The video is a fitness tutorial by Jeff and Kevin from Athletenext.com, where they discuss the best shoulder exercises that can be performed with just a pair of dumbbells. They emphasize the importance of context and training purpose when selecting exercises.
The exercises they recommend are divided into four categories: strength, power, hypertrophy, and corrective. For strength, they suggest the standing dumbbell press, which allows the elbows to be out in front of the body for a safer overhead press. For power, they recommend the push press, which utilizes the legs to drive from the ground up. For hypertrophy, they suggest the side lateral raise, which can be modified to a cheat lateral form. For corrective exercises, they recommend the prone press and the ear lacquer, which targets the rear delts.
They also mention that if you have access to a barbell, you can make the exercises more challenging by making smaller jumps with the dumbbells. They stress the importance of not just adding more weight to the bar for muscle growth, but also applying stress to and through failure.

Here are the extracted facts from the text:
1. The speaker is Jeff, also known as Kevin, and he works with athletes at AthleteNext.com.
2. Jeff is discussing the best shoulder exercises that can be done with just a pair of dumbbells.
3. He had a conversation with Rick Slate, a strength coach for the Oakland Raiders and the New York Mets, about the best exercises to do with just a pair of dumbbells.
4. Jeff is going to cover different types of exercises, including strength, power, hypertrophy, corrective, total body, and metabolic training exercises.
5. The standing dumbbell press is a good exercise for strength, as it allows for a full range of motion and doesn't require a bench.
6. The push press is a good exercise for power, as it requires explosive strength and utilizes the legs to drive the movement.
7. The side lateral raise is a good exercise for hypertrophy, as it targets the deltoids and can be done with a variety of weights.
8. The cheat lateral raise is a variation of the side lateral raise that allows for heavier weights and a greater range of motion.
9. The strict lateral raise is another variation that targets the deltoids and requires strict form.
10. The mechanical drop set is a training method that involves doing multiple sets with decreasing weights to target the muscles from different angles.
11. The fixed arm or lockout front raise is an exercise that targets the front deltoids and can be used as part of a mechanical drop set.
12. The high pull is an exercise that targets the rear deltoids and can be used as part of a mechanical drop set.
13. The figure eight is an exercise that targets the rear deltoids and can be used as part of a mechanical drop set.
14. The dumbbell power clean and press is a total body exercise that targets the shoulders, back, and legs.
15. The prone press is a corrective exercise that targets the mid-scapular muscles and the rotator cuff.
16. The rear delt row is an exercise that targets the rear deltoids and can be used to target the rear deltoids in isolation.
17. The ear lacquer is an exercise that targets the rear deltoids, as well as the traps and rhomboids.
