What's the best exercise for front delts??

[guldukat]

yes im sure, it was almost the whole tape measure, all 60 in of it
i dont understand, i jsut watch in awe

Mind-boggling. That's significantly bigger than a lot of pros' chest measurements.

i thought the pros were in the 60+, well, dude, if u seen this guy, youd freak out... i still do

wide grip militaries actually as the close grip gets a lot of help form tris.....do them after you have pre-fatigued them with front raises

Yeah, that's just it. I seem to feel it in my triceps more than anything usually(the militaries that is).

Gonna try front raises again maybe lighter weight this time, I always get pain in my shoulders when I do this.

I'm sure I would. He sounds pretty impressive, even if his wheels are a bit deficient

But nah...most pros aren't anywhere near that. Haney often said his chest was no more than 55". Mentzer told me that Frank Zane had a 45" chest and 16.75" arms at his prime. And Arthur Jones personally measured Sergio Oliva's chest at 52" (this was at a very lean bodyweight).

Jones also said that Sergio was the only bodybuilder he'd personally measured that had a geniune, relaxed differential of 20" between his chest and waist. There are guys who have probably exceded that and then some, but most pros flat-out lie about all measurements.

Tape measures also shrink over time. For the most accurate measurements, Jones used to cut himself a new tape for every measurement he took!

Of course, Art could be a little nutty, but he had no reason to lie. I tend to trust his figures more than I do a guy talking about his own biceps, for instance (though of course guys today ARE way bigger than they were in the early 70s).

tru, the guys isnt ripped, i mean, he has meat on him, so...
BTW, i noticed yesterday, his ribcage is extremely wide for his height, and i think hes more around 5'8, i misjudged... that is a reason too

52 years old, 5'6" at 230 with no lower body and you don't think so? I don't care how long you've been working out. If someone has been working out 35 years they're probably bound to use gear somewhere along the line. I mean how far do you think your genetics will take you?

i know alot of people who have been working out for years and have never used AS. it's called living a healthy lifestyle. don't assume people juice because they love to lift bro.

Its very possible that he's a super genetic freak. Very possible, especially lifting big weights like that. your boy DC says jokingly that he thinks Paul Dillet could get big "mowing the lawn." Freaks like that are out there.

I believe it man....the black dudes at my gym just put up ridiculous weights all the time....their genetics are sick

My favorite would be the standard overhead press, either seated or standing. However I've switched to seated after hearing that you can injure your lower back easier in the standing version if your form slips.

All the more reason to make sure you keep your back (core) strong along with the rest of you.
