Build Huge Shoulders WITHOUT Weights! (Front, Middle, Rear)

- If you want to build huge shoulders then you need to know how to hit every head of your delts. In this video, I’m going to show you how to build bigger front delts, middle delts and rear deltoids without using any weight at all. Too often, we find ourselves thinking that weights are the only way to build big shoulders. That isn’t the case. If you have the bodyweight exercises for delts in your arsenal you will be able to get the job done even when you’re not training in a gym.

To start, you have to understand the concept of relative motion. It isn’t always necessary to focus on the moving limb during an exercise to see what part of the shoulder it is working. For instance, when you perform a side lateral raise you are moving your arm away from your body while holding onto a dumbbell. What is really going on is abduction at the shoulder joint.
If you apply this same move to an immovable floor however, you can get the same thing to happen at the joint. You can get resisted abduction to occur by rotating your body away from the arm that is fixed on the floor. Look closely and you will see that the same amount of abduction is occuring in the shoulder and that the muscles of the middle delt are working to accomplish this just as they would be in standing.
Just because the arm isn’t actively moving away from the body doesn’t mean that you cannot get the same effect. Simply move your body away from your arm and your middle delts will be on fire and you will have a new way to build huge shoulders without always needing to rely on dumbbells or heavy weights.
Next, you can apply the same concept to your front delts. Now the front deltoids are commonly worked in many popular shoulder exercises and even non-shoulder exercises. The important thing is to look at the motion of the arm is it is raised out in front of the body and overhead. This same movement pattern can be replicated into a bodyweight equivalent with the exercise I show you here called the pushaway press.
Here, you are using the fixed floor once again to serve as the resistance for your shoulders to push and contract against to propel your body backwards in the opposite direction. Again, the same pattern is happening in the front delts and the motion at the shoulder joint is the same. The resistance is determined by how low you position your body to the floor. Either way, you will quickly see that you do not need weights to build big shoulders if you start using this shoulder exercise.
Finally, you can apply the same concept to building your rear delts as well. Normally, the reverse dumbbell fly is the standard exercise of choice when building up the back of your shoulder. Again, this exercise depends on using weights. What if you don’t have access to them however and still want to get huge shoulders? Enter the reverse iron cross.
Lay down on your back on the floor with your arms outstretched and your fists pushing into the ground. Lift your back up off the floor just far enough to clear your upper traps and elbows. Hold for a brief count of 2 to 3 seconds to really intensify the contraction of the delts. You will quickly see that this again becomes a great alternative for building big shoulders when you don’t have access to any equipment at all.
If you are looking for a complete bodyweight only workout program to build bigger, wider shoulders, head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN XERO program. See how fast you can build your body without any equipment at all and start training like an athlete today.

Very very true. Jeff is a likeable guy and genuinely seems to want to help us.
That's just too true
There's nothing like the original source in which you get the correct technique
Yeah!!! Jeff is the best because he explain very well all the physics, all the muscle motion behind each exercise and proof what he is saying
I agree, but if you haven't checked out Anabolic aliens then you should; in my opinion they're very good aswell

I agree but sometimes he talks so much ,that I wish he would just get to the point. But I have learn so much great safety tips which have help my shoulder routine.
Really love how you're digging your heels into this CZcams platform even when others are abandoning it. I saw one of your ads. You're videos are always informative and inspiring! Thank you for all that you do Jeff.
I’m 60 years old and have been viewing Jeff’s vids for about a year now and using a lot of his valuable info in the gym and I see the positive results! Now that gyms are closed this is my new shoulder workout. Did it yesterday and I feel sore today and it feels great! Thanks Jeff for all your vids especially the body weight workouts at home vids they will help get me thru the Corona crisis. Your vids are very much appreciated!

I remember a similar video that you did some time ago, still these movements don't get old and they are fantastic. Handstand pushups or pike pushups would be some more challenging versions for the front and middle delt to include
As a guy preparing to run marathon its good to built a structured physique without weights. This was really helpful
Thanks Jeff🙏
rundi baaz yep I agree completely
Fascist hahahahahahahaha
Mr IY You're right. I am doing a lot of running by my self, no marathons though. Since I started doing excersizes with my own body weight, my running improved really well. It's like i have more controll over every motion i make during a run. Good luck with training!
Why afraid to touch weights. You could do the body weights exercise as part of the workout too
i say benefit from free weights and calisthenics
Can you do a workout video for your hairline next Jeff, mine has ran away and i'd like it back.
LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭
Hair extensions bro 😂
Hair running away is a sign of strength
Jeff is just at 1% of his real power
Aye yo :0
lol
great Video, great exercises, getting straight to the point. wasn't able to work out and watch your videos lately, glad to see that athlean x still has high quality content
This dude reads my mind on a weekly basis
Nick Velonis Seriously bruh. I'm looking to achieve a V taper by building up my back and shoulders and he comes out with an exercise to hit my weakest point, the rear delts.
Jeff, thank you so much for videos like these. Especially these ones that show how to work the muscles without weights. Great when I can’t make it to the gym and give me a different perspective on how the muscles are working when I have weights. You’re awesome.
Your advice never fails, has improved so many of my workouts. Even if its just changing 1 exercise variation or adding in a new exercise. Thanks for all the tips and tricks Jeff!
Hey Jeff! Thanks for all of the advice you provide in your videos. I have made an account just to sub on your channel and tell you just what an inspiration you are to me. Starting from when I first worked out to get fit via your videos 5 years ago, I doubled my weight through stressful times and being lazy. Now looking at your videos again. You have helped me with nutrition, exercising and most importantly motivation to start working out again. So far in 3 months I have already lost 25 kilos and I have still got 50 to go which will be a breeze since starting is the hardest. I have never felt so much energy in my life and efficiency in my workouts by following your program and videos. Thanks again and cheers! As your saying goes "you're either making gainz or excuses."
I'm bigger than Jeff
But that's cos I'm fat

The positivity in this channel is exactly what I need in life.
Hey brother, I really appreciate the channel. I've always found an excuse not to workout and the videos on calesetics style exercises have been working great. I started using your videos as a way to strengthen my back after damaging it overseas while on active duty. Granted I've taken some breaks but I've been really focusing on two main variations of exercises - the pushups and pullups/chinups. I will be adding more to my routine as time goes by and plan on continuing to check it out.
This is GREAT during the COVID-19 panic! Gyms are closing and I don’t have weights! Thanks!!!
Very thankful for Jeff right now.
remember.. do facefull!!!
You are beautiful 😍💓

Thanks man
I work in the oil field and I needed a way to hit all my muscles without my weights in my room
I know markers on glutes and legs cannot be used, but an Ultimate Legs ang Glutes Workout is needed, like that on the back. A complete video on all the muscles there are down there, and 2-3 best exercise for each one of them, would be the best ever. Please Jeff! Also, like this comment if you want it, too!
AGREED!!!!!!
PsicheViolata no markers on glutes a different legs?? Says who? Jeff in a banana hammock is what CZcams fitness needs!!!🍌
PsicheViolata PREACH
I don't think he does many leg videos for the same reason he always wears long pants. Dude's knees are fucked up. Pretty difficult to build really impressive wheels with that handicap.
I have noticed he has very few legs and glutes videos comparing with upper body workout, (and in so many years i've never seen him talking about and working out legs adductor/abductor... Maybe one time some years ago), it is a big lack for a channel like this. But you keep a good point. Anyway, he still squats and deadlifts a lot and has bigger legs than 90% of us (you can see them in a pair of videos). But even if he could not squat and deadlift a lot of weight, the purpose of these videos is just to show what to do; plus, there are other exercises he can do (he said bulgarian squat is his favourite for quads), and most of all with an ultimate complete workout (like that he does for back) he can show all the muscles in the legs and how training each one with 2-3 exercises: an isolation movement and a more athletic one for every muscles, like he usually does. This is the kind of video you would expect from a channel like this. It would be one of the best workout video ever.
This man is creative, I've been struggling to isolate my medial delt for do long, when I tried this technique I was happy to discover that it works for me so well! Thank you!!
I'm going to try these in my next shoulders workout
I really love creative and alternative exercises to the "classic " ones
Thank you
Jeff,
When I was a kid, my buds and I would watch skateboarding videos for hours and get super pumped up to go out and skate. Your videos have the same effect with me in terms of working out. You are a great motivator and the way you explain your techniques is not to be lauded. Thanks for all the free content.
Ryan
you are the best bro
Jeff really has a video of every kind of exercise.. i love this boi so much
Jeff always bringing the workout goodies. Thanks for all the no equipment workouts
The application of knowledge is power.
Wait wtf. Jeff only has 4* million subs.
Can someone explain this to me?
technically 4 but still should be more :D

Wow I love it, thanks a lot! It's been 2 months now that I stopped going to the gym and am trying to target shoulders along with my regular exercises so this is very helpful, thanks! Will try to find the same for back muscles 🙂 I like the way you get down to business, not much talk in between 👍🌻
Great video! I loved the middle delt exercise! Its so hard to find an isolated mid delt workout that doesn't compromise the stability of the GH joint. A closed system works better than an open system!
1. 0:54, shoulder press
2. 1:41, side lateral raises
3. 3:08, reverse iron cross
The first exercise is much harder than push ups, trust me. I was dying doing it in Jeff’s program
This is the coolest, most unique shoulder video !
Why?
These body weight exercises feel incredibly effective and challenging right from the get.
Thank You Jeff for expanding my routine
Wow thank you so much, these are not complicated and I can really feel the burn in all the parts of my shoulder muscles!

There's no excuse to get huge shoulders now!
Fox Goodman what if I dont have shoulders
alex cajilema then you better get working
your telling me Fox Goodman, JohntheJuan is gonna start a twitch channel now that i'm gonna get these ripped shoulders
Shouldn't that be "there's no excuse to not get huge shoulders now" ? Such a confusing idiom.
PhenomenalDisc1 link me that twitch channel when it happens haha
Definitely Love this. Great for those with no workout equipment! 💪
Started doing total beast workout and loving it so far. Cant go to the gym because of the coronavirus outbreak so its on hold for now. Sticking with short distance running and body weight exercises for the time being. You're the man Jeff thanks for the motivation.
Sore in 6 bodyweight series more videos pls
Jeff please show us how to workout without any equipment the neck, grip, forearm, and the rotator cuffs
For the rotator cuff, I do bodyweight face pulls by stringing a rope around a post and initiating the movement after grabbing the ends. For grip and forearms, try to do knuckle and fingertip pushups.
17bomb For your forearms If no equipment can include a stick or metal pipe, rope and anything heavy that can be tied up with the rope tie the rope to the stick in the center, it's preferable if you can drill a hole through stick and tie rope in a knot to hold it but just tying will work fine. Next tie the heavy object to other end leaving enough rope that if you held stick out at shoulder level the heavy object would be just off the ground. Next just use your hands to roll the rope up with weight attatched til it's all coiled around the stick and do the opposite to roll it back out. Change your grip from overhand to underhand every other set.
I don't know what the neck grip forearm is but as far as the rotator cuffs are concerned a great bodyweight exercise you can do google elbow pushup, I think athlean x has a video on this. Basically you lay on your back like you are about to do a crunch, place your elbows down to your sides arms up at a 45 degree angle, drive elbows down and backwards like you are doing a seated row, using your abs slightly to help lift your back including your lower back off the ground, slowly lower that is one rep.
Wow Jeff! Awesome stuff! I m going to these exercises for sure and will visit your website for supplement info. I m liking your programs alot! Thank.
Love it, instantly pumped shoulder muscles . on top of that "reverse iron cross" pumped my abs as well
Thanks for sharing 😎
“How to create the right diet program for your goals”
Ariel Zabihi Yes!
Ariel Zabihi eat when no one is watching you!
if no one sees you eating then it counts as 0 cal!
Tommy Wienke that was actually cery good advice
Ariel Zabihi cuz that’s what Jeff always preaches about! like he said last vid or so and with others, you build lean muscle by increasing protein intake, being in a hypocaloric state (if you want to shred fat with cardio work), and sleeping well
codejunki567 lol idiot
Durring the corona virus i've been trying to find exercises to compromise weights for my shoulders and this helped a lot. Thank you so much dude! Stay healthy every one!
Just tried this workout, it bloody works. Jeff you are awesome mate.
I’m going to try these moves out for the next 2 months I will post my progress here. Let’s see how big are my shoulders gonna be!
Now how big are they now
@@aronbe4590 Looks like he didn't follow through.
I've been checking 5 times a day since you posted this comment and not once have you followed up on this. I'm devastated that I'll never get to hear about your shoulders😩
Well I forgot that I made this comment the next day. My shoulders got bigger tho. I did the excercises 4 days a week and got some great results.
all these workouts made me realize going to the gym aint really needed for me
Excellent post! really original content! its great to see new stuff, not repeated 100s of times everywhere else.
Oh man, I have been needing those exercises for such a long time, but wasn't able to come up with them myself! THANKS!
I wanna see Jeff with facial hair. You all want. We all want Jeff.
Jeffs chin muscles are too strong, they just push all of the hair out.
He has no beard
It is Movember Jeff. Do it for the team - Jeff's team.
But he is still man
He said he can't grow bear
Notification squad!! another great video jeff!
My man, I shit you not: I have been SEARCHING for shoulder videos my whole ass life now (in particular the past two days). I couldn't do sports when growing up because I was born with a heart defect (which is healed up now) and now that I'm trying to get fit, I've realized how most of my muscles are severely weak or imbalanced. My Gluteus medius's are weak as balls, and so are my deltoids. Though oddly enough; my biceps and triceps are fairly large. so THANK YOU for this and THANK you for you epic channel.
Now we are talking!!! I do these movements when I teach my yoga classes!!!!! Loving your channel.
Front middle and rare delt, i like how i heard that when I rarely hit rear delts as it is
Rare delt lol, good one
1:40, I'm gonna try this...
As always, Thanks for all your exceptional material and contributions to our education.
This man is just amazing any issues relating to the body and he has the solution
Thank the gym gods for athleanx, all gyms are now closed in the UK 🙃
I struggled a bit with the middle exercise, i felt like my positioning was right but it out alot of strain on the joint of shoulder rather than the muscles. Any advice?
Ps love the reverse iron cross. I've no weights and really struggle to hit the rear delts
Yea same, ya get around it??
Jeff great video can't wait to Incorporate these 3Exercise For shoulders.... since ive been watching your videos I've been getting shredded and more shredded thank you!
Good job Jeff. I have been moving away from bodybuilding with weights toward bodyweight training for a couple of months now and getting better results.
For the last exercise how do you make sure your abs aren't dominating the movement?
Emmanuel Ike I do not think their is a way to do the last two Exercises without simultaneously working your core.
I thought the same thing. But push down on your fists as you raise up as high as possible. Your elbows will lift off the floor and rear delts will be lit!
Vandrosia Yes, that’s what I learned through trial and error...but I still feel my core engaged minimally while simultaneously killing my rear deltoids. But, that’s not a bad thing, all his Exercises will concentrate on one area, but since your body is your equipment, all of his exercises will focus on one area and benefit other areas as a supplement. That’s a good thing, for me.
Bcoz jeff invented it
Mind is on the fists and rear delt pushing down and pulling up the shoulders. The abs should not be clenched
Jeffs hairline is 👌
Brilliant bodyweight variations. I will give these a blast for sure and i can do them anytime.
Masterful. Seriously.
Using natural body weight and relative motion to develop *world power strength* growth in shoulders.
I've tried them too. Excellent support exercises. Chapeau a vous, Jeff. Chapeau.
I am preparing for natural bodybuilding so which program should I take???
Surendra K V what is this unnatural bodybuilding that you are trying to avoid?
Quantum Axe in unnatural bodybuilding steroids synthol & anabolic use is prohibited. Without using that we should build muscle.
Ross enamaits never gym less

i always wanted to get bodyweight version of delt exercise. very good video jeff! you helped me so much!
I actually felt that in my side delt. Good workout to hit shoulders when traveling. Thanks
Jeff i pray to you every night
Josh I think about him every night, too.
