Help on shoulders and chest - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Da Goon · 15-12-2007, 06:01 PM

Everything else seems to be getting stronger apart from my shoulders and chest. Chest is getting stronger slowly though but still flabby.

My training is:
Saturday:
Bench (or incline) Press - 3 sets (10, 8, 6, 6)
Flyes (flat or incline) - 3 sets (6-8)
Shoulder press (front on smith machine) 3 sets (6-8)
Behind the back cable laterals 3 sets (6-8)
Lying tricep extension 3 sets (6-8)

Shoulder strength is up and down :lift:, is this due to adding additional weight to the bench at the start..Difficult to judge whether I am making progress on shoulders at all. Any help would be appreciated. Ta

If you've hit a plateau then
1) Overtraining may be the cause
2) Change exercises
3) Chnage rep range
