Proper should press form

[dude]

I have been reading how some guys here have built good delts from just doing presses and it struck my curiosity. I can lift some heavy weight duirng my shoulder press but I don't seem to have as good of a side delt as I would like. So I was wondering, from the guys who have big delts, what type of forum do you use. I think part of my problem is that I use a lot of my triceps because my elbows tend to be in front of the rest of my body.

pressings hits mostly triceps, bro, Include your shoulder program on your chest day, doing them after your chest routines. would help a lot!!!

im not a huge guy like your asking for, but ive seen delt growth recently after including presses and one delt exercise on chest day. this growth occurred also when i started doing heavy deads and back work also, like some will suggest

Also consider Arnold presses and start hitting the cables. My favorite for really pulling our the medial delt is one arm side cable extensions. Grip the handle from behind your butt (this is key - do not do it from the front) and extend to the side and squeeze your delts for a full 5 seconds. After 4 sets, your delts are burning like fire and pumped to the absolute max. Great way to finish off the day.

Heavy deads... Heavy benching.... squatting.....

shoulders get hit with almost every excercise, either directly or indirectly, so you don't need too much extra work on them IMO.

I do lateral and front raises before moving on to shoulder press. That way I'm using just my shoulders and no triceps.

I just started adding in my shoulder workout after chest so things should be on the up. I have proportionately larger anterior delts than I do posterior and lateral delts. With this in mind, I really think that isolating in on my lateral and posterior delts will help with my poor development.

How does that work? I dont understand.

In my opinion, tiring out your triceps before doing shoulder presses would help more, as that would force you to use more shoulder strength to make up for your weakened tris.

But I would NOT reccomend doing this as it would decrease your strength in the press, and thats always bad. All you need to do is change your grip, and form until your shoulders always give out before your triceps. If your tris give out before your delts, you mostly training tris.

dont lock out at the top go to just above your forehead it keeps most of the focus on the delts and off the tri's.once you go to much above your head it's all tri's and hit's the traps too.oh yeah do side laterials that always kills my middle delts.

Are you doing barbell shoulder presses or dumbell? Seated on an upright bench, or standing?

I prefer dumbell presses but sometimes I change it up with barbell. All exercises are performed seated. I have tried doing them standing and I have to use a lot less weight. It is difficult for me to tell why I have to use such less weight in standing because I can never view my own form.
