I like this guy, seems genuine and doesnt have a lot of ego attached

I’ve been coming back to this workout the last 5 years, on and off, big thanks for all your work. I think it’s the dream for every content creator to have reoccurring visitors. You’ve made it! Thanks man

"Not squeezing up, but out" One of the most amazing explanations I've heard out here to make sure your traps don't get engaged(a lot)...James, one word for your teaching skills: Amazing!

Been lifting seriously for 6 months and thought I had a pretty solid mind-muscle connection, but you have taken it to the next level! Your simple suggestions on form, and clear explanation are amazing.

Best channel I've subscribed to in a long time!!!

Dude is a beast. I just recently started watching him... and I gotta say that I really like him. He doesn't seem to incorporate ego into his videos and he's legit as far as I've seen. New favorite workout channel. He's beating Athlean X for me right now since I'm not exactly training to be a Pro Sports Player.

This is the most underrated fitness channel. My new favorite

I watch a lot of different KZfaq bodybuilding channels, but I've never learned so much in one video before! excellent advise. you have a new subscriber! doing this routine today!!

Really sober, targeted, and well thought out training James. Much appreciated. Great channel!

Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I used to train in my 20's and just took up weight training again aged 39. Found your videos to be very insightful and motivating. Keep up the good work !!!!

I miss these videos. We need them now more than ever.

I have been struggling to get my back up for years. The science and the cues in this video are pure enlightenment. Thank you!

Wow, this workout murdered my shoulders lol 20 10 10 15 are the best workouts I’ve ever experienced with the best results; thank you sir.

learnt so much from these videos! worked out for years and these excercises make me ache like never before! been waiting on this shoulder one for ages! well done buddy keep it up 👌💪

Man forget the haters this is an excellent shoulder workout. I've had serious shoulder and chest injuries but this routine has built my shoulders to the point where you could never tell

I'm a woman with Dystonia in my neck that's been affecting my shoulders . 2 months of P.T. wasn't nearly as effective as the last week since I discovered James videos ! I am definitely going to be following The muscle geeks advice and watching this video and applying these techniques . I've been doing everything wrong . Thank you Greg! You have changed the way I fight Dystonia

In a busy gym, you can forget about being able to do supersets with different equipments.

great advice on not using momentum

This guy is excellent. James articulates his message in a succinct manner without useless fluff or egotistical garble. His methods/techniques are easy to follow and his philosophy regarding poundage, mind-muscle connection and form are spot on as far as I'm concerned. I've been a trainer for sixteen years now and am still able to glean some very helpful and insightful knowledge from James' videos. Thanks James.

this guy knows what he is talking about! on point with anatomy and biomechanics of muscle structure and function. he applied science to the art of physical movements. two thumbs up! I will recommend this channel to all my athletes.

Dude thank you so much I've been using heavier weight like most everyone in the gym but now less weight and better form and I'm burning feeling great thanks man. I subscribed and followed you keep the workouts coming brotha. Got anything for legs I have a bad right knee and I'm looking for leg workout that won't leave me in tears from the pain in right knee I have a torn meniscus and sprained ACL that seems to never get better.

Triple H twin brother

Incredibly Informative, "Its A Wise Man Who Knows What He Doesn't Know" I've Been Lifting 35 Years, And I'm Getting So Much From This Channel! My Thanks, Dean...

this guy knows what hes talking about. I trained my ego for ten years now I train my muscle with better technique and alot better results. really appreciate his vids reminds me of ben pudawski training methods. perfect

great video and tips.... to the other posters, you don't need heavy weight to build muscle..

you seem very humble champ and great advice....subscribed!

This guy is top 3 on KZfaq when it comes to explanation and form.

James, I noticed you are the only one who really replies back to your followers, I like that, you are humble. I engage myself to train with your videos and I'll tell you how it goes, I spent already couple of years training with heavy weights, I know I have a lot of strength but not much muscle. I'll put my ego apart and will let you know how it goes in couple of months. Thanks for the time you took creating the videos. Best Regards from Costa Rica

I just subscribed. He made too much sense !

Loved the information about which different exercises worked which different part of the shoulders, keep it up :)

For a 43 year old about to go back to the gym these videos are fantastic. Many thanks for taking the time.

Legend, it rare too see a man who knows and shows what he is talking about.

new favorite channel

no joke, i just got home from doing this like 15 minutes ago, im a big dude with pretty strong shoulders and i was struggling with 1 lb dumbells, very humbling workout indeed james i do have a question though, even though i made sure to stict to as strict of form as possible i feel this mostly in the front anterior portion of my arms, is that just normal for someone not used to doing posterior and lateral exercises just starting out?

100% on point, anterior is always overworked. Best channel ive seen so far. The majority of wk i do is medial and posterior. Impressive dude keep it up!

I would like to add that as a person who's worked out for 6 years these come super in handy, I follow all your workout routines and man do I get sore now, I'll be sore for like 3 days, I know it's working, great stuff (thumbs up)

pssst....that is one BADass shirt...

Do you really train with light weights always? Because I saw other video and you used a 70 dumbell for a stand press shoulder with one arm. Or do you use heavyweights one day and lightweights for other routine?

James I’m a 58 year old man who’s been lifting on and off all my life . For about 2 months I’ve been following your 20, 10, 10, 15 reps per set and leg work out which is a little different. I can see development in all muscle groups and a loss in body fat that has me ecstatic since light weight high reps burns more body fat and calories. I watch your videos before each work out to make sure I don’t forget anything before I do it. Love the light weight leaving your ego at the gym door bud. From my position in life, you can take a 58 Chevy, put a new interior, new motor, rear, tranny, wheels and so on but the reality with me is the frame is still old, so why stress it? Thank you for making these videos . Wish I had such advice when I was a young man but better late than never and it’s working for me 👍

I hope James realize how humble he is to share all this information and how he really is motivating and help people to improve themselves. You are a cool guy!

Look at this dudes cannonball shoulders. You're really going to tell him what he's doing wrong huh?GTFOH

Hey James, isn't doing a single arm to double arm super set not the greatest idea for shoulders ? Because after you finish your side laterals for your left shoulder on the cable you're immediately going to side laterals again with your left shoulder while the whole time your right shoulder has been at rest.

From my simple 5 years of experience, I totally agree with you. Those tips are the best that work for my body. I got a lot of talking at the gym but I didn't listen to anyone anymore because I found what best for me. Thanks you SO SMART and I really RESPECT You and now since this is a good source of knowledge I'll watch every step to learn new things. PEEEAAACE

Between this channel and ATHLEAN X you get all the tips one could possibly need. Absolutely great channels

Man....from what shop can us mortals acquire these "muscle geek" shirts?

Thanks for video, James. All these years of lifting and I never once began a shoulder workout with hitting posterior first. I gave this a try yesterday and now my rear delts are on my fire this morning. Feels so good!

I like that he actually did the workout. It seems like there are some people that just make up workouts for fun.

This is good to cut when on steroid cycle, like this guy.

hey HHH are you entering the royal rumble this year?

Yo James, I like your natural, relaxed delivery, as opposed to so many that try to create an online persona that seems forced and unreal. You're just being yourself, and that's cool. Also, your content seems mechanically solid, and based on your own development, effective. Nice job, sir.

I'm 60 and have been lifting all my life. Stopping on and off because of should pain. I used to lift heavy, but the older I get, I have learned to lift lighter and do great form. The acid that builds in my body is unbelievable. Hurting Like, a son of a biscuit eater. You don't have to lift heavy to look good. Your videos are really good buddy.

Good video, but I do find it hard to believe that you built your impressive shoulders using just 25 lb dumbbells on the presses. Are those the actual weights you use, or just for demonstration?

James, you talk about moving light weight to maintain good form....understood. However, at what part in our development do we go up on weight?

This guy knows his stuff and you can tell. No bs like the other youtubers.

I'm going to be honest....I used 10 lb dumbbells the whole time besides the cable pulls and this shoulder workout kicked my ass man. Thank your James

What should be the rest times in between these sets?

He always sounds so out of breath even before working out

By far you are the best body builder ever as you know all the technicalities and subtleties way better than the others on the internet.

Weight training correctly is like golfing. If you take the lessons even before you start you don't develop bad habits, injure yourself, and see results quicker. I believe James Gage outlines this effectively by a through explanation and demonstration... Kudos Mr. Gage.............

This dude is jacked, honest, and really fucking smart

James has been a huge influence and inspiration to me and the training variations Ive done over the years and to this day.

hes one of the best interms of giving out information and seems very genuine!

thanks for always keeping your videos clean (clean language) as nothing is worse than sharing informative videos with others and all they get remember is the foul language.

Seen a lot of instruction video,on the tube,but for whatever reason,i find this guys instruction very informative. Not only that,but following it,has taken my workouts to a new level of intensity..bravo Chris.

OMG, I am so grateful to find ur channel. Ur training techniques r amazingly simple old-school hacks. Whan you pointed out all the wrong ways of lifting, I confess, did & do! Maybe that's why I have touchy shoulders, knees, low back, hips, etc!!!!! Wish I met you 10 years ago!! I'm never too late to stay open minded & learn the right way to be my best, @ 47, I'll never stop! Love how you talk about mind-muscle connection & the importance of strict form & targeting the muscle! Thanku, xo

Just found James stuff recently. His workouts are the hardest I have done in 20 years. Speaks sense. Seems a great guy! Thanks James!!

One of the best fitness channels I've seen in a long time. Just workouts n nutrition, no BS. Automatically subscribed.

This video is very helpful. I find the explanation not only helpful for understanding the theory behind shoulder training, but also helpful for retaining the information better. Thank you!

Gave this a go today. Man i saw its impact right away. Usualy have to work much harder to see and feel the same results. Saved me from my stupid routine which left my shoulder hurting deep. Also great point about anterior delts. I feel them working in allot of other workouts so its redundant to work them in, and leaves them healthier for chest day. Thanks again to my new coach.

This dude is awesome. What a shoulder workout. Love it

I have watched and studied your workouts (and I've been through all of them at least twice), and I wish you would consider putting together workout and supplement videos for people say 65 and older. I think your training regimen is perfect for people my age who after a lifetime of bad form etc. just can't lift big weights any more without really hurting, or never could. I think it's an untapped market for supplement sales as well.

by far the best shoulder workout I've ever done! I was slumped over in pure agony... good agony!

This man obviously knows what he is talking about so if your hating on him it's prolly cuz your not in a gym putting in the work! good video my dude

Love this series, I think he could totally rival Athlean- X. I like both channels because I'm a HUGE visual learner. However, your use of computer animations to show the movement of the muscles and the detail you go into on top of that gives you an edge in my opinion. Keep it up bro, I just binged watched this whole series haha.

James, you popped up in my suggested videos yesterday, I watched and subbed. I dig the honest calm delivery of information without bad language. I don’t know why you don’t have 1 million subs, you should!

Best intermediate-advanced shoulder workout i have ever seen. Thanks

I decided to try this out. On the first go at it, great results! BURN, too, and definitely causes a sweat. I've been doing it now for about 3 weeks and I'm already seeing a significant gain in my shoulders (which has always been difficult for me). Thanks James!

I've just watched 6 videos of yours, and I must say I'm very impressed with the excellent quality of content you are giving us. I realize you do not have a video on building a wider back? I hope you make a video informing us on that very soon. Keep up the excellent job! I've also agreed from a previous video of yours do not let your ego get in the way by lifting heavy weights with improper form. I've done that recently, and now I'm suffering the consequence in being out of the gym for 2 weeks, I strained my lower back pretty bad in performing t-bar rows. I hope a workout program is coming out soon I definitely would pay money for that because I can tell it will be worth it based on your previous videos I've watched so far. You clearly know what you're doing, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

I'm a 1st timer on this channel. I am now a subscriber!! I see why you are The Muscle Geek. Everything makes sense, especially using the plates to do upright rows. Thanks for letting me know why I don't like to sit when doing dumbbell presses. I will be training from the rear to the front from now on.

I've been training since 1991 and I'm 41. I just let go of the super heavy weights to moderate weight high reps. My joints are pleased that I did so.

Did this workout at the gym last night,and for the first time,there were veins popping all over my delts. Shoulders sore as hell today,but it feels great.Only using 35lb dumbells for shoulder press,but nice and controlled.Two big overweight dudes on next bench,spotting each other using 70lb dumbells for 4 or five reps with shakey arms.All they got was a bright red face !

Tried this workout today and holy cow what a burn and pump! Thanks for all the tips and the complete workout James! I've been staying consistent with doing your workouts you've been putting out! Keep up the awesome work!

Never felt so much pumped in last six months since I started particularly the "rear dalt" awesome awesom awesome .....Best shoulder workout ever hats of to u Mr James Grage keep it up

I agree with him, using lighter weight for my shoulders pumps insane blood into them and I see much more gains versus using heavier weight where I don't feel the same engagement. Lighter weights people and don't forget that mind muscle connection!

I subscribed because of this video. This guys Seems Legit; No ego and knows his craft!

Took a few weeks to get up to speed on this workout and I still struggle to get through it but thats the point. Been doing this for 11-12 weeks and I got great results, and the mental processes have improved to other body parts and I am getting better results there too. Thanks for sharing this, it has made a big difference for me. Nothing motivates you more than results.

This guy really knows his stuff, new favorite channel

J'aime beaucoup les conseils que ce gars donne. Il n'a pas l'air d'un gars sur la sauce, seulement un gars normal qui s'entraîne fort et ne triche pas. J'adore

Watched this video last night. Did this EXACT workout this morning. I'm an avid and committed fitness junkie. This gave me the best shoulder pump I've ever had. My rear delts were the size of my chest lol. Great vid James!

Absolutely the best shoulder workout I've ever done. I love the lightweight aspect and the intense burn that I still get from it. As a 50-year-old one of my co-workers in passing had to do a double take and asked.... What are you doing, living at the gym? I said bro, I've never lifted more than 15 lb yet on my shoulder workout lol

ALL YOUR VIDEO ARE REALLY HELPFUL I'VE CHANGE MY ENTIRE ROUTINE NOW AND IT'S WORKING

This workout is indeed humbling. Going from rear to front is even more humbling. My shoulders were in failure mode very fast. Mentally at the gym you have to really check your ego. Go light, find your weights. Progress over time and you will grow pretty dam quick. Isolation method is just plain killer. And for me it helped fix an injury in my shoulder from years ago, by strengthening and staying in perfect form.

I Did This Today Feel's rally great man I hit the gym twice a day and I do one workout twice a day you helped me a lot Thank you for what you doing God Bless You keep it up wish you best

I have the same story as you mate. I got into an accident and my left arm and my left foot broke. Now I can t lift heavy but I can manage 15 pound dumbbells. This was really helpful. Hope you keep doing your thing brother!

As an advanced BB I really enjoyed the theory about starting with rear Delt and I'm not happy with my rear delt compared to rest of delts- great video and approach

I tried this today... Man, the burn!! I'm a heavy lifter, didn't believe I gonna feel those light weights, I was wrong, period!

your techniques are one of the best out there .... Ive just started doing your program literally today and its absolutely amazing.

Mate I love this style of training.i have been training for 20years now and after trying these routines this week,I can definitely say I love the moves,and I love the rep ranges.its spot on.in the past I've tried a few other you tube training routines or online etc to break the routine,and I've always had to do more at the end or just bin it off and walk away.i not only like this,I will stick to using it for the foreseeable future.it totally clicks for me,it's been a long time since my arms were this ragged.its nice to know I've found a plan that works that's explained properly down to the smallest detail scientifically,and demonstrated properly to assure it's understood.mate honestly I've been at this along time myself and it's refreshing to see someone like yourself who's passionate enough to go all out,and not just list a load of exercises that everyone does anyway.and from a personal point of view,thank you because you have just saved my training this week.was getting frustrated with nothing new.but this has got me right back on my game.that rep range as well....pure brilliance mate.encourage anyone to follow this plan.no bullshit,no selling shit with 'one sip of this shake will get you huge'. It's pure,educational,directional teaching from a guy who not only knows his shit,but is passionate enough to want to share that with others.massive respect mate.cheers

Thankyou James for the ENTIRE playlist.
