SHoulder help

[Fit Freak]

I need some help building strenght in my shoulders - they seem to be my weakest point

With upper body, I can train my back, chest, biceps and tricpes pretty hard (well they seem hard for me - using fairly heavy weights), but with shoulders I keep trying to increase to make them stonger but it just aint happening.

Can anyone post a shoulder routine i could follow to make them stronger? Thanks

Standing Military Press or Clean and Press are great compounds. Upright rows are a great finshing. Laterals also good for finshing I rarely do them as I have rotator issues and they make them worse. I suggest heavy hard work on a compound 1-2 warm up sets 6-8 reps and 3-5 work sets 5-8 reps. Then do 1-2 isolation lifts 3 sets 8-12 reps don't go as heavy as your compound lifts but isolation work should still be difficult.

Did you injure your shoulder at any point?.... I tore my rotater cuff from pitching and the only way I got it back to almost 100% was using HGH which works wonders.

I have some advice for you. Try doing your dumbell side laterals first in your shoulder routine. Also try doing them one arm at a time. I have worked up to 60's for 8 reps this way, and I never thought I'd get there. When you do them one arm at a time, use your free hand to hold on to something to steady yourself. After you get used to the movement you can put your free hand on your hip. Work on increasing your poundage every workout. After laterals, go to Smith Machine military press/machine military. Finish your workout with barbell shrugs. If you work hard on those three basics, in that order, you will get good results.

The best advice I can give on any shoulder routine is to not go too heavy. There are so many easy ways to screw up your shoulders and you don't need to lift heavy -- mostly you need to have TIGHT, PERFECT FORM.

I'm just throwing this in because sometimes when you are doing shoulders, you feel like you should be able to lift more because you can lift heavy on the other parts of your body. If you feel that urge, watch how tight your form is when you are doing the weight you are comfortable with. If it isn't perfectly tight, then don't go up in weight.
