A friend came to me the other day with the following question:
“Victor, I need your expertise with growing my shoulders. Yours have grown so much but mine are still small, what should I do?”
On first sight this looks like a normal question.
But after I did some digging I discovered that my friend was in fact training his shoulders, but he was doing some weird exercises that he saw on YouTube somewhere.
Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that…
But when I asked him:
“Are you doing any shoulder presses or lateral raises?”
The answer was:
“No, I’m not.”
🤦♂️
And this is exactly the problem with all of you beginner (and even intermediate) lifters.
You’re trying to do exercises that are designed for people who have been lifting 10+ years, are professional bodybuilders, and are trying to squeeze the last bit of gains out of their muscles.
These exercises are NOT for YOU.
You have a f*ck tonne of gains left with the normal ‘boring’ basic exercises like shoulder presses and lateral raises.
So start with that.
And if you still aren’t making progress, the answer for 99% of you is not a different exercises, it’s the same exercise, but more of it.
Add an extra set, add an extra training day.
Just do more.
And that’s exactly what I’m going to be teaching in my book. The basics, the fundamentals. The boring stuff nobody wants to do for some reason. The 20% that get’s 80 % of the results.
(More than enough to hit your goals as a non-competitive bodybuilder)
