What to do for shoulders?!?!?!?

[mm107]

Thanks Nate! I did move to pressing in front of my face on military. Also, I haven't done a behind the neck press in forever.

True - I definately keep my elbows out to the side. If I look in the mirror - mine are a perfect L shape, and probably 'perfectly' stressing my shoulders too. I'll try the 'tuck' you speak of on the elbows this week. Thanks!

i was pressing not the militayr press, but on machine (we incorporate the machine so i could put bands on it)

My boy walks by and yells that im wasting my time not "tucking" my bows. I starting tucking them, and man it was a huge difference.

You can't go wrong with heavy upright rows (the squat of shoulder exercises). Make sure to have wide grip and a belt to help cheat a few more reps out after failure.

i have 2 injured shoulders (2 torn labrums from powerlifitng when i was younger)....what i do to get the most out of them are 30 second rests btwn sets....

all 3 sets 12-15 reps each 1-2 negatives at the end of each set i work my shoulders once a week

reverse pec deck
one arm side laterals
dumbell presses or hammer strength
upright rows
shrugs

i honestly can't move my shoulders at the end of the workout....i would try it

just curious what that has to do with shoulder growth?

power cleans and press...i would say i work the shoulder girdle as opposed to just shoulders and I dont have a 'shoulder day' but cleans and presses (along with flat and incline bench) are all I've done and I've seen more growth then ever...

agreed. cleans and push presses are all i do and my shoulders/shoulder girdle is thick as ever, quicker then anything else has grown before.

Eh, I'm just gonna' throw out there the obvious -- are you gaining bodyweight period? If not, don't expect the shoulders to start growing. You've gotta' eat enough to see some growth, then your training kicks in and makes sure those cals go to muscle-building (shoulders in your case).

Absolutely fucking nothing.

What do I win?

i train heavy pressing once a week, then some higher volume/intensity (BBing type) once a week, for delts... its coming along nicely

on the heavy day, 1 lift, seated military (currently) ill use bands, standing etc. every so often. between 3x3-5x5, adding weight each week

then after that, heavy triceps, skulls, dips, pullovers (multi reasons)

Yes I have been gaining weight and muscle everywhere else. Have gained about 20lbs

Get stronger in a hypertrophy friendly rep range. Huzzah, not that hard.
