If you’re new here in “AtlasVille”, the camera may tend to make me look more like John Cena in terms of physical stature. While I love John, I don’t want that to scare you off, lol…
So, as you watch this session, be sure to keep in mind, I’m 5’2″, 132 LBS (give or take a little, depending on the day)… So, I’m actually more like Bruce Lee in terms of true physical stature. I think he actually had about 3 inches on me (5’5″ or 5’6″ ish…)
I’m posting this on a Monday – but I did this yesterday afternoon, hence…
In this Simple & Strong Sunday Shoulder Session (5 S’s there, 6 if you feel like throwing in Sexy) I Take You Through 4 Awesome Moves
1 – Freestyle Real Deltoid Abduction w/ Dumbbell (back part of the shoulder and upper back)
2 – Body-weight Shoulder Press Using Asymmetrical Variance Gripping on SCULPTABOD Home Gym Unit
3 – Unilateral (Single-Side) Total Shoulder Eccentric Circles
4 – Ninety-degree Unilateral Shoulder Raise
As always, in keeping with “The Atlas Way” philosophy and methods… You’ll notice the following:
A – Slow, controlled movements, with minimal momentum (none where possible)
B – Low-Intensity (LIIT), High-Focus
C – Low repetitions, high quality movement in each repetition
D – Including subtle pause-holds at certain end points of exercises
Each exercise is considered an ‘interval’ and all 4 of them performed one right after the other, comprises and larger/longer ‘interval’…
I point those out to give you more insight into the LIIT aspects of my methods and how, even though they are the opposite of HIIT, and contrarian to collective cultural “workout mindset” and habits of the masses… The benefits and results are undeniable, and they fly in the face of current traditional approaches to fitness.
Go figure 🙂
While this is a portion of the total training session, the entire session from start to finish took me about 25 minutes, THAT’S IT…
PROOF: You Don’t Need to Spend Hours In the Gym to Get Awesome Results…
Rather, you can spend less than half an hour a day, AT HOME, and get results that will turn heads everywhere and, MOST importantly, give you a health profile that will make your doctor want to know your secrets…

Jacqui says
That’s fantastic that the workouts are so effective and pain free. You mentioned before that you jog. Do you ever have runners’ knee? This is something I have to deal with daily. I jog/hike every day for about an hour and a half.
Joey Atlas says
Thanks, Jacqui!
I used to have many challenges with my knees back in the “gym lifting/weight-training days”… But since moving to mostly body-weight training and shorter running/jogging (3 miles round trip almost every morning).. I rarely feel any issues with my knees. Keep in mind – I do stretch daily too, which I believe is another big help.
Do you stretch? Are you doing any lower-body strengthening? If so – what does the program look like.
Jacqui says
I stretch first thing in the morning and after I come back from running. My lower body workout is the Symulast program and calf raises.
Joey Atlas says
How long have you been doing SYMULAST?
Have you ever seen a specialist for the runner’s knee? If so – what was suggested?
Jacqui says
I started Symulast 6 weeks ago in while I was overseas. I was surprised that it increased mobility from the beginning. The suggestion for my runners knee was to switch shoes, which I do regularly. I have just returned to the States after living in Europe for about a year. Over there I walk about 12 miles a day with light running at night, so I go through shoes quickly.
Joey Atlas says
Wow – will you continue the same daily mileage here?
How much (mile) of light running?
