30 Seconds Summary4 Practical tips on how to build rounder delts
- Most bodybuilders have disproportionately larger front delts compared to their lateral and rear delts.
- The study highlighted involves comparing EMG activity in different deltoid exercises among competitive bodybuilders, focusing on front and back barbell and machine overhead presses.
- Behind-the-neck barbell presses are most effective for engaging lateral and rear deltoids, enhancing shoulder roundness.
- Dumbbells are preferred over barbells for shoulder exercises as they allow better movement in the frontal plane and greater muscle activity, especially beneficial for the lateral deltoids.
- Standing while performing shoulder exercises is suggested over sitting, as it allows natural movement and better scapular mobility.
- Using a wide grip during barbell overhead presses can aid in emphasizing lateral and rear deltoids rather than the front.
- The video discourages front raises, suggesting a focus on lateral and rear delt exercises to correct the common imbalance of overdeveloped front delts.
