Guys(and Gals), I have been hitting the gym pretty regular now, I would say for the last 6 to 9 months. I am pretty happy with the progress that I am making, but I feel like my arms are growing more than my Shoulders. It is not that they are huge, but I think if I keep going the way I am going, my arms will not be proportionate to my shoulders.

I am not sure what I should do. I am thinking about cutting back on my Bi's and Tri's but I am not sure if I should do that. This is my current weight routine:

Monday:
Back, Bi's, and Tri's.
I do 4 different excesses and 3 sets of 10 to 12 per exercise. I vary the exercises every workout.

Wed:
Chest and Shoulders.
I do 4 different excesses and 3 sets of 10 to 12 per exercise. I vary the exercises every workout.

Friday:
Back, Bi's, and Tri's.
I do 4 different excesses and 3 sets of 10 to 12 per exercise. I vary the exercises every workout.

Sunday:
Legs and Abbs


Which ever exercises I do on Wednesdays I will do on Monday and Friday of the next week. And what ever I do on Mondays and Fridays, I do on Wed the next week. I usually stick wit legs and abbs on Sundays.

The only think that I can think of doing is breaking up my chest and shoulders. Could I be just over training them on that night? Any feed back would be great.

Thanks

exactly what exercises are you doing for shoulders?


------------------
train hard!

Try not doing your arms so much. Your working them way to much. Your doing them two days plus your using them in other exercises. Try: Day 1. Chest, Bis
Day 2. Legs
Day 3. Shoulders, Tris
Day 4. Back, Traps

Try some Arnold presses (I love them!) The work good. Super set your side raises with your front raises. Super set your upright rows with your shrugs. Don't forget your rear delts. OH YEA! Do it heavy low reps for a while then shock'em with some high reps.

If you need to bring up your shoulders then prioritize them.Do them first in the week and first in your exercises.

Making a periodizes program around your shoulders will help.

train smart not hard

I find I can't get as good of a workout on my shoulders if I do them on chest day, they're just to fried after chest.

I do them on leg day, they're fresh and begging to be thrashed and burned.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I actually worked my Shoulders and tri's thius morning, and i felt like i got a great work out for my shoulders. They felt fresh and strong and i was able to use a little more weight. Definatly a noticable difference. I am going to give TripleP's routine and see what that does for me.

Well as far as my shoulders routine goes. Here are the exercises that I do. I will only do 3 of the following per workout. I like a variety of things, keeps it interesting.

 Dumb Bell Military press
 Seated 1-armed overhead dumbbell extensions.
 Skull crushers with an e-z-curl bar.
 Standing cable pushdowns with either a straight bar or a rope.
 Kick backs. ( I really hate these.)
 One arm cable pull downs. ( palms facing me.)
 Use the hammer strength machine that simulate cable rows, but I put the seat low, and keep my elbows out when doing reps. (works the rear delt)
 I use the rope, and do kneeling rows from the high pully. When doing these I keep by elbows up. (works the rear delt too)

When I do any of these I do three sets with 10 to 12 reps per set.

I was going to say the same thing as mac! Anytime you have a lagging muscle, you need to do that muscle first when it's the freshest.
