Question...
Ok, my routine is basically set up like this:
Mon - Push flat bench incline bench dips overhead press tricep cable pulldowns (don't know if that's what they are called) one arm cable pulldwons (") Wed - Pull pulldowns cable rows a row machine upright rows bb shrugs 1 - 2 diff bicep excercises fri - legs squat leg press leg extension calve raises sometimes deadlift. Anyway, here's my predicament. On my push day, by time I'm done with my chest movements (bench, incline, dips) my anterior delts are shot. I can't figure out how to strengthen my shoulders. I do overhead presses afterwards and occasionally do diff types of raises, but damn are my delts burnt out. And not too mention they are sore as hell for the next 4 or 5 days. I am wondering if it has something to do with my form, while benchpressing, or do you think my delts are just lagging? I've made good gains in all of my excercises except overhead pressing. I have been overhead pressing the same weight for the last 6 months or so and it's really starting to piss me off. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do? |

If I were to guess based on the fact that I haven't been in the gym for 6 months:

decrese the amount of chest pressing you are doing. Drop the inclines or the dips (one of them). Overhead press first in your routine.

I cut out the dips and wow what a difference. My delts only felt a little fatigued and I did so much more weight when overhead pressing.

Just prioritize the overhead presses. Alternate which plane of motion you emphasize. Everyone likes to start with the bench press because you can use more weight, but I disagree with that logic.
