I need some awesome shoulder building exercises. I want mass, my shoulders are way too small and way too weak for the rest of my body. Can anyone give me a wicked shoulder workout for tomorrow? Also, I Have a bit of a shoulder uncomfortability when i do shoulders, and i think thats mostly beacuse i have weak shoulders and i try to do too heavy weight. Would love to hear imput please =))

I happen to do shoulders today, thursday, so I guess I'll just say what I did. You might not want to do this depending on experience but I did dumbbell press, side raises, front raises and shrugs. With one warm up and 4 full sets but I'd like to add reverse flys is and drop to 3 sets each. Don't worry about putting up a lot of weight doing presses, you'll probably get more mass doing the raises and you have to use very light weights to do these exercises properly.

    Honestly: I'd feel like giving you Hardcore shoulder workout for tomorrow, just to show I can. My guess is that you would just end up breaking down. But since i'm nice person I am not gona give one to you. Not without knowing your experience level first.

    Using too much weight to start with will only slow you down. If you feel you have weak shoulders, start off with a little weight, and make sure you can do at least 3x8 reps in proper form, watch scoobys videos so that you know what you are doing. And also if you get pain from any specific exercises don't do them! While feeling sore after a good shoulder workout is fine; having pain while actually doing the exercise can cause a major injury, so be careful!

    Good Luck!  Wink

    Relax. It takes time. Shoulders are small muscles.  Smiley
    From my personal experience, no need to isolate them. Military press, upright rows, incline bench press and face-pulls are what you actually need.
    Well, if you are advanced you may isolate them, but if you were you wouldn't have asked  Smiley

    I do agree with 1rs about the muscle. Since you tend to use them for all workouts and pretty much whever you use your arms for anything. Heavy military presses and regular flat bench/incline bench press and some face-pulls or rear delt rows to mold your rear-delts. Are pretty much all that is required. Pretty much all bodyweight moves that require shoulders.

    Also you can give more attention to your shoulders by doing just shoulder exercise per workout day. For example for 3 days:
    DAY1: Military press.
    DAY 2 Bench press/incline bench & some upright rows after them.
    Day 3: Reverse flies, face-pulls or rear delt rows.

    (Marked those that aren't truly shoulder moves with bold)

    Despite what you have on those days, you can move likely larger weights and benefit more on your shoulder size without risk off: Overworking shoulders, causing joint tears or inflamation, affecting your other move performance.

    Those are my few chosen thoughts about shoulders.
