I wound up doing two ELECT sets of 5×3 of this exercise yesterday because I just couldn't feel anything with it. Thoughts? Today my shoulders do feel like I worked them out. Thoughts. Has anyone replaced this exercise? Does it have some magic to it that I'm not aware of. Thanks.
Did you go almost to failure with the last working set? You pretty much work up to a weight it is almost difficult to do on the last rep.
Oh yes if you pretty much concentrate on using your upper shoulders/back not a kipp or arms to pull up the weight you'll feel it.
Thanks. Tex u never get any sleep do you. You're all over this board.
I get exactly 7-8 hours every night 8) I like to help people, that S.H.I.T mindset. In and out of these forums 😉
This movement takes some practice. We really aren't interested in the traps with this move. Here is how I get a good contraction in my delta:1. The whole time the dumbbell should be outside your body. 2. Keep your head up, don't look down. If you do, you will bring too much traps into the movement.3. Stop when the dumbbell reaches the nipple line, when your upper arm is parallel to the floor.
how do you do this exercise. i cant find a video anywhere. thank you.

I never recommend this exercise because 99.9% of the time i see it done people are not doing it right or they just aren't stimulating there back. Personally if your getting shoulder soreness, i would do a row with a neutral wide-grip or barbell rowing towards the groin area. If you can focus on contracting statically for 2 seconds and lowering the weight slowly you will see results, i gauran-damn-tee it.

Interesting. I'll have to look these movements up to do correctly and try them out. I try to get my Shoulders really contracted and working with this movement. Could always use something just as efficient.

back is an interesting muscle man. static portion of the lift is where it's at! 🙂

The 1/2 upright row is a move for delts, not backs.
