Deltoid Development Help

[KBEKQT]

Ok, so my genetics suck when it comes to my shoulders...I have been working my ass off for the past year trying to cap the damn things and I just don't feel I am getting the results I am looking for...

My anteriors look great! I'm not even lean and the definition is there, but the median and posterior are lagging behind.

I typically work my shoulders alone, with no other body parts except abs.

Last night's workout:

DB Press (1) 25#x12, (3) 30#x8
Military press (3) 55x10
Bent over lats. (3) 15x10
Reverse Pek Dek (3) 40x8
s/s uprite rows (3) 50x8/front raise (3) 15x8/reverse grip front raise (3) 7x12

I get a great pump, my shoulders get nice and puffy post w/o but it's gone when I wake up the next day.

Any insight?

Are you switching the reps up, TUT up, exercises up, supersetting?
You could add in side raises.

Yeah, I normally don't do the same workout more than 2-3 weeks in row. I trie to use different exercises, cable and other machines to switch it up.

My family's genetic is to have legs and butts, but small narrow shoulders...I have to say that my shoulders have improved 100% from before I started working out 4 years ago, but I still can't cap the suckers!

Trelin, what's TUT?

there's a great shoulder workout in oxygen this month with Elaine Goodlad. Dumbells. I tried it out the other day and my shoulders are pretty sore. some different moves that I've never tried.

btw she has AWESOME shoulders and - i'm sure - awesome genetics. The girl is stacked.

I saw it last night and had to buy it, I also bought their special hams and glutes magazine too...Thank God for Oxygen...

I glanced through last night, but am glad to get feedback from someone who tried it! I'll give it a shot for my next workout, thanks Shorty

I actually met Elaine last year and she is the coolest chick ever, so nice! and just buuuutiful!

I have em' both, too. Elain Goodlad is one of my favorites. I love how she keeps a balance between big muscles and femininity. She proves that you can have both.

Her workout is a good one - I did 4 sets of each exercise with minimal rest. I especially liked her "giant set". I did 4 of those and my shoulder were BURNING.

I totally agree, she is buff and stays ladylike, awsome and her husband is an amazing photographer. When I grow up...uhm...out, I'd love to do a shoot with him!

The glute special has great moves in it, I love doing cable kick backs, and they added a bunch of variety to the standard kickback...love it!

I'll keep u posted on the shoulder workout...that giant set did look interesting...

Trelin, what's TUT?

An old post from Shadow & his take on it ...
http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=365802

Basically you monitor the time a muscle is "under tension" during an exercise.

An example often used is:

4 . . . 1 . . . 2

Think of a Biceps curl - the weight is lowered for 4 seconds, paused for 1 on the extension, and finally lifted over a duration of 2 seconds.

For me, when I incorporated TUT in the start of my training it slowed down my workouts (not in a bad way) but I wasn't rushing thru the reps & learned how to better my technique & form, while eliminating cheating. Sometimes made me work harder, give me a better 'burn' and also annoyed me if I can to stare at a clock ...
