“Chest to wall HSPUs more properly mimics the way your body will move in a freestanding handstand pushup. When doing it back-to-wall, you're encouraging high back arch and also allowing for wide elbows - something you cannot do in a freestanding HSPU if you want to maintain balance”. - Unknown

Gironda Dumbbell Swings - 5x8 @ 15lbs then, 2x8 @ 10lbs


How to do Gironda Dumbbell Swing:

  • Step 1: Take a dumbbell in each hand and hold them at your waist.
  • Step 2: Keep your left arm straight and lift it out lateral on your side to about shoulder height.
  • Step 3: At the same time lift your right up at a 90 degree angle in front of your face.
  • Step 4: Bring both arms back down and this time switch so that your right arm is going out laterally and your left arm is going in front of your face.
  • Step 5: Alternate back and forth for the desired amount of repetitions. Each time you bring your arms up is one repetition.

“This is a rather weird-looking exercise, but it's a very effective way to build the whole deltoid with an emphasis on the lateral portion. Basically, the movement is like performing a one-arm lateral raise while the other arm is brought up with the elbow bent at a 90 degree angle. The bent arm doesn't do much work because of the advantageous lever, but it allows you to keep some tension on the shoulder muscle during the whole exercise. Constant tension equals more growth”! - T National

Tip: Use a Wide Grip on Upright Rows. A wider grip has been shown in studies to increase deltoid and trapezius activity, and correspondingly, less biceps brachii activity. In addition to maximizing recruitment of the muscle we're trying to develop. - T Nation

The 6 Way Delt Raise - 3x6 @ 15lbs

This exercise makes for a great finisher after a shoulder workout. It'll hit all three heads of the delts. The key here is continuous tension, one of the key mechanisms for muscle growth.

This exercise makes for a great finisher after a shoulder workout. It'll hit all three heads of the delts. The key here is continuous tension, one of the key mechanisms for muscle growth.

You won't need much weight for this one. We're going for time under tension and burn.

Perform a lateral raise, followed by bringing the dumbbells together in front, then a front raise from that mid-body position. Now reverse the movements. That's one rep. If you do it right, you'll never lose tension on the muscles.
