For those complaining about Delt work in the example template - Jason Newman - 10-27-2016 So I have seen this around a bit with this program lately. A lot of Scott, there isn't enough Delt in the program. 3 thoughts on this. 1. The template given in the book is an example and I know Scott has said it numerous times. It is adjustable based on your needs 2. Exercise Selection is KEY to lower volume programs. Think about this: Client A and Client B need more tricep development. Client A Exercise Choices, Incline Press, Decline Press, Flat Press, Banded/Cable Pushups, Dips Client B Incline Press, Flies, Decline flies, Incline/Uppercut flies Tricep extension, Client A has more overlap on his/her triceps and therefore more Volume within the same amount of exercise. 3. This also goes in reverse... keep in mind how much volume you are doing and if you are regressing you need to look into your overlap. Example here for Delts, as a few folks complain about their medial delts not being hit enough. The reverse facing DB Press that Scott has shared still does utilize a lot of medial delt for stabilization, yet this cable machine takes it 1 step further. Note: you will essentially be doing a delt fly as the way in which you must grip the handles, lowers the pressure in the "pressing" angle and you are not able to push through your hand so much as you elevate and bring your elbows toward the mid-line.

There was no direct posterior delt work here - just heavy slag iron on pulling movements. (Look closely at the rear delts. ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BLtxkSmBwRW/?taken-by=teamkvn (This is DOWORK's client.)

Pulling is plenty for rear delts in my opinion unless a client somehow does not use delts much, but most easily activate rear delts over rhomboids and mid traps. My client Brian with only pressing and medial delt work. (granted his delts are a gift of his skeletal structure. He has only been lifting 2yrs https://www.instagram.com/bmramanis/ RE: For those complaining about Delt work in the example template - Jason Newman - 10-28-2016 Here is my own experience with it. 1st pic is 2013. 2nd pic is 2015 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100866750212485&l=429a3b4b38 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10101944849343185&l=c4a0cd7e5b RE: For those complaining about Delt work in the example template - Scott Stevenson - 10-28-2016 Nice! (Fyi, see the PS in this post: FT Tier 2 not hitting shoulders enough? ) -S
