train smaller bodyparts twice ?

[tcook]

for the bodyparts you find hard to build up ( mind being shoulder) should you theirfore train that bodypart twice a week ? its not a weak bodypart just the hardest i find to add mass to.

For me, smaller parts such as arms, calves can be hit twice a week. Shoulders however get hit hard on back day and on chest day. Maybe you are over training them....

What is your split?

I agree with terrai. Could be over training. Your shoulder are the link to every upper body exercise so they are getting used on your other days. I hit calves and abs 3 times a weeks as these muscles recover quickly.

at the moment basic 3 day split
mon: chest & tricep
wed: back & bicep
fri: shoulders & legs

No way should you be training shoulders twice a week. Train them harder one day a week.

i would do shoulders with back, and gave legs thier own day.. thats what i did, and got good results

If it's not getting you what you want, change it.

I think the 3 day spilt is good, maybe try-

mon: chest & tricep & Shoulders
wed: Legs
fri: back & Bis or add shoulders here

This is very popular spilt, has worked for many.

My 3 day spilt is

Mon, Chest/shoulders/ bis
Wed, Legs
Fri, Back, tris

^^this allows me to hit the bis and tris twice in the week, all be it as secondary mucsle

[BigJuice777]

I hit -
Monday: Chest and Tri's (Abs)
Wed: Back and Bi's
Friday: Legs (Abs)
Saturday: Shoulders

shoulders have their own day for me and it's been working out great. That's my .02

[morty]

I always work my rear delts on back day, could give that a try also

What is your shoulder routine? When you train shoulders, do they get pumped/burn like when you train other bodyparts?
