In this brief monologue, the speaker recounts using the late John Meadows' "Destroyer sets" as a core shoulder exercise. The protocol involves loading a very heavy dumbbell (about twice the usual weight) for roughly 35 heavy partial repetitions, then dropping to half the weight to attempt full‑range reps, which often results in another 35 partials—totaling about 70 reps in a minute and a half. The first session caused intense delayed shoulder pain that brought the speaker to tears while walking home, but the method was adopted as a primary shoulder‑building technique and is credited with creating the speaker’s deltoid “cap.”

John Meadows, the late John Meadows, he had these things called Destroyer sets. It's probably my, one of my most common shoulder exercises. You take super heavy dumbbells, probably twice what you normally can do, and you just do heavy partials for like 35 reps. And then you drop to half that weight, you try and do full range reps, but you end up just doing another 35 partials. So it's like 70 reps in like a minute and a half. The first time I did that, I remember walking home from the gym and I started tearing up from like the, the pain at a delay, like 20 minutes afterwards, it was like my shoulders were on fire. Then I started using that almost as my primary shoulder growth thing. And it's what, it's what created like the, the cap for my delt, me personally.
