adding width to the shoulders.....

[rpwhit777]

O.K. what I really need to do is take some pics so you guys can see, but I have pretty nice delts, especially the posterior regoin and the pec delt tie area. The only problem I see with my shoulders is from the front they lack width.....What can I do target this area????? Thanks bros..........R

Side laterals.

ever tried dumbell presses that usually helps as well as changing the hand position on those just my 0.02

Like Easto said sides to build width.Also you could try seated dumbell press with the dumbells end bells at a 45% angle this will put stress on the outter head of the deltoid.Cock your wrists, palms forward so that the end of the dumbell is high.

. The problem is that I have been massing up using traditional and basic movements such as powerlifting excercises. Now I need to go in there and refine some things, at the same time continue to size up. I am gonna hit these excercises tommorrow, I had a killer freakin leg day today..........YEH!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the replies..........R

Try these 2 variations on side laterals:

1. Side-Lateral Dbell Raises: Bring the dbells ALL THE UP, AND TOUCH THEM TOGETHER over top your head though. You won't be able to use as much weight.

2. Lie on a decline bench w/ your head at the higher end. While on your right side, take a dbell, and with the left arm somewhat bent, lift it from your hip to overhead. Back down & w/o touching, back up. Switch sides. One arm lying side lateral raises. You wont be able to go heavy at all on these either. Try starting w/ like 15 or 20's and focus on form. These 2 are a step beyond just regular side laterals imo. Give 'em a try & let me know.

Arnold presses!

If you do them & get results, then fine. They are murder on your joints though. That twisting motion while lifting is BAD BAD BAD. I think that just looking at them would make most guys aware of that, but I guess since they have "Arnolds" name on them, that dudes tend to think that they must be worthwhile, & even moreso safe. No way would Arnold have done them if they weren't eh?!

Wow skedmedz little negative today are we? Hehehe

I've never had a problem doing them where as military presses do cause a bit of discomfort for me. They do a great job hitting all the heads of the delt.

What's negative bro? I just find that exercise risky is all. Nothing personal. I know alot of fellas that do them, and like them.

I am with Skedmedz on this one. I dont like Arnold presses have done them before and havent noticed anything but sore shoulders. On a more positive note. I had my workout this morning and those exercises were great. I had never even thought of getting on a decline bench upside down before..... F$#(*(^$%$@.... they were killer, I of course threw in the military presses, and then finished off with side laterals..........I felt like I had to turn to get throught the door..........BALLOON BOY!!!!!!....Thanks guys I will keep you posted on my progress...................
