Killer Shoulder Routein?

[Taleigh21]

Does anyone have a favorite shoulder workout that they would kindly share with me? Im big into training shoulders because I am really broad, so I must work with what god gave me

Anywho..I am looking to pump up my regular shoulder workout which basicly sucks because I feel nothing the next day..obviously been doing the same motions for far too long.

Care to share any?

Well, shoulders are not easy to get sore...unfortunately. It's my favorite thing to train as well, and I bang the piss out of them...and RARELY feel anything the next day. The main reason is that we use our shoulders in almost every movement of our arms every day. We use them when we work arms, chest, back and obviously shoulders...So, when you wrok them that often; secondary or not, it's difficult to get them really sore every time. Take your chest for instance, you don't use a lot of chest muscles day in and day out.

My rule of thumb for shoulders is: 3 sets for each movement. 1 Compound (ie., shoulder press), 1 Side (side raises), 1 rear (rear flyes)

I do shoulder press, single arm diagonal raises (burns like hell) and then lateral raises or anterior raises to finish off.

Thanks Red, that is exactly what I go by also. I just feel that they should "burn" like the rest of my muscles the next day--which they rarely do. But I see your point, I guess that being sore doesnt mean you got a better workout than not being sore at all.

Have you tried Arnolds? When I incorporated those, I started to feel it again in my shoulders. Also when I switch up I superset shoulder press and lat raises.

barbel military press is good when you do 6-8 reps 2 forced reps then go negatives and drop set whit 2 drops doing all that on every drop .... then you got your self a BURN....

My last routine was this (give or take)

Military press
shrugs
upright rows
forward lat. raises
side lat. raises.
rear delt. flys

3 sets of each

Also, I give shoulders their own day instead of trying to work them in with something else. When I do that, they always seem to respond better.

my current shoulder routine

Clean and press 5x1 increase weight each set
Arnold press 3x8
Front barbell raises 3x10
seated lateral raises 3x10
bent over lateral raises 3x10
Somtimes I do cables for raises if I do I usually super set them.
Then I burn out with plate raises starting with 45s and drop to 35s, 25s, 10s By then my shoulders are in pain
