I love it, I'm never afraid of high reps, 50 reps, 100 reps, it's great, just like 5 or 6 reps are great too. Some people ''fear'' high reps, the highest they can go is like 12 reps, it's almost like they think high reps are a total waste of energy, SMDH

I like to do 15s for super high reps sometimes. Really pumps the shoulders nicely.

I’m not big or lean so when I’m at rest you don’t see much, but when I’m flexed and with a pump during workouts I have clear definition in all three shoulder heads. For example during bent over barbell row I always look at my shoulders and see all three heads.
This is good, but you should develop your physique to the point there is muscle definition at all times, not just when you are training (for example, I can flex my arm rn and I see crazy definition everywhere, forearms, biceps, triceps, delts, everywhere)

I was always like Lee Priest, huge arms and delts, no chest at all. Thank God I overcame the issue, it was not easy to fix though

He’s probably my favorite bodybuilder along with Ed Corney. Old timers like Reg Park, Steve Reeves, and Larry Scott also.

In my eyes he had the best physique and to this day I hold that opinion. I wouldn’t ever want to look like a pro bodybuilder though, even the ones from the golden era. I like more natural looking physiques.

That what put him above Franco for me in the short class. Franco had more mass proportionally but Ed was more symmetrical, and he was such a great poser, while Franco was a mediocre poser.

Idk about Franco being a ''mediocre'' poser. As an Italian American I admire Franco a lot as well as many other Italian bodybuilders (Ferrigno, Centopani, etc)

I’m Italian-American also, but I’m not biased towards Italian bodybuilders. I am a fan of Franco and Lou though.

Lol @ that guy claiming he once did 60's for 6 reps but stopped because he "got too big" from them. Might as well claim you bench over 500 for a clean rep raw as a lifetime natty @ sub-200lbs without providing any evidence for it.

This is yet another one of those exercises that I see people 'ego lifting' in - standing and bouncing a bit with their knees to make the raise easier; bending their arms significantly to reduce the actual weight on the muscle (physics...). Here's how I do them:



And I aim for 4 sets of 8 as a minimum on an upper body day where I have typically already done both barbell bench and supersets of lat pulldowns and seated db cleans.

EDIT: I use 8kg dumbbells now. This is also an exercise where increases in weight take a good amount of time.
