Help on my shoulder workout

[WarriorPL]

Alright i'm getting really annoyed at my shoulder workout.

Tell me if you guys see something off...
Seated DB Presses:
warmup 45sx15
60x10
60x10
75x8
75x6
80x0 (couldn't even get it off my shoulders)

Last week same deal... 75s are easy... and 80s can't go up.. but two weeks ago Para helped me get the 80s up and i got 6 no prob.

Now.. what must i strengthen to get those weights up? They just lie dead on my shoulders. 75s go up, 80s can't.. errr.

Thanks!

Any reason why you do 60 twice for 10 and then 75 twice for 8 then 6??? I think ur just tired when u get to 80lbs. If I were you i would warm up properly by finishing ur warm up with the 45's or 50lb dumbells and then do pyramiding....70lb, 75lb, 80lb and the reps would be 10, 8, 6. If anything I guarantee you will bust out some solid reps with the 80's this way. Good luck

IMO, you do too many sets before the 80s.

I agree, seems like too much work in the early sets. Cutting out some of that volume should help. You might also try the 80s as your first work set, when you're fresh (but warmed up), if you're down with reverse pyramiding. If you had a pair of power hooks, you could start with the dumbells up near a position of full extension. Other than that, go back to military press for a while and get stronger there.

What does the rest of your Delt routine look like? You might not be emphesizing the other two reigons adequately enough to stabilize the weights the front delts are able to currently handle. Are you training all 3 Delt heads equally? You will always be giving more emphesis to the front delt, being that there are so many other exercises where that muscle is included, but during a delt routine, I feel that equal amounts of sets & intensity should be given to each head. That might be your problem, but I couldn't say for sure, or even at all without taking a peek at your entire delt routine.

switch to a lighter weight and drastically slow down the tempo for a week.

also

I think you should be using a barbell sometimes

seated DB military presses
barbell press to the front
upright rows
lateral raises
seated rear lateral raises
shrugs

PH... i really don't want to risk injuring my rotator again... behind the neck barbell is out of the question.

You do 6 lifts for you shoulders? Well 5 not counting shrugs. Why?
