    Need Wider Shoulders...

    I want wider shoulders, but have a problem with my wrists. I cannot do lateral raises with heavy weight, because I get sharp pains in my wrist… not sure why, but this is reoccurring. I have no problem with seated dumbbell press, or any other exercises for that matter, just lateral exercises. I have seen no dramatic changes in my shoulders in a while. What are some power exercises to put some mass on the shoulders, repetitions and sets?

    that’s a shame, I love laterals for lateral head size,, during the 4-6 inches from the top downwards while doing bar or D/B press, this is when the lateral head is under the most presser, and can be worked accordingly in this manner, put the rack high up in a power rack, sit on a bench with back support, you can put the emphasis on the lateral head from here, start at lock out and come down 4-6 inches then return,, give them a go, although you will have all the gym dicks coming up to you saying what are you doing come right down to your shoulders lol

    2 warm up military presses on machine


    then right to

    cable side lateral superset drop sets

    55 x 10+
    35
    20
    for 10 reps and try to beat em every workout or up weight

    60
    40
    20
    harder but do as much as I can

    here I bend at almost a 45 degree angle to get some rear
    40
    30
    15 for burn

    then to rear delts same fashion but lighter for 3 supersets

    then to some upright rows with about 135 on a bar to some rope cable front raises at about 40 pounds to fail

    then again

    and finish up with some machine press drop sets.....usually just one.

    shoulders FUKIN KILL the next day.

    I will swap in different movements when the uprights and rope fronts are lame...like front bar raises to front raises at a 45 degree angle and finish with arms parallel to the floor /// eye level...those are hard 15 pounds.

    but for you ... if you cant lateral.

    nothing but drop sets man...up the intensity....my shoulders will only respond or respond better to higher reps

    I could military press over 3 plates a side....and didnt have that biga shoulders....cause the reps were low ...until I upped the total work set of a 3 drop superset totalling over 30 reps did the fukker grow


    BIG TIME.

    OHHH IM SURE ...it will.



    ahhhaaaa


    umm, yeah well, try it. and perform the beginning of the sets the best you can of course and kick the elbow up higher than the wrist and shoulder at the last second for a tweak...the mid weight is for just post exhaust after the first set and the last weight the lightest one ...should really fukin hurt.

    but then again...it doesnt take much with this shit.

    you should get strong or at least put a rep per set of each superset everytime...nervous exhaustion usually wins before muscle failure.

    its good.

    have fun.
