Well - AGAIN you guys look at the wrong things...
You can't take a photo and consider that person does certain weight in certain exercise always "conventional way"...
While that weight is certainly "brutal
" if done as the sole exercise in normal fashion...it is completely different thing if that exercise is 4-5th in a sequence of exercises in let's say - a giant set...
Or if it's done differently (like super slow...partial...rest-pause...as a drop set...or ascending set...)
Hide and I just finished another DELT TRAINING -and this time emphasis was on side delts (last time REAR DELTS and time before that FRONT DELTS)...
So today we did:
SEATED D-BELL SIDE LATERALS
25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 X 10 reps
+
85, 95 X 10 reps (seated - single arm - with forced reps)
STANDING LOW PULLEY CABLE SIDE LATERALS
40, 50, 60 X 10 reps (my low pulley machine is HEAVY - so this much weight is REALLY HARD TO MOVE)
+
70, 80 X 10 reps (single arm - with force reps)
3 GIANT SETS (as strict as possible):
Low pulley cable side laterals 50 lbs X 10 reps
+
Standing D-bell side laterals 40 lbs X 10 reps
+
Low Pulley cable laterals 30 lbs X 10 reps
+
Standing D-bell side laterals 25 lbs X 10 reps
+
Seated D-bell side laterals 15 lbs X 10 reps
Than we went to REAR and FRONT delts...
This is an example to consider that if you see Hide doing side laterals with 15 pound d-bells - it doesn't really mean that he is a "brutal 4'10" Asian Midget with no power"...Indeed he is 4'10 and a half" Asian Energizer Bunny Monster that never stops...
OK - he doesn't come on this board so I can call him 4' tall (almost 5
...)
