Shoulders!!!

I would like to try a new workout tonight. it's my shoulders day tonight so I want a nice workout from a guy that knows his s%$t. Train morning and night. Did my legs this morning before work for about 35- 40min, gym was nice and empty. But I want those massive deltoids. So any program for mass in my shoulders would work. Please and thanks.

Pushups
Serratus Shrgs
Overhead Barbell shrug
Barbell push press
dumbbell bench
inverted shoulder press
decline hammer curls
underhand inverted rows

Train to failure ....

PS* No ability to wank if and when successfully completed :lol:

Great program! hahahaha, talking from Experience Oupa?

So over complicated in my opinion.

Some form of press, barbell or dumbbell

Lateral dumbbell raises
Posterior delt flys
Front raises
Cables for posterior delt

Shrugs.

What's your guys' take on rolling your shoulders while doing shrugs?
I've always thought that rolling them doesn't really help as much as rows would... plus I wouldn't think the shoulder joint was meant to bear a load while rotating like that?

Yes... on the roll backwards you will be contracting some muscles in your upper back, but mechanically speaking the weight wouldn't be adding much resistance would it? Would it not be better to do straight up and down shrugs. Then do so rows and such to hit the other muscles?

I agree with Chapel there, Simple yet effective.

I was told never to roll your shoulders when doing shrugs. The biokeneticist at my school nearly had a heart attack whenever he saw someone rolling their shoulders so probably not the best idea.

I would also say dont do to many press movement's, 1 is enough and why I say that is with alll the pressing u do with
chest and now shoulders u bond to pick up a shoulder injurey like I did from over working the front delt.

Rolling your shoulders does nothing but book you a ticket to the physio.. :lol:

90% of the guys at my gym roll their shoulders. I don't know what memo they got but I cringe every time I see them doing it. Same story for leaning way far back at the top of deadlifts.

Good vids!

Agreed. Great vids. Will try those backward shrugs...certainly looks like they working.

Thanks guys. I did chapels and monday I will do Oupa's. Thanks guys. Shoulders, chest and sqauts are workouts I look forward to.
