Negative comments are all part of putting yourself out there online.
But today I’m doing a better job than normal at this.
I have a TikTok video that is going viral.
I posted it a while back, but it is picking up steam…
It’s a shoulder press test.
It’s seriously pissing people off.
A good goal for shoulders is to be able to press half your weight, per dumbbell, for 6 reps.
So if you weigh 180 pounds?
You should be able to press with 90-pound dumbbells for six reps.
Once I was able to use 90-pound dumbbells is when my shoulder development really took off.
I think the main reason people are irritated is that they are unable to achieve this strength standard.
I get it…
I used to struggle with shoulder strength as well.
Most people mess up because they hit shoulders as an afterthought.
They work it on the same day as chest & triceps.
Or they will hit shoulders 2 days after working chest and tri’s.
After doing heavy chest exercises the “pressing muscles” and local nerves need time to recover.
To get REALLY strong with shoulders?
You need 3 full days rest from any chest/triceps work.
As soon as I did this…
My shoulder strength began to F*CKN rocket.
Here’s a video I posted up on TikTok yesterday where I’m using 120-pound dumbbells in the shoulder press.
This was only made possible by giving priority to shoulder training.
- Adequate rest
- A perfect number of reverse pyramid sets
- The right amount of overall volume
It took me a while to dial this in but…
I cover it in detail in Movie Star Masterclass.
This in my opinion is the ideal strategy for building incredible shoulders.
Use it!

P.S.
I never let negative comments on my videos affect me.
I realize that most of these negative remarks come from a place of frustration.
All I can do is share tips to help people get unstuck.
If I can help people, even the ones who are negative at first, I feel like I’m making a difference.
Back to shoulders…

P.S.
This is urgent!
You need to get to 12% or less ASAP.
Because body fat is estrogenic…
Excess body fat, especially visceral fat, contains high levels of the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen.
You need to get lean to get your testosterone up!
Once you get lean – It becomes easier to stay lean.
This is because higher T levels help you melt fat and gain muscle.
This is why I’m able to stay lean year-round.
I cover all of this in my system – High T Fat Loss.
