Shoulders

Shoulders

Nothing you're doing there is really actively targeting your shoulders. You can do so many different things to hit shoulders: dumbbell shoulder presses, barbell overhead presses, cleans, rear delt flyes, lat raises, front raises, behind the neck presses and even handstand push ups against a wall.

If you have to prioritize a few exercises, I would prioritize barbell overhead presses or Dumbbells Shoulder presses. Secondary priorities would be lat raises and rear delt flyes. Personally, I prefer dumbbells for shoulders, but I'm sure some guys here have seen great shoulder growth off of heavy barbell compound movements. Do both if you can.

I find that big rear delts give the impression of bigger shoulders because they give you that 3D look. It's the difference between a guy who looks skinny but has wide shoulders and a V taper and a guy who has a full-looking, powerful upper body.

There are so many ways to approach shoulders, but you have to train them directly or they don't really grow. in my experience.

I tend to do curl and presses (old school strong man shoulder builder), dumbbell presses, behind the neck presses and sometimes even clean and presses to really blow up my shoulders. I'm not as wide as I want to be, but as of a year ago I've put on some appreciable shoulder mass according to friends and family.

I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.
