Shoulders

[justaskme]

I've always been a powerlifter and now I'm trying to become a bodybuilder. I'm having trouble in some areas, like shoulders. I think my front head is too big. Advise Please!

If you need know my work:
Monday-Chest & Abs
Tuesday-Back
Wednesday-off
Thursday-Legs
Friday-Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps
Saturday-Off
Sunday-Off

Shoulder workout:
Military Press 6 sets of 6-10 reps
Up-right Row 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Lateral Raises 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Reverse Flyes 3 sets of 8-12 reps

Thx!

Well, I think that the military press hits the anterior (front) delt more than the others by a long shot. If you have a huge difference in size, just work out the medial and the posterior up for maybe 2 weeks and then bring in the military press.

or,

instead of regulart mil press, you could do "arnold presses" which I was told hits the entire muscle. I could be wrong on this one easily though.

try Incline supine dumbbell front raise or standing barbell front raise. I try to do
Side incline lateral raises or behind the back low pulley lateral raise and rear lateral raises. Always do the lateral raises along with rear laterals because that's the only way to get perfectly developed shoulders (all round). Definately avoid overhead presses for awhile too.

rows will help too

Another powerlifter lost. I could cry!

Smile! I'll still do both, just not as much powerlifting.

just start working your rear delts more. heavy rows, and rear delt work with dbells. piss on side delts, they get enough work, you just have over developed front delts from PL'ing. build up your rear delts and you'll have plenty cannonballs....

I have a very similar shoulder workout that has done wonders, this has allowed for my side and rear delts to catch up with my fronts:

military (bb): usually sets of 10 as high as i can go...roughly 4-5 sets of 10
lateral raises: 4 sets of 10, 1st set: singles w/20lb db, 2nd set doubles w/ 20lbs, 3rd set singles with 25lb db, 4th set with 25lb db
rear delts: 3-4 sets of 10
upright rows: 3-4 sets of 10
shrugs: 3-4 sets of 10.
