best mass building excersise for shoulders

[JerzeyBoy]

What's the best mass building excersise for shoulders besides military press?

[BgMc31]

any pressing movement (i.e military presses, behind the neck presses, bench presses, dumbell presses, etc.). And go very heavy.

other than pressing movements i believe that the rear delt is lacking on most people and big rear delts give shld a better look

rev pec deck, bent over laterals

He just gave them to you bro...there is no secret just train your ass off as hard and as heavy as you can.Oh and dont forget you grow away from the gym so make sure your nutritional intake is up to par as well as proper rest.

Have you tried the Push Press?

[Vial]

What is a push press? Never heard of that. Maybe I call it something different. Thanks

well, if you are training them, meaning you are stressing them, and giving them enough rest before hitting them again..

and you are consuming enough nutrients to grow muscle..

static training always makes me grow like a week.. lateral raises, side raises, and overhead press.. static.. work for me..

Thanks D9SOM. Was gone for the weekend so I wasn't on-line.

I'm sure push press works but i had shoulder problems shortly after doing these for a few weeks. Just a heads up that its an exercise that isnt easy to perform correctly .

Uhhh, not sure what you are reading or if you are intoxicated, but that's exactly what he provided in answer to your inquiry.

i see best results when i perform controlled reps for shoulders, i see alot of guys using momentum to "sling" weight.

That's because they see all the pros doing it. I do it cause the slow controlled stuff wasn't working.

never go behind neck,goes for lat pull downs as well

[Vicktor]

On overhead presses is it recommended they be done standing or seated?

[Undecided09]

Seated, less stress on ur back, never go behind ur head as AUS mentioned, LEAN AWAY LATERAL RAISES solid!

[lifta_00]

personally i dont go behind the neck with any press as im afraid of injuring my rotator cuff but if experienced and have good technique it can be very benificial.

[audis4]

standing flys with dumbells
shrugs for traps and shoulders

[gmmvp42]

something to try for a little while. Combine seated bent over lateral db raises, seated lateral raises, and seated forward raises with standard bb press. # reps same for each excercise, one after another (no rest), finish
with bb press(standing). Sometimes I would start with a heavier bb, do X reps, go straight to the seated db raises(3 excercises/sets), then finish with lighter bb standing press. I did this 3 times, usually ended up cheating halfway thru(definite burn). Gave me some shape though. This is a variation of somebody's wo, seated or standing is your choice.

Do you guys think that the barbell frontraise is a must have exercise? Or its not necessairy to gain mass?

I hate doing it, it hurts my wrists...

Can I just do a 4 exercise program like:

Db millitairy press
Cable Latteral raise
Db seated latteral raise

Or should I add a lying rear death row?

Thanks

[Rictor33]

Behind the neck is risky without a spotter, but I still do it from time to time. With lighter weight focusing on contraction.

[DemonInside]

i usually do 12 sets total of pressing,db shoulder press and then barbell and usually a smith or a shoulder press machine.

behind the neck i hear is bad for you as well

i say rear delts is def important in makeing you look big

people say i'm doing well for only being 20

[mxnick76]

I find upright row to be very effective for adding mass to my shoulders, gives you a nice wide look, really helps to get the incline bench numbers up as well

Thanks for answering mate... I wont take it off my program

[beachbum28]

The arnold dumbell press is best of all! Palms facing you and elbows down to sides tucked in... press up keeping elbows at shoulder width apart and twist db out ending with palms as far facing out as possible... Hits all three heads really hard.. use heavy weight and you'll be amazed

[Schwarzenegger]

Ive found that the push press or standing military press works wonders for shoulders. Another exercise is hang cleans, although mainly a lower body exercise, it also incorporates shoulders as well.

Standing Military Press (or Push Press)
Hang Cleans
Upright Rows
Arnold PResses
Alot of exercises,, front raises but instead of dumbells use a barbell.
Seated lateral and front raises
Front raises with a 45 lb Plate, holding it with both hands
Smith Machine Military Press
Another one i like is after the whole shoulder workout is done, do Dips,,, totally emphasizes the front delts.
