Why just muscle to your shoulders? Well, to gain muscle anywhere, you need to get 3 things sorted, diet, training and rest. So for diet you need to eat good quality food, 1g of protein/lb body weight, complex carbs and good fats.
Training for shoulders should be pressing movements such as either barbell or dumbell presses - these are the main lifts you should concentrate on 3 sets 8-12 reps.....you could also add upright rows, front raises, lateral raise and rear raises.
rest is just as important to grow - so hit your shoulders (and each other muscle group) about once a week only
If I were you I'd post a more detailed post of your exact goals in the appropriate sections......gaining weight, training section.....

Im working the whole of my body, it just my shoulders look realy out of place. small and narrow.

DB · 26-10-2005, 11:55 AM

eat lots...and do some heavy military presses!

crazycacti · 26-10-2005, 11:56 AM

all i do for shoulders is 2 work sets of one of the following each week:

standing military press
seated BB press
seated DB press

Best exercise is the one at the top for sure imo

It would still be a good idea to post your diet and training in the appropriate sections.......If you are just doing a load of isolation movements and are neglecting the big lifts you won't put on the mass......
I forgot to say, welcome to the board......
