    square shoulders?

    Well I have very square shoulders. I do a rather extensive shoulder workout which consists of:
    lateral raises 3x10-10-8
    upright bb rows 3x10-12-6
    vertical forward raises 3x8-8-10

    Are these good for now to improve my shape? I'm getting rather frustrated with my shape even though my strength is increasing. Any tips for getting nice rounded shoulders?

    Working your traps should help make your shoulders less square.

    i would switch up and divide all of those into 2 workouts...for shoulders i stick to 1 exercise per shoulder head. shoulders get worked out alot with chest and back so on shoulder day i try to go heavy, but not for long.

    OP, heres something to consider.

    Until we reach intermediate/advanced phases, everyone has certain strengths and weaknesses. For me, it was my chest.

    But I found NOT putting lots of emphasis on the weaker muscles actually makes them grow and progress FASTER.
