Need Shoulder help!

Lil Guy · 04-29-2004, 07:21 PM

Hi,

I'm 17 years old, 160 lbs. I have been going to the gym for 3 months now and I am on a 4 day routine. I am seeing improvments in everything except shoulders and I am going to post my shoulder routine to see if I could make improvments:

military press sitting
dumbell shoulder press
front raises w/ dumbell
shrugs

I do 3 sets of each of these and my reps usually go 10/8/5.

I try to take in alot of protein (1 gram per lb). I currently take whey protein shake and a multi-vitamin. I do eat a lot and healthy so I dont think that my nutrition is the problem.

Thanks in advance
Brian

You need more exercises that hit up your lateral and posterior deltiod. All of those lifts focus primarly on your anterior deltoid. As well, shrugs don't do too much for your shoulders. Try the following exercises:

Upright rows
Lateral raises

Perpindicular rows
Lying rear lateral raise

For a different anterior deltiod lift try arnold presses.
