    Shoulder help

    So I have been lifting for over half my life but nonstop for the past 2 years. Everybody part continues to grow and get stronger except my shoulders. I train by my self so I work a lot rest pause into my traing and get a spot when I'm trying to go to failure for some forced and negatives. They aren't getting sore like every other body part and they good when I do a side biceps pose. What works for y'all as far as growth and strength as far as your shoulders. My routine right now is
    Seated barbell military press
    Cable side lateral raise
    Front cable lateral raise
    Rear felt raised and behind the back shrugs supersetted

    I find that the seated smith machine military lowering the bar in front has been the biggest success to my shoulder strength. Secondly I would give credit to upright rows. Shoulders are a small muscle and strength gains are slow and steady thing.
    Also I believe in lots of volume. The exercises you listed would be a common routine for me as well. I would do 4 sets of each of those. Not to mention the 5 sets of warm-ups I have to do with my shoulders.

    S.lat at 80% max, drop half weight do again. Than 75% max seated m. Press on smith mach, drop weight do again, than drop weight one last time. Also these was a big help, I did get sore and that's wide upright rows with db.

    Military press pick weight that you can perform 6 reps strict form. Perform 2-3 drop sets by 10/side. Perform 3-4 sets. This sounds weird but works for lateral and front raises. Starting weight will be less than normal weight you normally use for these exercises. Grab weight in seated position. This will prevent you from being able to cheat. Perform shrug and hold throughout exercise. Lift weight only to shoulder height hold and squeeze for as long as you can. Slowly allow weight to come down making sure to control weight. Stop descent of weight before delt loses tension. Return weight to top and repeat. Perform at least 6 reps with 3-4 sets. I usually do 2-3 drop sets by 5/side. I guarantee this will build your shoulders.

    Definetly start incorporating some of these things in my routine. Up right rows are out of the question until I figure out what's going in with my wrist. Push and pull I have no problems but any turning inward and I'm done.

    Start next cycle test e 500 mg a week here at the beginning of June and I really want to bring my shoulders up. I'm pretty happy with the growth of everything else. Thanks guys

    What’s wrong with your wrist? Is it constant and only aggravated by turning or caused by turning.
