Vissers starts with a cable stack lift, but he raises the pulley to about the level of his hips to get the cable pull vector 90 degrees from the middle deltoid fibers at the begin point and end point of each repetition. He also recommends an ankle cuff to take stress of the wrist.
Next, the middle deltoid is worked an a bench set to about 40-45 degrees. Lie on your side with upper body on the up side. Bottom leg is hip flexed and knee flexed underneath. Visser recommends that the top leg is positioned back to permit more range of motion of the side dumbbell raise at the start and end positions.
Posterior deltoids are worked using the horizontal hand grips. Visser moves his and position medially to get greater range of motion for each rep of horizontal abduction.
For the Reverse Fly with dumbbells, sit on the bench, feet in front, then flex your hips to lean your upper body forward. Dumbbells should almost hit at the start and end repetition position.
Front deltoids are automatically used in bench press work or chest work. However, Wesley Vissers does recommend on exercise for front deltoids -- old school Front Raise, alternating with dumbbells.
Visser recommends four sets of 15 to 20 reps. Weights that are too heavy, recruit other muscles, such as the trapezius muscle, which reduces the isolation and focus on the deltoid muscle worked.
