Delts

[Womanizer]

What are some really effective Delt/shoulder workouts?

A common yet effective routine is:

Seated Press 12,10,8,6
Upright rows 12,12,12,
Lateral Raises 12,12,12
Rear Laterals 12,12,12
Barbell Shrugs 12,12,12

Thats the main and basic idea. Some people like to use Dumbells for their primary exercise. I personally think every shoulder workout should have Lateral raises and Upright rows.

I like to do heavy presses then just burn the hell out of em:

3x db presses
3x upright rows/side raises
3x reverse flys/front raises
3x shrugs

2nd and 3rd exercises are suppersetted with each other.

High volume (most sets too failure)on the flat and incline benches have brought up my front delts alot. I was training flat bench and some extras on thursday (all chest), and then inclines and shoulders on sunday. For direct shoulder work Ive been doing mostly side laterals since Id get 40 or more sets of chest work completed in a week (10 of those sets are speed bench). That hits my front delts very hard. Ill do around 12 sets of dumbbell laterals. I like to do these in dropset fashion. That way I get 4-5 sets done without any rest, in one clip. Ive gone over 60 straight reps this way and the burn may be too intense for some. I like it, but eventually I cant raise my arms anymore, even if Id like to do more reps. All out failure. Then rest some minutes and go at it again. Ill start anywhere from 60+lbs to 45lbs and work down from there. Then I might do a few seperate sets of heavy laterals to break 12 sets even. Rear delts I was training once or twice a week. Id usually do about 4-6 sets of those. Going heavy on the reverse fly machine, which I can rack at 300lbs for pretty high reps. My rear delts never got the size Id like though. This is a shoulder shot from my last set of posing pics. Arms are 1/2 and inch bigger now, and delts have probabally increased some too. Arms were 18.25" in this pic:

KILL THAT SHIT!!
