout, with periodic variations to avoid adaptation.* Made with HARPA AI
This guy grew on me, it's funny how I've moved away from the finger pointing bullshit and drama content creators to guys like Dr. Mike, vigorous Steve, and more educational content creators. These guys are all great ambassadors for the sport and keep it real. Great series Mike!
I suppose it depends why you go to the gym. Do you go there to socialize and look for friends? Sure, then watch some gym drama stories, it may go along. Do you go to the gy, for what the gym is good for? Then this is the man for you!
Found your channel by watching your interview with Jeff Nippard. All I can say is wow. Great stuff. Evidence based knowledge. You are a credit to the youtube fitness community. I'm subscribed and super excited to watch your achive of videos. Thanks!
Your chill explanations mixed with your size is great. This is very helpful. I have low back issues so i need to wear a belt for and standing or sitting dumbbell exercises despite my super strong core. Lookin forward to your deadlift vids when that comes around as my back heals.
talha I have been sucking it all my life , I don't mind , I just don't like people who think are entitled , if this is a misunderstanding I am sorry, if you are really a little ungrateful bitch then fuck you
Great video. Quick comment about 8:04 and the "half-rep" lateral raise. Your supraspinatus (a rotator cuff muscle) is responsible for initiating the lateral raise (i.e. shoulder abduction) up to 15 degrees, whereas your delts take it to 90 degrees. Past 90 degrees, your traps and your serratus anterior take over since this movement requires scapular rotation. TL;DR Mike is right but I wanted to explain why he was right. That movement won't do much for your delts.
Thank you for being one of the most educational strength trainers on the internet. Between yourself and AthleneX a trainer, whether they are seasoned or new can improve their skills. Thanks. Respectively. Grand Master Greg Fraser. We need more of you in self defense training.
Super video wih lots ofvital points and information. Those two delt areas are often troublesome for many to get progress with. Should not be neclected but more so trained often and with pretty large volumes, larger than most use. I can do 35+ sets of side lateral raises per week and still recover since I've done them for years, but the intensity techniques do help a lot.
Amazing video... I just discovery that low weight with more volume works very good for delts... Im focusing on time under tension... Trying to not release the weights tension.
"You don't wan't to be fightin' that old lady with the two and a half, and maybe you know.. Then hey. Give her what's comin'." Best line in this video.
I have always struggled with shoulders but ive been using this method for 4weeks now and im very happy with the results. Go light and focus on the contraction and volume, volume VOLUME! I do them 4x a week, 6 sets on side and 6 on rear...16reps. Plenty of drop sets. This is my new favourite channel and this guy talks so much sense. I hope you read this, thanks man. 👍
@@kimjongun2536 thats right...i wasnt sure if he meant the MRV was for each head or combined but 24 a week for each head is working great for me since i realised my shoulders respond like a fast twitch muscle...calves and forearm etc. Dont concern myself with front delts either.
Much better than low volume with heavy weights. Infact shoulders were always my bodypart that struggled the most. Very strict form with high volume and low weight have turned them around. Personally i now think heavy shoulder presses rely on other muscle groups too much...delts are small muscles and for me isolation aswell as the very high volume is the way forward...possibly not for everyone. My biceps, traps and triceps always overpowered my physique but for the first time my shoulders are starting to get alot fuller. Hopefully soon i will have shoulders i always wanted.
My results still continue to impress me although i did give myself some kind of over use injury last month. It makes sense to me why this is working...calves for example take alot to be completley fatigued because they are used so much in day to day stuff, walking and even just standing. So in the gym its like they need more volume to respond. Unlike lats or chest which i find for me personally need lower volume but heavy work to respond, lats arent really used in most daily activities. It was a bit of a realisation for me that delts are used so much day to day, everytime your arm moves your shoulder is working in some way, so just like calves they need high volume. I always thought heavy shoulder presses would add mass but it never worked great for me. I dunno i could be talking complete crap, im not a professional trainer or anything but this makes some sense to me. Either way its clearly working for both of us. I hit the gym really hard a few months ago...too much too soon after a long time off, but yeah im still going to use this method now my body has adjusted to training again.
Donald Pump they actually respond to such high volume because they are typically made up of more slower twitch fibers and are hard to expose to damage via mechanical tension. 24 sets a week per head is pretty high volume. Try starting at the lower end of your MAV say 12-16 sets and work up to 24 or even higher before deloading. Will help avoid those over use issues
Do you wanna be fighting that old lady with the 2.5's? Maybe. Then yo hey give her what's coming! LMAO! Mike your videos are amazing. I sincerely find so much useful information from you. Keep up the good work man!
Very interesting series Mike. Really enjoying the content. Do you base this on any specific scientific research or is a summary of your years of experience in this area?
Performance Fitness I've listened to dozens of his podcast, he says he bases the volume landmarks on current literature, his clients and himself. The same applies to the periodisation and frequencies.
Dr Mike is an evidence based practitioner so, of course, he bases his recommendations on current research. But, the skill is in knowing how to put that evidence together and present it in practical terms like this. Note where he mentions individual differences. That's where Personal experimentation comes into it.
Israetel doesn't follow current research. BOTTON 2013 showed that reverse pec deck with neutral hand position activated the rear delt more than any other exercise they tested. SCHOENFELD 2013 showed that the neutral hand position on the reverse pec deck surprisingly activated the rear delt more than the pronated. FRANKE 2015 showed that reverse pec deck with neutral hand position activated the rear delt more than pronated machine rows and pronated lean back lat pulldown.
But to what degree did the reverse pec dec activate the lateral delts, traps, etc? The beauty of the upright row and facepull are that they are open kinetic chain, compound exercises with multiple variants to choose from.
One routine that blew up my shoulders was doing 40 pound partials for 30 reps, dropping that and doing 17.5-20 pound lateral raises for another 10-15 and then finishing off with 5 pound lateral raises but only in the shortened position
How should I translate this for myo-rep-only workouts? I have a really tight schedule now, so I'm trying to do just maintenance. Would a 6 straight set minimum translate into, say, 2 activation sets followed each by 2 mini-sets? Or 1 activation set with 5 mini-sets? Or 6 activation sets followed by x number of minisets? Thank you!! This is incredibly helpful.
He means each but some of the movements have crossover like if you did 3 sets of upright rows it would count as 3 sets for both since theyre both pretty active but lateral raises would just be side delts not rear
I find lateral raises to be goated, they are humbling and if done properly they can fry your side delts, I just do 3 sets of them at the start of the mesocycle and end up with 5 at the end, delts have been growing like a charm with DBs that can be considered light.
Great video, few questions though, are these numbers for drug free athletes or someone using ped's ? I presume the former ? Also incorporating a lot of shoulder volume into FBW style workouts, any tips how not to go overboard and spend over 1h30min per sesssion. Thanks.
