Re: How I finally got boulder shoulders, thought I'd share

one exercise that has really helped me is front raises with palms facing up......works the shit out of the front delts and really helps to visually make them pop.

I started doing the too and really like them. I do then almost like an uppercut with a barbell palms up. Great pump!

Yeah I do the same with an EZ bar. Also try this, Hip Press. Lay on the floor flat on your back get your dbbls so that you can press them straight up from your waistline area. Keep your palms facing each other. A nice variation.

Never tried those, gonna give them a shot. I do agree that the higher volume is the way to go. I recently did one of the Arnold shoulder workouts and absolutely loved it. High reps, super sets. Reps going 30,12,10,8,6.

Changing my workout around to bump it up a few notches. Re-read this thread and it def gave me thoughts about my additions. Went back and redid the shoulder routine. Friggin lots a reps now!

The one exercise that works great are one arm side laterals laying on an incline bench, don't need a lot of weight, but a spotter is good for the forced reps. They will fucking burn for days...

Agreed. I just started doing these and nothing ive ever tried isolates and stimulates my medial/middle delt as these have. It's truly my all time favorite shoulder move now. Fwiw I do 10lb/15lb and finish with 20lb.

IDK I really like Upright BBL rows bent slightly forward at the waist. Makes mine pop for the rest of the day anyhow...

This is my other go to move zed. I like straight bar vs ez curl. I find the key is to lift with the elbows

Yup fully agree bro. The slight forward lean makes all the diff for me.

I'll try that as well. I'm going to hit the incline bench side lateral 1 more week then do 1-2 weeks of upright rows.

Re: How I finally got boulder shoulders, thought I'd share

I was looking at this thread about 10 wks ago, n I've been tryn to get the pumpkin heads for yrs, n always went as heavy as possible, 205lb behind the neck standing, 100lb db's standing, this took me yrs to get to, n probably all my shoulder development was from bench n bar. Well I've upped the reps, 12-15 on the compound moves, behind theneck, clean n press, trap n front deltblast, wide grip uprights, with sick mind muscle connection, but the lateral raise machine with drop sets from hell, hammer strength press drop sets both hi reps n the rear delt machine hi rep drop sets have more than doubled my development, I'm wondering if it's all the machines do the aas, next um adding cable front raise. .. YEAH MC!
