Shoulder workout advice....

[NightSonic]

My shoulders are under developed compared to most of my body. I got a good amount of weight on me. I'm a shorter guy, 5'5, I weigh 183 right now. The most weight I ever was, was 190. Last time I checked body fat it was 14... the range goes from 14-16.... 27 years old. I know that in the past I've built workouts that weren't very effective. I fixed a lot of the errors in the recent years and feel that I've made some great gains, but my shoulders need to catch up for sure. Tel me what you think of my shoulder workout:

Front Raises 5X5
40

Side Raises 3X8
27.5

Back Raises 3X8
27.5

Presses 3X8
45

Shrugs 3X8
60

are you using dumbells for presses or bar? what press behind neck, arnolds (KICK ASS), militery? Ans shrugs the same dumbells, bar, front or behind?

A few of the guys are gonna say to drop the raises. Personally id increase reps on your raisees and drop the weight, if you trying to go heavy theres no need its more of a sculpting movement than a builder. I tend to run raises in the 15RR tends to work for me.

I personally think that is over training them but some may disagree. I believe in the shoulder like the bicep and triceps, it is a tiny muscle and can be overstimulated easily. I think that may happen here. Lots of times when people can't get something to grow they try to add more sets or exercises and go in the complete opposite direction. Maybe just presses and side and back raises by 2 sets instead of 3. Do shrugs with back and also don't forget front delts get lots of stimulation on chest day.

definitely too much volume bro. Crank up the intensity and do your presses and shrugs up front not at the end. Upright rows got my shoulders very big. I almost look silly im very top heavy even though legs are strong. At your size I would limit yourself to like 7-9 sets.

If you real quick results you could always o the triple drop, Arnies favorite. Superset machine press, then upright row then do some side laterals. You will be feeling that for sure. Remember to mix shit up shock the muscls from all over the place.

Just counted thats 17 sets unless your on an outrageous amount of gear even then thats way too much.
