Thread: What is your shoulder workout?

db military press 4sets

Train Movements Not Body parts. Read stickies. Shoulder Gets worked in almost every pushing/pulling movement exercises, and I don't do any isolation for them.

I just do overhead pressing variations and a little isolation rotator cuff and rear delt work for good measure.

OH Press, Bench Rows, + Bench Press are my main ones, but like Mike said - they get worked in pretty much all pushing movements, and a lot of pulling ones too.

My favorite routine:

Cable side laterals for 3 sets of 12-15
DB overhead presses for 3-4 sets of 8-12
DB side laterals for 3 sets of 10
DB rear laterals for 3-4 sets of 12-15
DB shrugs for 4 sets of 15

My current routine:

Chest workout(hits front delts)
Machine side laterals for 4 sets of 10-15
Reverse pec-dec flyes for 4 sets of 12-15

I like it. Plus they do make a difference... Besides I can't Mike. I've decided to go easy on the joints. I've got plenty of size and strength. My workouts will get me to my goal...

Who told you that isolation and machines are easier on the joints?

Good first post...

For me, other than dips/benching etc just standing overhead presses, and push presses... No need for rear delt flys, lat raises etc in my opinion.

Standing dumbell presses 5 sets 8-12 reps

Superset 3 sets
Upright Barbell Rows 6-10 reps
Dumbell Shrugs 8-15 reps

Done Every 4th day.

Upright rows
Shrugs
Bench presses for me
