Is this a good weekly workout for shoulders?

[TinyTurtle26]

5 sets of (10 reps of Side laterals)(10 reps of Hammer gront raises)(10 reps Bent over laterals)(10 reps Front raises(To ceiling))(20 reps of push ups?) 30 seconds rest in between (Mike changs shoulder workout)

If not what should I add/take away?

I also have no access to a gym, and the only equipment I can afford are dumbbells.

I would suggest two books: Never Gymless by Ross Enamait and You Are Your Own Gym by Mark Lauren.

How long have you been lifting and what do your lifts look like? Cause you must be an advanced lifter to want to put your shoulders in jeopardy like that.

300 reps on the shoulders, plus what ever you do when working other pressing exercises....ouch

Also, just because you only have dumbbells, does not mean you should kill your shoulders. Slowly buy more equipment like I did.

Yes I too started with only dumbbells, but I was not a dumbbell when it came to lifting. You still need to work on the basics and learn to lift with proper form, even if it's with dumbbells.

Neither do I...what's your point? 300 reps on shoulders plus his other pushing exercises is design for disaster.

My point is that he won't be doing any deadlifting, squatting, etc, etc, etc. My point wasn't that he had a good shoulder routine put together (he doesn't). But clearly he's asking for advice on doing a bodyweight only workout with maybe a single pair of dumbbells, unless he's willing to outfit his basement with a whole set of dumbbells, barbells, and plates.

I guess my point now is that you didn't read his OP very carefully. He was like, "I want to train my legs but I don't have feet." And then you were all like, "HOW FAST CAN YOU RUN A MILE???"

My shoulders hurt just reading this. Maybe back it down a little. If you're starved for weights - IE: no barbell, just make one yourself. Go to Walmart, buy two jugs of water or milk. Fill them with water if they're not already full, use them as makeshift weights. The hand holds can then have a stick or curtain rod put through them to make a makeshift barbell. Did it in college. It's not cool looking, but it gets the job done.

Well, that is where you are wrong. I was wanting to know what his other lifts might be so as to guide him to a proper program.

He can do most of the programs on here with the equipment he has, but if he is a beginner then you should have told him straight up front, that his shoulder routine is bad and that a beginner does not even need a shoulder routine.

I just asked him, what was once asked of me...plain and simple...what are your lifts?

OP...watch for sales at Dunhams, if you have one. 300lbs bar included as low as $169

No he can't.

but if he is a beginner then you should have told him straight up front, that his shoulder routine is bad and that a beginner does not even need a shoulder routine.

OP, I think you should invest in one of the books I cited above and design a bodyweight program around the suggestions within. And get a pull-up bar.

I'm a complete beginner and have no idea what i'm doing. Ive been doing alot of research for the past week, and found that shoulder workout plan from a guy on youtube named mike chang. Will this workout damage my shoulders? I just did it with 8 pound dumbbells and it was easy should I move up to 15 pound?(15 and 8 are all I have at the moment 2 of each)

here's a quick tip: stay the hell away from everything connected to Mike Chang. He's the joke of the youtube fitness community.

Viking's on point with this

Mike Chang is trash, no offense

He's gimmicky, manipulative, and his information is way off base

[TinyTurtle26]

Thank you i'm glad you told me this about mike chang right away, rather then knowing it months in.

Could any of you recommend some good youtube channels?

It won't damage your shoulders by any means (some people in this thread greatly over reacted), it just won't strengthen them (especially with 8 lb dumbbells), and those exercises are not effective shoulder movements for a beginner. Unless you're willing to invest in decent equipment (two sets of dumbbells isn't going to get you anywhere) or join a gym, I would stick with bodyweight exercises, but effective ones. Pull-ups and push-ups are your bread and butter for shoulder strength. Ideally (without weights) you should advance through various bodyweight progressions and work toward moves like handstand push-ups.
