Mastering Arms and Shoulders: A Simplified Approach

Brian, Nick, and Brad discuss how to grow your arms and delts while keeping your joints pain-free and healthy. How have the coaches’ views changed when it comes to programming direct arm and delt volume? What tips does the team’s physical therapist have for training your delts if you’re dealing with shoulder pain? If you can’t train a muscle in its lengthened position, is it even worth training it? What are good progression strategies for isolation exercises? Do you need to have isolation exercises for the posterior head of the deltoid in your program to keep your shoulders healthy? What are the group’s go-to exercises for their biceps, triceps, and delts?
