What makes it so special is because the resistance is directly on the elbow and not on the forearms as with dumbbells.

Thanks

If you haven’t tried it, you simply have to. Cabled delt raises (the McManus Method) have now replaced dumbell delt raises.

I’m a convert!

ps: i’m back to construction site now and we have here a pretty basic gym. I’m missing my usual gym’s pec deck machine… If you have good ideas on how to work arround that, i would be happy to get your thoughts.

I’ve used it and its good.

They’ve been around for decades actually. As I stated above, I’ve seen these machines (I think Nautilus were the originators) but the exercise I created is a cable movement that replicates their effectiveness. As I say in comment 14, if you’ve access to one of those machines, use it.

Isolates the delts more than the exercise Marc just demonstrated. Sorry Marc……you didn’t invent this movement. Dang huh 🙂

I wasn’t sure whether or not to include that but I think I will. I want to avoid the book coming across as an advert for A Month of Mass or even TSPA. People are cynical enough about free online books, I don’t want to help reinforce that cynicism.
@Mike. Just 1
@Sean. Dang it!
@Wouter @JT. Those machines provide the same resistance as this cable movement with the same lever length. If you’ve access to one, use it.
@Akshay. No, not quite – you need to read all the text below the video to see why.
Yes breathing is important. While weight lifting is an anaerobic activity, we DO use all 3 energy systems – including our aerobic system.
People have different opinions on breathing patterns but there’s no definitive data on what works best. My advice to people is simple – just keep breathing. The pattern isn’t as important as breathing itself. Because of the intensity that I work to I find myself using rapid breathing patterns. Perhaps on your last rep you’ll find it almost impossible not to hold your breath for a split second, that’s fine. Just keep oxygen coming into your body.
@rohit. Thanks man.

I have a couple of questions
1.Do the lateral dumbell raise have the same effect?
2.While doing any workout, is the aerobic part (i.e. the breathing) important?

It’s a great workout, my delts are growing in nicely.

We do have a machine at our gym that uses the same motion (something like this https://healthsystemsnortheast.co.uk/images/SHOULDER%20RAISE.jpg ) but with round pads, like Zipper described. But they also have the wrap attachments, so I can’t wait to see everyone staring at me when I try these out. Mechanically speaking they make a lot of sense, and since they’re based on the whole PCP-theory to me they’ll be called the “McManus lateral raise”.

As always, great stuff. And one video closer to the new book!

Eagerly awaiting THT3!

For the shoulder circuit you described in the other post, do you do 1 superset or 3 of those supersets?

Thanks,
Mike

Does the new TA contain results from your first month of mass experiment?

@Zipper, thanks man. There used to be Nautilus machines as well that placed the resistance on the upper arms but it’s rare to see one at a gym.
@Scott. Yes. I want update TSPA again after the new TA. Then I’ll have time for another Month of Mass.
@Rick. It’s the position of the resistance that is important – using a cable as in regular cable lateral raises is what you’ve seen, right? If not, what attachment were these people using that you saw to shorten the lever length? In all my years I’ve never seen or heard of anyone doing this specific exercise.

It is nothing more than taking the dumbbell out of the side raise and using a cable. I’ve seen guys doing that at gyms since at least the 80’s.

As a side note, when the new THT book comes out will you be starting up another “Month of Mass” training program?

It’s close and more like you are rolling up sandbags on both shoulders in a similar motion. However this looks like it’s going to hit the shoulder a hell of allot better with direct and complete resistance. If we don’t have the little leg attachments, I’ll just buy one to take with me as we do have a full cross-over cable machine.

Awesome job mah man!

You have a date set for the release of your new e-book?
