Help me out with a delt workout.

When I do delt I do not get the pump I get when I do other body part. I hear guys say "OMG I can't raise my arm my shoulders ache." I need that.

What do you do?

Shoulders never need to be beaten up.

Here is one that that can be FUN!.

Start with the 10's for 25 reps,
Go immediately to the 20"s for 12
Go to the 30's immediately for 10
Hit the 40's for 8. No rest.

Do this twice and you will not be able to move your arms. I do it once in awhile for
a change up. Adjust the weights as necessary. Do not rest through the set, then give it 2-3 minutes or so and do another set, and then delt's are done.

Anyway, just a thought. It sure is fun tho! Remember NO cheating.

Push presses, followed by laterals, then upright rows. I don't think rear laterals are needed if you do enough rows on back day.

Traps are a separate issue.

Anyone ever see the video with Jay Cutler doing lateral raises? He did them awful IMO but some how it works for him. He never brings them past his ribs!

Shoulders are the part I'm really trying to improve on, trying to get that nice line between my delts and bicepts all the way around my arm.

Heavy Arnold presses, lighter concentrated intense sets of front and lateral raises and finish off with up rows and don't forget hammer curls when working bicepts.
