Deltiod problems
Hey everyone im new to this site but not new to lifting... Decided to join here to maybe improve my goals... I have been working out for about 3 years but seriously working out to get big for about 1 year.
I have a problem with increasing the size of my delts. I do all the necessary excercises. Military shoulder press 135 x 12 reps. DB shoulder press 70lbs x 12 reps. Lateral raises 25 lbs x 12 reps and foward raises the same...
In the past 6 months i increased dramatically in the amount of weight i lift but i dont see much results in the size of my shoulders compared to my biceps, chest, back etc... Is there something im missing?

Have you tried experimenting with different repetition ranges?Originally Posted by bgDIESEL
Here's some more exercises to choose from:

90% of the time, people who do "shoulder" exercises rarely use shoulders. Most lean back and incline press it, or pump their arms straight up and down using mostly triceps. Even laterals most people do wrong.Originally Posted by bgDIESEL

your form could be off try really focus on pushing the weight with your shoulders and nothing else. REally muscle the weight the shoulders and nothing else.. also incline bench hits the shoulders well..decline bench...dips ...pull ups all workouts that are good for other muslces but good for the deltoids as well.

Like others have already said, form is more important with shoulder work than any other muscle group. Reduce the weight and really concentrate on form for a couple weeks until you are 100% positive that your shoulders are doing the bulk of the work. Then up the weight to your normal sets.

Most people will find that without direct stimulation to the deltoids, it will not grow. With that being said, you need to really focus as other said on using the shoulders as opposed to other muscle groups to train the delts. When doing a side lateral, keep the elbows up, with the thumbs pointing slightly down, elbows have a slight bend in them, and focus on pushing your elbows out with the side delts. Remember it's a raise, not a swing, so don't use momentum. On the last couple reps (close to failure) using relatively good form is fine, but keep it as good as possible. Swinging it up will most likely do nothing for the muscle, but potentially injure it.Originally Posted by Bmburton34

i agree reduce the weight, do plenty side laterals and rear delt work too, make sure u actaully feel the delt working.
