how do i get more shoulder definition?

[vol438]

my shoulders from side dont look defined, its almost flat. how do i get definition on my shoulders? my bodyfat% is about 8-9.

i want more definition like this-

[Alinnyk]

do side dumbell raises, military press and http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exer...scle=Shoulders

IMHO, working for definition and "toning" is bull****. It's all about muscle mass and low body fat. Bring more mass, lose more fat.

i just want to see the muscle seperation from the shoulders to the upper arms like in the picture, i want to see the line.

and yeah i hate the word "tone".

well..isnt that what "toning" is LOL..losing body fat? thats why people "bulk" first and "shred" after.

"Definition" = low body fat + lean muscle mass.

Are you sure you're BF is as low as 8-9%? Have you had it checked? Because that's fairly low.

If it is that low, then your shoulders probably aren't very big. Work a mass gaining program for your delts.

here's a pic of me from the front- http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=110357611

im pretty sure im 8-9% bf, i think i carry more fat on my upper arms than other areas maybe.

IMO bulk. As you gain muscle and keep body fat % relatively the same you will see muscles like you want. good luck.

You just need time to grow more. The guys shoulder in the picture is twice the size of yours. Youre definitely lean, just not enough mass yet.

Good stuff man. You def. have your BF under control.



You just need some mass then man. The lateral and posterior (rear) delts are difficult for many people to develop. Give them special attention and time.

Toning is normally defined as the people who do really light weight for 15+ reps.

It's around 9-10. Your BF% is not the problem, you need more overall mass in order to see that definition in the pic that you posted.

[JoeyDaFool]

you need mass on the lateral and rear delt

[nads786]

side and rear delt work

[kobrien21]

my shoulders have been getting more defined since i incorporated swimming into my routine.

[Jbert112]

more mass, less bf. easier said than done however.

[Leferikson]

In your case, with the low bodyfat, you just need to get a bit of mass on the shoulders. Do heavy overhead presses as the overall mass builder (dumbbell or barbell, whichever you prefer) and do dumbbell side raises for reps in 6-10 range with good form and slow speed. I'd recommend adding in some face pulls for rear delt definition too, to add some balance for when you start getting some decent shoulders.
