Outside The Box Exercises

John knows his stuff. I try to use some of his movements in my DC routine when possible.

Some months ago I threw in heavy partial DB laterals for my side delts. The benefit of that is how much the traps come in to play, too. I usually get them on my back day, and the extra work significantly brought them up in the last 6 months or so. I guess there's something to be said for frequency.

I have a good idea of how this might look...but do you have any vids? I am guessing in the ballpark of 2x the weight you would normally use for strict laterals?

A little more than that, but yeah. I do high-rep drop sets with it. So say, 70# for 15 reps, then 55# for 15 more, then 40# for 15. I got the idea from John Meadows, and man, oh man, does it work.

I am on it. Never done them in this manner. I am picturing the bottom half of the movement. So from start position to somewhere between naval and nipples as top position?? And just cranking out high reps with the most lbs you can handle? Body English ok?
