Help my shoulders grow!!!!

[AznBB]

Can you give me a good routine that has helped your shoulders grow. Please give me the exercises, sets, reps, etc. THanks alot. PEACE OUT .

[steel250]

I usualy go with:

4 sets barbell military press, #1 is light warmup
3 sets dumbell shoulder press
2 sets dumbell or barbell front raises
2 sets dumbell lateral raises using one arm at a time

warm up and stretch good cause you can screw up shoulders quickly

go heavy on the first two excercizes if you want growth, but never go too heavy on the laterals

my shoulders have always had a hard time growing.
i dont have an actual routine, but what i usually do is i hit the area of the shoulder i want to grow most with an exercise, for me it would be side delts, so i do side raises and tire em out, if you wanna do front you can do front raises or for rear you could do bent over lateral raises if thats what they're called. once i get that tired i kill the rest with military presses. this exercise has probly given me the best gains. afterwards i work on other isolation exercises. thats what works for me and puts my shoulders on fire, hope it helps
oh, NEVER do the same thing twice! that also really helps

Rocky Press for the win, man. It burns like hell after every single set.

no rear delts or traps ? not good routine and i personal feel their is no reason for front raises when you do bench they get hit and when you do shoulder press your front delt is enfisized the most

[chuckno]

db shoulder press 4 x 12 , 10 , 8 , 6
upright rows 3 x 12 , 10 , 8 ,
cable latarals 3 x 12 , 10 , 8
rear latarals 3 x 12 , 10 , 8
shrugs 2 x failure
i do alot of difrent rep ranges on traps

My shoulders started growing like crazy when I started training them on their own day.

[lancs_hotpot]

Press - DB or Military (seated)
Lateral Raises
Cable Side Laterals
Bent Over Laterals
Shrugs

Reps
On press start with 2 sets of very easy weight 20 reps
set of moderate weight, should still be easy 10 reps
set of higher weight but not to failure (about 60/70% of max) 8 reps
set of heaviest weight to failure with 2 forced reps 6-8 reps
drop set of 8-10 if you want or rest pause 2-4 reps

Lateral raises - light warm up 10 reps
set of moderate weight 8 reps
heaviest weight to failure 8 reps

Cable - 1 set of 8-10 reps to failure (use perfect form will pause at top and slow negatives) followed by drop set

Bent Laterals - 3 sets of 8 reps last set to failure

Shrugs 3-4 sets of 8 reps

This may be a bit too much volume but this is what I've been doing lately. I try to hit all sides of my delts, front, side, and rear.

Front DB Raises (25lb) 3 x 10
Rear DB Raises (25-30lb) 3 x 10
Lateral DB Raises (25-30lb) 3 x 10
Shoulder DB Press (60lb) 3 x 8
Upright Rows 3 x 8
DB / BB Shrugs 3 x 10-12

Then to finish the shoulder workout, I have a partner do Front Plate Raises.

For example:
Using a 35lb plate, I do one rep, then my partner does 1 rep.
Then I do 2 reps, then my partner does 2 reps.
We continue this until we reach 10 reps. Then you work your way back down to 1 rep all over again. 1-10 then 10-1.

If that makes any sense?

They will kill you and are a good burnout exercise in my opinion.
