shoulders?

[brent_167]

Is 9 sets good for shoulders?

3 sets dumbell press and 1 light warm up set
3 sets lateral raise
3 sets bent-over laterals

Cool, but me: I do a whole lot more warmups before I get into the working sets, especially for shoulders.

Not bad, but try Standing Over-Head Press (bb) as your main delt exercise.

My shoulder rountine is very basic, but really gets me sore and powerful, fast:

Push presses: 3-4 sets of 4-10 reps
Cheat dumbel laterals: 1 set of 6-10

That's all!

BOOEY and I agree!

try power shrugs out in there

I'm with the compound exercise group. Warmups are especially important for shoulders and neck. A pinched nerve, tear or pull in the area will wreak havoc with your daily activities.

yes, i agree with these guys. warmup with atleast 2-3 sets on a mil press or regular press to start it out. do some giants 2-3working sets, followed by a few sets of heavy shrugs, and a set or 2 of side cable laterals or whatever they're called.

ya a do a decent warmup for my rotator cuff and shoulders cause i am scared of hurting them

external rotations - 15 reps for each arm
internal rotaions - 12 reps for each arm
shoulder horn exercises - 2 sets 15 reps
shoulder rotations and stretches

I'm in total agreement - standing ohp for the delts.....and don't forget power shrugs. Deadlifts are really good for traps, as well.
