Help with Shoulder Workout!

[west535]

Can anyone suggest a Shoulder workout that will bring up my delts? I have been doing the same shoulder workout the last few months and my results suck. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Military presses 4x8
Front Raises 4x10
Side Raises 4x10
Bent Over Lat raises 4x10

Works good for me. The only problem is that it makes my arms look small since my shoulders are so big.

I do the same Shoulder routine except for the Front Raises. The front delts get smashed hard enough in other exercises.

Its a good workout because it hits all parts of the shoulder. Maybe its because I have big shoulders, but overall the workouts great.

Dumbell shoulder press:
two warm-up sets with light-weight (12-15 reps)
three heavy sets (8-10 reps)

Standing side lateral raises
one warm-up set with light-weight (12-15 reps)
three heavy sets (10-12 reps)

Seated rear lateral raises
one warm-up set (12-15 reps)
three heavy sets (10-12 reps)

Dumbell shrugs
one warm-up set (10 reps)
three heavy sets (10 reps)

I like doing inline side laterals as a finishing move. you'll get a burn and a pump you won't believe. front delts are usually worked enough in all your pressing movements, so no direct work is usually needed.don't forget the rear delts bent over laterals work these hard.

looking at your pics, you could benefit from more rear delt work.

incline db raises
reverse pec deck
bent over db raises
wide grip rows to the chest

let us know what you're currently doing, too

incline side raises are a good exercise. i think you should be doing direct front delt work. it doesn't look like presses are doing it for you

lots of raises my delts are huge and i do no presses .... my sholder workout is like this

upright rows 4 x 16 , 12 , 8, 6
front seated d/b raises 4 x 14 , 12 , 10, 8
side lateral raises 4 x 14, 12, 10, 8
super set b/b shrugs with rear d/b raises 5 sets

i go real heavy on raises on the last few rep i usually cheat to get the reps out ........ but this is wat works for me you may be diferent

Another really good shoulder builderis wide grip upright rows or high pulls. Take a wide grip (so that you're gripping the rings on the knurled part of the barbell). Pull the bar up so that it's about 10 inches or so in front of your face and pull it until it's about eye level. This is an amazing shoulder exercise that almost nobody even knows about. However, regular upright rows with a close grip are absolutely worthless for your shoulders.

My computers been down for awhile,thank you all for the suggestions. Currently im doing seated Smith Machine press super set with Front Raises,next Seated Dumbbell raise super set with dumbbell upright row.Last thing is seated dumbbell bent over lat raise. Let me know what you all think and what changes I can make to add more size.

Im going to try this workout on my next shoulder day.Ive been having some problems with my shoulder's after doing pressing movements so I need a little change in my workout.
