Building them shoulders - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

After some advice on shoulder training,
At present i train shoulders on a split 3 day, so one week twice, the next once and so on...
I never feel sore after training my shoulders and done seem to be increasing the weight .

I do 4 sets 6-12 Standing Press
3 sets 8-12 Lat Raises
3 sets front raise (drop setting last set to failure)

What do u reckon, could my form not be right, or not enough sets. ??

If I can make an assumption you are relatively new to Bbing and that you are natural, you only need to perform 6 sets of exercises on the shoulders if at all!

A simple routine would be

2 sets of a pressing exercise (any)

2 sets of a lateral exercise (any)

1 set of front raise

1 set of rear raise

train them for 10-12 reps 60 seconds reat between each.

If you are a 260lb mammoth with more roids in you than predator then ignore the above

Agree, SportDR. What about performing some Upright Rows, too?

Personally i would do 3-5 sets of heavy presses and forget the isolation stuff, and stick to the workout times that you are doing at the moment, unless there is soreness, then miss a day or two, stick to 6-12 reps heavy with good form

lol are u serious?

front raise like a lateral raise just lift to the front not the side....

rear raise.... standard lat raise but lean forward

i do 7 sets max for shoulders and they are growing like fook

4 sets seated barbell press and 3 sets side raises

heavy as possible balls to the wall hardcore training

nice

When you guys say 3 or 4 sets does that include the warm up sets, because to be honest sometimes on a compound exercise i will do 2 warm sets of 12-15 reps, then 2 or 3 sets of 6-8 reps, does this sound right or still too much. Its justn't seem enough sometimes to only do 3 sets in total.

Upright rows are another lateral exercise no better than lat raises really and unless modified, really bad for creating shoulder impingement syndrome.
