... but i guess adding size it what about 90% of us on this forum want?
..anyway, at the moment i'm training my shoulders once a week with this routine.
After a mobility warm up and some stretches, this is what i've been doing for the last four or six weeks - i don't keep a record of my workouts:
Seated dumbbell press 25kg x (8 reps x 3 sets)
Barbell upright rows 50kg x ( 8 reps x 3 sets) upto the top of my chest.
Dumbbell laterial raises 14kg ( 8 reps x 3 sets)
Dumbell shoulder shruggs 30kg (10 reps x 3 sets) stretching down, squeezing at the top for a second.
.... the thing is.... i have heard that upright rows aren't particually good for your shoulders... but i like them and i get a good pump from them.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the D/B laterial raises - these are the ones that irritate my shoulders - and replacing them with seated barbell military press.
One exercise i might have ago at is the 'Arnold press' - a seated D/B press, but you start with the D/B's in front of the shoulders, palms facing in, press the D/B's up while rotating the D/B's until the palms are facing out/forward.
Anyone got any other exercises or recommendations??
