The advice about not locking out the arms is the most helpful part of this video. Keeps the tension on the shoulder and allows you to do better, cleaner reps that feel so much better.

been doing it this way now for the last three months. absolute killer advice! really hits the shoulder for TUT

Did 8 hours of shoulder presses to confuse the body. now i cant fit thru any door. Whatever it takes

I've been the type that does the clicking of the dumbbells at the top. I trained shoulders yesterday and I actually do feel some soreness in my left tricep. Wont make that mistake ever again. I even asked myself "why do I always click them at the top if Military/barbell Shoulder press there is no clicking involved & your hands are at the same spot the whole time?" I've been going to the gym for years, thank you for this video

And that's the right way. Because Jay Cutler said so bitches.

He's huge! Can't wait to see him compete again. I still remember those crazy quads when he came in shredded 2003!!

also guys if you have any shoulder problem its better to bring them a litlle bit forward

That guy has a very impressive physique. He should consider competing in Mr. Olympia

his tips are simple, sicientific, and powerful!

finally a actually good instructional video that doesn't promote going down to only 90 degrees

Great advice. About the only thing I miss by training at home is that long dumbbell rack. Dumbbells are very underrated.

As best I can tell you, this is good sound advice from one of the best ever Thank You Jay

3 important tips for free that is not mentioned in this video: 1- Use your hips to get the dumbbells to the starting point if you struggle. 2- Lower that bench for 10-15 degrees to decrease the arc in your back and take the pressure off. 3- Lay your head to the back and don't move it while you are lifting and beware that the dumbbells are not too ahead of your head. (It caused me pull a muscle on my neck since the neck takes the pressure if the dumbbells are too ahead).

Learning alot from these videos

He's right here. Past a certain point during this press, the humerus does not raise any further so any additional movement would just be done by the triceps. That would be a waste of energy if you are focusing on shoulders. Same applies to all pressing movements, I see too many people just trying to lift weight rather than take the muscle group thru its full range of motion and only its full range of motion.

nice delt exercise, I am going to include this in my shoulder routine thanks jay

Thanks Jay, muscle and fitness is the best

I always like the confuse the body jokes 😂

Jay thanks for addressing the clicking together, does my head in at the gym

That’s so interesting. This is completely different from how I’ve been doing shoulder press

Thank you! Simple and easy to understand! :)

Did he say that's the white way to do a shoulder press?

Holy shit I only just noticed how short Jay's right bicep is!

You are demonstrating two mistakes here: 1) your arms are straight out from your sides. This is outside the scapular plain and puts increased stress on the rotator cuff tendons, greatly increasing the chance for a tendon injury. The arms should be 20 to 30 degrees forward, which still fully engages the lateral deltoids. 2) you are leaning back when doing the press. This partially engages the upper pecs in the lift. The seated shoulder press is designed to isolate the lateral deltoids, so the back of the bench should be perpendicular to the floor, placing all of the stress on the deltoid to maximize the effect.

Lots of different advice on this. Some say lock out at top and dont come down too far. I only take advise from the people that look good. Jay's advise is obviously spot on 💪💪

Jay has incredible range of motion with his shoulders some folks may not be able to touch the dumbbells to their shoulders or will need to keep their elbows slightly in front

Very nice vid Jay, please more of these please

This is an epic tip. best ever.

I am really confused i see this that says to set the arms almost out to the side of the shoulder. Then i see other videos that say your arms kneed to be about at a 30 degree bend

have to watch ur videos before going to gym ... good work jay respect

Keep motivating and inspiring. You are great.

thanks Jay

This guy's pretty big he should consider doing a bodybuilding show

This is one of the few smart profis

Thanks Mr Cuttler!!💪

Just one of many things I have learned form Jay over the years. That and basmati rice and orange roughy are awesome I like to do mine with steamed asparagus too. And of course eziekiel bread and steel cut oats for my carbs but I have to say I don't like in and out Burger at all.

Fairly new to lifting weights and I'm glad I caught this video. I've done it in the past and apparently I've been doing it wrong.

Thanks Dude....I've been doing them totally wrong!

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but look at his right bicep. It looks different from his left. Old injury? (I don't know much about Cutler).

I had this personal trainer trying to tell me to lock out.. I tried telling him that I was keeping tension on the muscle, but he said otherwise. Trying to tell me to lighten the weight even tho the form was spot on.

Thanks that's helps allot!!!!

I always lock out at the top because my dumbbell shoulder press is an accessory for my barbell strict press.

Thanks for the tip Champ😊👍

You can press higher but it will affect different muscles. If you aren't a bodybuilder you don't need to do it his way.

I was wondering I saw some where that u should position your arms almost like your doing a arnold press. Also should you square your shoulders when you do a shoulder press

hi jay ,I would Like to ask what time use drop set and superset in the training is the better thank you !!!!

Good job jay

why every1 loves jay

Should I lower the weight if I feel my muscle is straining

So should I go almost all the way down to keep constant tension?

He's good, maybe one day he'll become Mr Olympia

jay cutler is the best

Depends on what you're trying to get, if you want to strengthen your shoulder muscles you want to lockout. There is no "right way" this is advice for bodybuilders who want to get as much tension as they can.

Should the elbows be tucked in a bit more?

Fantastic video series! Keep them coming. Thanks Jay!

God bless this man.

Thankyou

jay is the best

thank you sir

Ya Eating 65 for lunch brother thanks for the tips.

2:46 “ and thats the white way to do a shoulder press “ hahaha. Jays a beast

if i went all the way down my elbows would be at my hips. fuck that, im training my shoulders not destroying them

Cool thanks

Cutler get shredded ebook. Excellent buy

He says contraction of the shoulders but I think he means stretch as the contraction happens at the top

I'm legally changing my name to Paulie cutler priest !

Thanks! ✔

I was doing them wrong..... Thanks Jay!

Do I squeeze my shoulder blades together doing this?

Imagine the horror everyone feels when they see Jay putting his elbows almost in line with the shoulders. Where as nowadays online most people advise against that. Ain't nobody gonna argue with Jay here though xD

Do you need to keep elbows flared at 45?

Have you done them against the wall

who can argue would Jay Cutler? standing would be better and involving triceps would be more beneficial. the body was not to be used by isolation and carry over to functionality would be better with fewer iso moves.

He has a good physique and all, but has he considered improving his quads? Maybe 4x8 stomps?

So muscle and strength you have one vid saying don't go all the way down to nearly touch you're shoulders, and in this vid you have Jay saying go all the way down, so wich one is it because the other vid says if you go all the way down you injure you're shoulder, a bit contradicting don't you think?!

start at 1:10

I always have a tendency to "click at the top" It just seems like the thing to do lol

Is there any advantage compared to barbell presses (except the dumbbells don't hit one in the head)?

I like how he insist to tell that you should focus on the moviment and not in weight.

I heard it's better to use incline way

Do you have to be seated at a 90 degree?

thnx man :)

"Lighten up the weight if you can't preform the full motion of the exercise." **PICKS UP THE 60s**

Contraction is at the top , Jay - the shoulder gets stretched at the bottom of the movement... pretty basic stuff and a little embarrassing

sir i wanted to buy your products in bulk,where can i get it in mumbai( India )

So if you have splits like back, chest+shoulders etc, but when you do back, the next day you're soar in your back as well as you biceps, does that mean that you didn't isolate the back enough and let the bicep involve too much?

Right way for a bodybuilder**

Say Jay, I want to build shoulders but cut back on the traps. Is that possible and if so how?

sir mass gainer protein any problems in body

Thank u jay. I do the same form. But at times whenever. I. Go on 70 lbs. for shoulder dumbbell press. I feel bit of catch in my right rear delt. Next day which stays for atleast 2 to 3 days . I had. Did injured my shoulder few years back but it's better. Now. Is there anyone who could help me

Is it wrong if i hold dumbbells in another direction?I mean,i just change the direction of my wrist (i mean,normally your pinkie is facing to your sides,but my pinkie is facing forward)

quick question, how much angle should be there on the bench, as I make it 90 degree and curve my back a bit, which sometimes dont end up well.

jays my fav. still big as fuck

light weight baby..........!!!

Is it okay to keep arms straight out and wrists forward? I thought it was healthier to slightly rotate your grip forward ...someone knowledgeable please help!

any reason why my back hurts when i do this?

Weight seems heavy 4 him?!

nice

Any single digit weights or dumbbells irritates me in a gym as well
