lagging shoulders!

kevtheraise Posts: 42 Joined: 2001/04/07	2001/06/03, 08:49 AM I seem to be playing constant catch up with my front and side delts! What's worse is that my tri's grow really quick and make my shoulders look even smaller! Any advice guys?

Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2001/06/03, 07:38 PM Hey kev, ft has a special program which target 'wider shoulders'. Otherwise I would myself suggest: Side Laterals (try standing, seated, and one-arm variatons) Behind-the-neck presses Seated Dumbell presses Good Luck! .o0 Arnold 0o.

archan Posts: 135 Joined: 2001/04/14	2001/06/04, 03:32 AM Do heavy training for your shoulders.The second last set should be the heaviest with 1 rep and the last one with the initial weight and initial repitations.
Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2001/06/04, 09:26 AM I don't agree with 1 rep for shoulders. The muscle is too small to make any gains from that. 1 rep sets should be applied to larger muscle groups only such as legs, chest and back. If you do attempt a 1 rep set then be sure to be properly warmed-up and to have a spotter. .o0 Arnold 0o.

BillK Posts: 361 Joined: 2000/12/26	2001/06/09, 10:59 AM Right one, TT_Rocker. It takes time. So many people want perfection but yet don't want to work to get it. Not Flaming, excuss me if it sounded that way. But it really does take time and hard (proper) work. If you want you have to do it. If you don't you will never achieve it. ~billk~
