 | need advice on shoulder routine hi guys. having trouble finding a good shoulder work out?? this is what i normally do- shoulder press/doumbell press 4 sets (8-10 reps) 4th set drop set. bar bell raise (front delts) 4 sets (8-12 reps)4th drop lat raise (side delts) 4 sets (8-12reps) 4th drop set rear delts 3 sets (8-12reps) shrugs 4 sets i have read that this is too much and could be over training?i saw a link that suggested jusr 2 pressing sets and only 1 - 2 sets on the other exercises,as you ar always working your shoulders indirectly when working other mucsle groups.im a little confused?? could someone suggest a good routine please,looking to put a lot more size and shape on my delts! i do have i rotater cuff injury which can flare up sometimes when pressing heavy weight. thanks jonah |

  | Re: need advice on shoulder routine Too much IMO. I usually opt for 12 sets in total for shoulders, tops. 4 sets of presses (barbell, seated dumbbell, smith presses etc) 3 sets of concentrating on side heads, (i.e. seated side laterals, standing side laterals) 2 sets of rear delt work 2-3 sets of shrug work. If the intensity is there you can't not gain IMO. I used to batter everything with sh1tloads of sets - tried this approach & never looked back.
