How to get big shoulders?

[TripDaddy]

I have super human retard strength in my shoulders and incline bench press.. Strongest part of my body, leaving out legs of course... My shoulder routine lately has been:

4 sets of 12 Barbell shoulder press-225 lbs
4 sets of 12 upright rows 185 lbs
4 sets of 12, each lateral raises then right into Front lateral raises for each set(total of 24 reps in a row each set)
4 sets of either rear flys or bent over rear delt cable raises
Sometimes sprinkle in a few shrugs if I feeling saucey, 405 lb shrugs 6-8 reps each set

Shoulders in my opinion should have there own day.

That's obviously my routine for reps not for maxing and I'm loving it lately.. I very rarely Max my shoulders now a days.

holy huge shoulder weights batman!

btw, DaHurt's advice is great earlier in the post. I also like cable side lateral raises.

Brother u dont EVER get away with snapping , But im similiar heavy overhead lifts cant do em i can but it feels lik shit. Im just like my shoulders respond to anything basically and very little to .same with my traps .

Lets just say i was stupid with that comment

What i meant to say was....Fortunantly ive been lucky enough to not snap anything!

Im with you on the traps; mine seem to grow even when im sleeping

just my opinion but I think medial delts are the key to wide shoulder appearance. obviously you want posterior and anterior development as well, but I always had good luck doing side laterals with dumbells or cables, followed immediately by bent over laterals for the rear delts. I'm with you guys on the front delts getting enough during chest training.
I also hate to see people swinging the weight up while doing lateral raises. you don't need to go heavy, go for the deep burn, and watch those shoulders take shape.
old time pro Larry Scott was known for having narrow shoulders, and wrote some good articles on training for these..
