Thread: shoulder help?

well today i was doing some seated military press and my left shoulder kept
giving out after like 3 reps. I'm gettin pissed as hell so i tried changing up the
form a bit and still the same thing. Shoulders have always been my weak point
but this shit sucks.

Hey Joesmooth20;

BiggerNstronger is right. If the MP's bother you that much, don't do them. I've posted these shoulder exercises before and they're set up to broaden your shoulders.

I’ve always had difficulty broadening my shoulders. I read about some shoulder exercises on another link some time ago that really worked wonders for me. These are LATERAL RAISES with variations. There called Lying Lateral Raises all of which are performed lying on your side with one hand supporting your head so it looks like your in an incline position and your legs in a folded position. You do 3 sets, 8-10 reps for each side the only difference is the position of the dumbbell which hits the delts and tie-in from different angles.

Lying Lateral DB on Leg: With a thumbs down grip, raise the DB slowly as high as you can and slowly lower the DB back to the staring position. (Hits the medial delts).

Lying Lateral DB behind the Knee: Same as above. (Hits medial-rear delt tie-in).

Lying Lateral DB behind your Back: Same as above.(Hits medial-rear delt tie-in).

Lying Lateral DB in front of Thigh: Same as above. (Hits Some anterior-medial-rear delt die-in).

Incorporate these 4 exercises into your normal shoulder routine (which should also include some trap work) for about a month and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Peace
