looks like a front raise with a supinated grip for the anterior delts
Interesting way to do them. I think that puts some strain on the biceps too, since you have to hold the arm in that position. Might even work the triceps some too. Most guys lock out the arms and do it pronated.
Very noticeable SEO use in arms and delts, not a good look.
It's not that unusual to see, but it certainly has no advantage over conventional grip. People like to turn the nuts even if it does not make sense.
i don't really understand why any competitive bodybuilder would do any direct work for their anterior delts. have you ever seen a pro with poorly developed anterior delts? Neither have i. rear and medial delts, sure but not front. On top of this, most competitive bodybuilders are training their chests pretty hard and the front delts take a pretty big hit from all the chest work. i know personally my front delts get very sore from any kind of chest pressing work, be it incline, flat, and/or dips (especially with dips). If you were to make the argument that it's for warming up or restorative work, that would make more sense.
Perhaps their highly developed front delts are due to them doing the direct front delt work. :lightbulb:
I like the upper chest move juan morrel did right before the video transitioned to charles.
