Shoulders

[jwoody]

I was just wondering what exercises, and how many sets you guys do for shoulders, including traps. Right now I do barbell shrugs,infront and behind, shoulder press, side latterals, and reverse flies on a machine. Just curious to see what everyone else does. Anything I should add or drop?


Thanks

i do 3 sets of each with a rep range of 6-10 reps

front military
side lateral raises
dumbell presses
bent over (rear) lateral raises

for shruge i do 4 sets of bb shurgs or db shrugs. Works good for me.

bb or db presses first
then front db or bb or machine or cable raises
then side db or machine or cable raises
then rear db or machineor cable raises
sometimes I throw in upright rows

I like to do 2 sets (that count) at each exercise
1 heavy for 2-6 reps (2-0-1 tempo)
1 mod heavy for 6-10 reps (6-2-4 tempo)
sometimes substitute 1 light for 12-15 reps (4-2-2 tempo)

Hope this helps

I usually do either one set of side laterals or 1 set of Shoulder presses with a smith machine. But I think for this summer I will have to focus more on them. I will probably drop my tricep workout to every other one and really hit them hard with the smith machine and laterals with some intensity variables thrown in.

when i work my front and side parts of the shoulder i like to superset front db raises and lat raises

when i go heavy i usually do the standing upright rows and rocky press

[Stonecold54]

oh god...is that the movement where he does a front press into a back press? the rocky? We had aguy who thought we WAS rocky...used to do that all the time in the gym.
