If you want to learn how to get bigger shoulders fast then you’ve come to the right place. In this video, you will see how to build big shoulders by doing the opposite of what you likely have been doing up to now. It is going to require that you use slightly heavier weights and focus more on the quality of the contractions of the shoulder muscles on every rep rather than only pressing heavy weights and overdeveloping patterns that are already holding back your gains.
The lack of shoulder growth can be blamed on two things, and it isn’t your mom and dad. It is the over reliance on just heavy and light dumbbells for shoulders and not training the rear delt enough.
Let’s start with the rear delts, or the lack of training them to be exact. Extension of the shoulder is actually one of the most overlooked components of a fully trained shoulder muscle. The rear head of the shoulders has the ability to extend the shoulder and can handle fairly heavy weight in the process. The issue however is that you don’t want to just extend the shoulder but also incorporate abduction to hit the middle delt head as well.
The best way to do this is with something called a hip hugger. This starts with dragging the dumbbells up your side as you move your shoulders back behind your body. The elbows then drift away from the sides as you come up to light up the middle delt as well. The key to performing this correctly is making sure that you cannot see your elbows in front of your body if you look to the side. They should be out of view the entire time in order to prevent turning this into a modified upright row.
To make sure you grow bigger shoulders fast you are going to need to increase the weight you are used to a little bit on this shoulder exercise. The rear delts with help of the middle delts can handle slightly heavier loads and should therefore be pushed by using them. You’ll find that you can likely lift more than you can on a lateral raise but less than what you would use on an overhead dumbbell press.
If you get this right, the shoulders and rear delts will be doing all of the lifting. No momentum. What this does is it also keeps the dumbbells very close to the body. While this is not a drag, the closeness of the dumbbells to the body are going to allow you to use slightly heavier weights. Specifically this is going to hit the middle and rear heads of the delts a lot better. When you are struggling to build big shoulders fast, the rear head is often last to grow.
The front delt doesn’t have to go unworked however.
The second thing you can do is hit the front delts immediately following the conclusion of a set of the hip huggers by doing something called the scoop press. Here, the weights you used on the first shoulder exercise will be perfect to crank out a few reps of the overhead press variation. Lock the elbows into a ninety degree position and drive the upward thrust of the arms with the front deltoids alone.
This works as the perfect drop set and compliments the work already done on the middle and rear delt exercise to make sure you leave no head of the delts unworked.
When you learn how to train the rear delts effectively you will likely fall in love with working them. Many people skip them all together in their shoulder workouts for mass because they just can’t seem to get the exercises to work for them. Now that you can feel them, you can start regularly incorporating these into your workout for bigger shoulders.
If you want to build bigger shoulders fast you sometimes have to be willing to take a step backwards to take giant steps forward.
These two exercises are something you can include into your very next shoulder workout that are going to start to deliver big results to your shoulder training and growth.

Moron
The views don’t always update in real time.
Me: waking up
Jeff: not right way to open your eyes, losing your gains
U should always roll your eyes back when waking up so you dont put them in internal rotation
I may have internally rotated my shoulder trying to click so fast.
Jeff sentences you to 10000 face pulls
Jeff Knows….its over
Nobody:
Jeff: “Anatomically I was blessed with freckles”
Why did I read this right as he said it?
@Malcolm NeXt it’s called coincidence
@Vanaja ajith I live in a universe where there are no such things as “coincidences”…keep up
@Malcolm NeXt well ok
@Malcolm NeXt then why did ask, why ,to people living in another “universe”
When the striations are so on point that you don’t need muscle markers.
I recently revealed the genders of my two girlfriends. It got a lot of hate and now has 30 times more dislikes than likes. I am really sad that people can be so mean. Sorry for using your comment to talk about my problems, dear pz
@AxxL I will not go to your channel, thank you.
Just freckles
Great tips. Thanks
Jeff in bed:
Girl- don’t go too deep
Jeff- full range of motion is necessary!
woman*
hahaha
This is savage lol
Its the facepulls that are the secret
Lmaooooo
No muscle markers, dislocated both my shoulders.
How to get bigger shoulders fast.
Jeff: Face Pulls
@Kriglum07 Indeed, a video where it actually kinda makes sense haha
broken arm? just do face pulls. At your local Walmart for 9.99$
As soon as he said rear delta I was like here’s another face pull video lol
Jeff once did reverse curls with such a perfect form, that he time travelled into the past.
XD
Me: eating food
Jeff: The way you raise your arm is external rotation and you’re killing your gains!
*internal rotation
Jeff’s freckles were ready the moment he was born to point out muscles for him
Came here to read “better luck next time”
Wasn’t disappointed
Her: He Is probably thinking about other women
Jeff: What if doing facepull Is killing my gains?
Uh oh
When jeff plays fetch with his dog, he uses a dumbbell instead of a stick
Then we should be getting tips from his dog actually.
Imagine the dog catching that dumbbell in mid air.
Poor dog
And he throws with both hands to prevent muscle imbalance
It’s crazy how many ideas this guys has rinsed lol hasn’t he posted like 50 videos for each body part???
Yet people don’t bother rewatching his older vids
