shoulder help recommendations

[rafcke38]

my shoulders are looking lean compared to my chest
I was wondering what I was doing wrong
I’m doing 5 sets flat bench, 4 sets incline, and 2 sets military on chest/shoulder day
why aren’t my shoulders growing? Should I start doing flies?

no stop hammering your shoulders so much

you don't make them grow by overtraining them, you make them injured !

go slower on shoulders lower weights and more reps

 

[JasonPriest]

military presses are okay if you go light only

i don't allow my clients to do them heavy

Lean as in lower fat. No. Not big enough. Lift heavier

Reduce weight, but do more reps, pay attention to quality of each rep

You protect your shoulders by avoiding lifts where you are pushing over top your head. I do a lot of Lateral raises, front raises, and rear delt fly's to see my shoulders grow. Another thing is working shoulders after you have done shrugs for traps. If your traps are already tired your less likely to use them as you are trying to force weights up in a lateral raise. Also big traps tend to compliment and push those shoulder caps out. Probably just an optical thing, but my shoulder caps seem to bulge the closer my traps get to my ears.

Train smart you dont want any injuries!

You really have to be careful with shoulders to avoid injury. I wouldn't increase your workload since shoulders are hit on many other exercises. Make sure you are eating enough for growth too.
