So I'm a neckbeard never worked out in my life and I started going to the gym 2 months ago, I'm on my 14th day there (I go 2x per week) and I've noticed my muscles are finally forming but I don't know what muscle this is, it's like behind my shoulder between my back and my shoulder.Is there any way to make it grow bigger? It seems to be the only part that didn't grow at all, I've only been doing shoulder machines where you lift up weights and some biceps with a chest press.
>>76700800face pulls and behind the back cable lateral raise 15-20 reps, 4 setsgo get em tiger
>>76700800Some word of advice. Face pull is a different animal and yes very good like other anon suggested. Thing is with training back let's take a row. If your elbows are tucked to your sides, so the arms are straight down, it targets the lats and very little of the upper back. If you flare your elbows wide like a cross, and even keep your elbows higher than your wrists then you target the upper back and most likely the rear delts as well. Neat little thing to take into consideration when doing back exercises.
>>76700800its you rear delt its not developed its covered with blubber, you're 30% bodyfat.
>>76700800i'll piggyback on this thread.i have underdeveloped front delts despite doing 55lbs OHP dumbbells for 7 reps. i couldn't feel them at all a couple of weeks ago. i stopped all shoulder workouts and started doing front raises with light weights. started with 5lbs and raised it to 10lbs for 8 reps then started doing 20lbs overhead press with elbows in front and palms facing inwards for 3-5 reps.when i release the flex of the front delt, it hurts. i haven't felt sore at all. although i feel i can actually recruit it now and feel it contract.i asked chatgpt, it said i have inflammation in the tendons from overuse. i do get some popping when i move my shoulder that i didn't have before.the question is, should i train it despite the inflammation or should i quit until it goes away?chatgpt said i can do isometrics just fine but i prefer listening to /fit/.
>>76700800Do you not do pendlay rows?
>>76701118Take anti-inflammatory substances like Turmeric, ginger and omega 3. Rest for 3 days. Try it again and if it still hurts you likely need a week or two rest with gentle mobility work. Likely the muscle is tight if it's weak which strains the tendon even more. Also take 20g of good quality collagen a day. Or eat a lot of gristle from meat. Ibuprofen is also extremely effective if you aren't already but it's damaging on the body. You'll know tendinitis because it will be quite sharp burning pain which goes when you relax for the most part, with minor lingering pain being common. It's a small manageable issue but you have to ease up with isolation and take it slower and lighter. Such a small muscle so you can overwork it easily.
>>76700800A lot of these mf'ers here will tell you to DO rows, rear delt fly, reverse pec dec flySad thing is 99% of /fit mothr fukers don't know how to lift as shown by shitty ass bodies. Yes, the exercises they tell you will grow ur rear delts, but the key is to limit your ROM so that the tension in this tiny muscle doesn't shift to elsewhere. do some study and put some thoughts into ur rear delts while ur working them. you should see rear delts pumped out like a bump postworkout even if you are a fat fuck.
>>7670111855 db ohp is nothing, standing or seated. Get to 70s at least.
>>76700800start doing this. can't find the video of him exolaining it. sorry.but start without weight at all, you should feel the rear delts activating even without weights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGZVv5zqCFE&t=229https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss7WW_H8sR8&t=1389
>>76701986I just saw a nippard video yesterday talking about it. It makes sense, if you do the full ROM the back muscles take over since they're much stronger
>>76700800just do Calisthenics and eat lessno fatno dairyno carbsno sugar800cal per dayyou cant even see most of your muscles because you have so much body fatso you cant even tell what is developing or how much or what you need to work onthere is no bulk, there is no cutjust a good diet and a good workout regime
i remember thinking my muscles were growing after 2 months too op, it's your imagination though. lift for a year without stressing over minutia then come back
>>76700800Do those seated cable rows with a wide grip attachment. Get strong as fuck in that movement like 100kg for reps and you will be a monster.
>>76703808Newbie gains are definitely a thing, and if you're not a fatass they show
>>76701460will do. thanks.>>76702001i've been stuck at 55lbs for several years. i have only recently discovered that i don't have a front delt.i fell for the you don't need to train it directly meme.
>>76704147Work in different rep ranges. Eat more. And do incline db bench. Use your legs to kick up the weight, once you get to 70s it gets harder
>bumping from 10Die
>>76700830Wrong! Keep a high back angle and elbows tucked and bb rows will murder your upper back
>>76700830I feel like that's dangerous with significant weight
>>76700808every day?
>>76700800Im gonna say 2 tricep ropes y rows or facepull things, upright rows preferably same setup, and also postural so like super strict btb/db shoulders and pose upright.
>>76706171Obviously talking about a chest-supported row or cable rows and how elbow angle changes the muscles worked, your way works by torso angle, it has nothing to do with the elbows and thus nothing to do with a barbell row. OP also mentioned using machines.
>>76700800you should circle all the muscles and areas in your body you don't think look ideal and we'll focus on one at a time until you're built into a vitruvian marble statue of a man.Would you like that?
>>76700800>I've noticed my muscles are finally formingwhere?
