middle shoulders lagging... whats the best workout to target them?

[evoix]

my front and rear shoulders are fine but my middle is lagging here my workout

front db raises 4 sets
side db raises 4 sets
rear bent over db raises 4 sets

what else can i add to help build the middle shoulder.. free weights only.

I would try this

side laterals 2 w/u sets of 25, then 4 sets of 10-15 reps.

dumbell presses 1 w/u set of 25, then 5 sets of 10-12

uprights rows with dumbells or barbell 5 sets of 10-12

anything you want for rear delts

close grip upright rows should solve your problem

I agree with ded and diesel dude any type of upright movement should cure the issue.

arr i thought that up right rows hit the front shoulders must of been wrong... thanks for the input... does this sound like a good shoulder workout.

3 sets up right bb rows.
3 sets of front raises.
3 sets of side raises.
3 sets of bent over raises.

behind the neck presses
turn thumbs down on side raises
and those upright rows as previously mentioned

They might hit front delts more on a narrow grip. Widen your grip a little and you should feel it nicely. I agree with lcgator on the behind the head military. Just don't go down too far (top-middle of ear is fine) and don't do too much weight.

I totally agree. I prefer behind the neck also if your shoulders are healthy enough. But dont go below the bottom of your head EVER! This is a sure way to screw them up quick. But for me they seem to target the middle a little more.

But also the upright rows with a wider grip will be perfect. Just make sure to have your hands spaced just inside shoulder width
