Post your shoulder workout

[jokerswild]

I can get everybody part of mine good and sore after a workout except for shoulders and it shows because my delts are lagging behind my other parts. I usually do:

Shoulder press 4x8
lateral raises 4x8
shrugs 4x10
upright rows 4x10

any suggestions??

 

[Kabeetz]

Standing shoulder press, standing dumbell press, barbell push press, dumbell push press, behind the neck push press, power shrugs (heavy enough that u cant get past the 4-6 rep range) (if u want to count shrugging as a "shoulder" movement) and of course....


gaping, bloody menstrual cycle vag side lateral raises.

I do handstand push ups on top of two basketballs (I prefer the basketballs with chalk on them for better grip), and I do about 10 reps. The balance and concentration will get you're delts ripped and swole. Then after I'm done with that I palm the basketballs in each hand and do some quick side laterals with them to "shock" the delts to get them even more bigger. I get such a wicked pump from doing this, even though my shot will be off come pick-up game time.

Seated DB press warm-up
Hang clean and push presses
Lateral plate raises or on the cables
upright rows

 

[jokerswild]

That was a listing of imo the best shoulder movements, not all done the same workout.

A push press is a standing press, but your knees bend slightly giving you extra force in propelling the weight upwards, allowing you to lift more weight and also involve more of your body in the lift as you're generating power from the legs all the way up through to the hands when done correctly.

Arnold Press is a usually seated movement, like the seated dumbell press, but your palms face in at the bottom of the movement and you turn your wrists as you lift so that palms are facing out at the top of the rep, and then back at the bottom. Popularized By the terminator himself.

any kind of press and dips basically work your delts adequately... yes, inclines do put more emphasis on shoulders. i do inclines ocasionally as a replacement for flat bench.

Inclines emphasize the clavicular pecs, and add more emphasis to the anterior delt than a standard bench press.

Does your word processor automatically convert the work 'as' to 'Anabolic Steroids' ?

lol

The word "a-s" is now anabolic steroids in all posts.
