triset with

rear rear cable laterals 3 sets 10-12 reps follow workouts exactly the way they are laid out

lying one arm side laterals lie on your right side on a bench or abdomial board set at a low angle ....with your head near the high end ......brace your self so you don't move ....grab a dumbbell with your left hand and rest it on your upper left thigh........keeping your left elbow slightly bent ,raise in a semicircular arc until it is directly above your head. then slowly lower it to your thigh after completing 10 to 12 reps swicth to your left side.


cable rears laterals stand between a pair of low pulleys at the crossover station.....reach with your right hand across your body to grab the left handle ...then reach with your left hand across your body to grab the right handle ...keeping your knees slightly bent ,lean foward so that yout torso is parallel to the floor .... with your elbows slightly bent ,pull each handle simultaneoulsy across your chest and then upward and outward in semicurcular area ....hold this postion for 1 second then slowly lower cables to the arms crossed postion ....either each rep or each set alternate which arm you cross in front of the other....the key to a balanced deltoids is training each head as a seperate and equal muscle (flex july 2003)-------------------

Way too much volume ....lying laterals ....and side laterals.....too much
Front presses and ...front raises?
 
THIS IS OVERTRAINING AT ITS FINEST. You would proably get stronger but not pack on any meat in ur delts. and this could be very dangerous as far as injury is concerned. i think the shoulders are the most important muscle and for me the most delicate. i use them for chest tri movements and they are ur back bone when it comes to arms. if u blow out ur "cuff" ur sucking.
 
YES IT IS A LITTLE OVER TRAINING BUT IT IS ONLY 12 WEEKS ...I TRIED THIS PROGRAM AND IT WORKED VERY,VERY WELL ... IT WAS OUT OF A MAGIZINE
 
worked well? how for strength? u cant tell me u packed on any mass with this. i prob wouldent believe you.

I NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN MASS NOT A HUGE AMOUNT BUT A LITTLE AND MY STRENGTH WENT UP ......IF YOU DID THIS WORKOUT ALL THE TIME IT WOULD BE OVERTRAING BUT FOR A 12 WEEK PERIOD YOU DO NOT GET OVERTRAINED ......THERE ARE A LOT OF STUDIES THAT SHOW BIG WORKOUTS FOR NO MORE THAN 12 WEEKS CAN PUT MASS ON YOU ......LOOK AT THE PROS A LOT OF THEM DO 20 TO 30 SETS FOR EACH BODYPART AND ARNOLD USED TO THAT 2 TIMES PER WEEK AND HE GREW..... MANY PEOPLE COULD'NT DO AN ARNOLD WORKOUT EVERYDAY FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME HE DID THAT BUT 12 WEEKS FOLLOWED BY A RECOVERY WORKOUT ...MEANING 9 TO 12 SETS MAX ....TRY AND SEE FOR YOURSELF BRO I THINK YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE ......NOT FLAMING YOU BRO I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ONE DAY AND TRIED IT AND IT WORKED VERY WELL FOR ME BUT WHAT WORKS FOR ME MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU ....LMK IF OTHER PEOPLE TRY IT
 
ive been training my delts like this for example but i cant seem to get the boulder shoulder look.damn genetics....

miltary press 6 sets 8-12 reps
front lateral raises 10 sets 12-15 reps
Side lateral raises 10 sets 8-12 reps
side laterals cable 10 sets 8-12 reps
rear laterals seated 5 sets 20 reps
shrugs 3 strip sets followed by 6 sets normall db shrugs 12-15 reps
my delts are shit but i train to form and volume is it because ive only been training a year.how long does it take to get boulder shoulders?
 
id be watching my cuff if i was to follow this routine. and u could forget about going heavy.

Dude thats overtraining..... 18 sets for shoulders??????

I've had 22 set days for shoulders and 20 set days for chest. My shoulders happen to be my best part, and i've been doin this for about 2 years. I think we use the word overtraining a little too loosely on these boards.
