Re: Bigger shoulders

I have horrible tendonitis in my left elbow most arm lifting really hurts it and I am even limited on how heavy of a dumbbell I can hoist with my left arm. It does OK on the lateral machine for side dealt is fine for overhead press and face pulls but I am stumped on what I can do for the front delt. Any ideas?

Is it on the inside of the elbow? If it is, than you need to stretch more. The pain on the inside of the elbow (which many of us PLers get) is caused by your flexors getting over worked and your extensors not getting worked enough.

Re: Bigger shoulders

To get the best shoulders you possible can, it is important to hit all three heads on the deltoids
This is my current shoulder workout:

I begin my workout warming up on the cables with very light weights performing side front and rear exercises 1- set 20 reps

The main workouts are performed at 3-4 sets at 8-10 reps on a pyramid system

Seated barbell press (behind the head) or dumbell press (try to alternate every month)

Side raises db to hit the side delts (lateral deltoid) - do this seated for isolation and improved technique

Side raises machine - side delts (lateral deltoid)

Rear deltoids exercise DB

Rear deltoid exercice on pec deck

Front raises DB for the anterior (front) deltoid.

I then finish up on shrugs
