Want to sculpt shoulders like five-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead? Well, you’re in luck because his coach, Hany ‘Pro Creator’ Rambod, just spilled the beans on their secret shoulder workout technique. Rambod has been guiding Bumstead since 2022, shaping him into the champion he is today.

In a recent video shared by the Pro Creator on YouTube, alongside Bumstead, he demonstrates a powerful exercise to blast those shoulders into boulder-like proportions. The exercise? “Front raises” using a spider bench. But here’s the kicker—it’s all about the technique.

The bodybuilding coach emphasizes the importance of precision, advising against swinging and urging for a slight pause at the top of each raise. According to him, it’s all about owning the weight and avoiding momentum. By doing so, you maximize the time your front delts spend under tension, which is key for optimal gains.

As the IFBB pro coach explained, “Make sure you’re not using momentum because you want maximum time under tension on that front delt.” And why is this crucial? Well, those anterior delts are what give you that coveted separation between your chest and shoulders, making for an impressively relaxed front pose and that intimidatingly muscular shot.

This technique isn’t just about lifting weights; it’s about sculpting artistry. It’s about chiseling those shoulders to perfection, creating a masterpiece that stands out on stage. And with Rambod’s guidance and Bumstead’s dedication, achieving those boulder shoulders suddenly seems within reach. It’s not it, Before clinching his fifth Olympia title, the epitome of the human body revealed his entire shoulder routine.
