still wondering what arnold presses are?

[Warrior]

I typically prefer one of two workouts:

One is a low intensity, longer rest intervals. I start up with heavy Militray Front Barbell Presses, than do One Arm Arnold Presses (done on the military bench holding one side while lifting with the other - getting a good stretch), then normally static holds of Side Laterals. I do Rear Delts with Back...

The other is a Holistic, high intesity style as such:
A: Military Front Barbell Press, 2-5 reps, explosive 2-0-2
B: Side Dumbell Laterals, 12-15 reps, rythmic 4-0-2
C: Standing Upright Barbell Rows, 40 reps
They are performed NONSTOP in this fashion: A,B,A,B,A,C,A,B,A,C,A,C,A - one big set... dropping the load as you fatique. Delts keep up pretty well though...

[Warrior]

Its the press where you start with the holding the dumbells so that your palms face your head. Then as you push up you twist it into a traditional mid range - palms facing away from your face.

[Devourer]

i like to do:
side laterals X 3 (pre exhausting)
military press X 2
DB press X 2
front raises X 3
upright rows X 3
rear delt raises X 3
rear delt pulls X 3 (from a cable row i pull to my neck)

nothing like 20 sets to get something done!
this is what my shoulder routine looks like if im doing 1 bodypart a day.

[kc]

DB Shoulder presses 5 x 10, 8
Lateral Raises 4 x 8
Front Raises 4 x 8
Incline Lateral Raises (lying on side) 4 x 8
Upright Rows 5 x 10, 8

[Hypertrophy]

Monday- 3 sets of Standing DB Presses
Wednesday- 3 sets of side laterals
Friday- 3 sets of Military Bar Presses

Hell yeah, Arnold presses are sweet. I get a huge shoulder pump when I do those.

[brian11]

I do reverse flys on my back day. I just try and focus using my back muscles to pull it back. I guess it does my shoulders too, but i dont hit my shoulders a lot individually.

-B-

[bermich]

SHOLDER = Spell it with me: SHOULDER... Good job.

[)(PimP JuicE)(]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh daaamn, forgot to click the spell check button.

[bermich]

lol. just fvckin witcha.

[BDTR]

Same as mine pretty much. Barbell presses then dumbell presses.

It's all i need.

mine is military press 4x6, 8 if good day.

then military press with dumbells(whatever thats called) 4x8

[BDTR]

btw, my barbell presses are no more than 5 reps (3 at the lowest) and the dumbell presses are 10-12

[)(PimP JuicE)(]

bdtr you dont NEED anything to work on LOL.. you're a beast man. haha im sure you've probably heard that 100 times already though.

[*Narkissos*]

My routine use to be:

Barbell Press (behind neck)
Barbell Press (In front)
Upright row

Right now it's:

Bent Laterals
Side Laterals
Front Laterals
Military Press
Upright Row

This week tho (Cus my energy was low-ish) i did:

Bent Laterals
Side Laterals
Clean And Press
BarBell Shrugs

Each Routine works really well for me.

[nickrizz]

im starting to do shoulders after chest. i dont do pressing movements, and only a few sets of sides, and a few of bent

[Prime]

i cant do barbell millitary press, anyone else unable?

[Warrior]

Are you doing them to the front? Much safer than to the rear (staying away from pressing or pulling in your verticle plain will save your shoulders) - this is another pressing movement I do thumbless too, BTW...

i injured my shoulders over a year ago (the first time) feels like i get a huge buildup of pressure in the joint (right side). Yeah i press to the front, i dont nececcarily think its safe to press behind.

Have you ever tried that trigger point therapy? Basically you use a rubber mallet-type tool and message the point where the pain is originating (do a search on the Net - here is one site). A handy thing for a g/f or wife to do. I was reading about this... a few months ago... in the McRoberts' Beyond Brawn book (pretty basic reading but his fundamental are good refreshers). Apparently he cleared some pain he developed from a long time back (I believe he said sports-related) using this method.

I had developed bad shoulders working in my verticle plane (even employing the old shoulder dumbell flyes at one point) - I learned what caused the injury and started a preventative approach from then on. The symptomatic approach ended up being a bout on Prednisone - but for an entirely different reason... but they felt perfect after that treatment (an anaphylactic shock)...

interesting idea. When i injured my shoulder the first time i lost the ability to do any kind of flies, millitary presses or upright rows. My bench suffered terribly. Well i can shoulder press using db's and i did flies with 30lbs a side (a massive drop) for the first time in over a year last week. I gave shoulder presses a go about 5 months ago. Man they hurt like ****! i think its something to do with my rotator cuff. I have just accepted that its something i have to avoid now.

[slizzut]

DB shoulder press 4 sets
front raises 3 sets
lateral raises 3 sets
reverse flye's 3 sets

mines the exact same thing.

[decadbal]

military presses, lat raises, rear delts and front delts, then heavy shrugs...
