delts causing shoulders problems

[Kyo Rio]

Hi guys I have been lifting heavy for the last two years and my delts are getting very muscular and too strong to the point of pulling my shoulders forward did anyone here ever went through the same and how did you fix the problem?

Do you train your shoulders as a whole? Make sure you train rear delts also.

Pec pull the shoulders forward - not the delts. But training upper back and rear delts will balance it out.

You just need to train the opposite muscles in order to balance things out.

upper back needs to be hit.. you are developing an imbalance.. i actually am impressed you realize this

most guys have imbalances and don't even notice or care. you see guys walk around the gym looking like roosters with their chests all puffed out. they can bench 400 pounds but can't even curl the bar

Google 'face pulls' as a starting exercise.

Most guys have over developed shoulders and pecks and underdeveloped rear deltoids and upper traps.

Start making upper traps and read deltoids a priority in your workout program and everything should balance out.

One of the best exercises to use is the rope face pull -

Great suggestions above. You really need to make sure your body stays balanced. A typical imbalance I see is calves vs the front of the leg. That can really hurt you when it comes to running.
