Holy crap, that's a lot of shoulder work! Are you trying out a new shock treatment or something? Of course, I never work just shoulders, they are always combined with other body parts, so they get hit indirectly also.

This is what my trainer wants me to do.....He wants to cap off & create more depth in my front & rear delts.....

Why are folks doing 25-30 sets per bodypart up in here??

Last thing I will say about it:


Building muscle is like building a house.

If you use enough force(intensity) to drive a nail FLUSH into the wood(muscle), repeated striking will only damage the wood.....if you cant get your stimulation in 9-12 sets..you really neeed to increase intensity.


Make sense?


More IS NOT better..



I saw Ronnie's delt routine in Flex.....


24 sets


My question is:


Is Mr O is doing less volume than you while on(rumor, and it seems reasonable to me) 15,000 mg androgens PER week.....



give me ONE reason why you should be doing more???
