It should allow for more weight in the really effective part of ROM anyway, so theoretically it’s better for sheer delt size. Of course handling the heavier 'bells and setting up with them can become a problem, even in higher rep ranges… And you still have to just try it and see whether you like doing it or not.
(oh, and let’s not forget that Arnold’s shoulders were a weak point of his, particularly when standing relaxed. Sure, in a back-double-bi they looked nice due to his muscle-bellies etc, but really… They were far too small. They were somewhat decent when he was pumped only… So I don’t think his pressing variant did much. Too light. If you want to focus more on the lateral head, a mix between lateral raise and upright row is a better way, or even a good lateral raise machine. I’d rather maximize the overload in whatever part of ROM is the most effective for a certain muscle or part thereof rather than creating a new movement which trains more muscles but to a much lesser degree)
Awesome. My delt development has always lagged behind everything else and as you said about Arnie, aren’t all that great standing relaxed. I’ve just in the last 6 months or so really started to get some development and mind connection going. Thanks for the discussion. Looks like I’ll be dropping that movement and trying some others.
My pleasure.
Do you have a v-squat/power-squat machine at your gym?
Hey, CC. Been out of town for a week. No, I don’t have access to one of those. I plan on switching in the next 4-5 months, though. What were your thoughts?[/quote]
