I need some ideas for shoulder day


- dumbbell shoulder press
- shrugs
- reverse butterfly machine
- dumbbell raises (front & side)


What are some other good options?

Grab a 20 lb. curl bar. Raise it eye level, keep it raised and rotate it 90 degrees to each side. I do 3 sets of 12 to each side, so 12 to the R 12 to the L and then hold the curl bar eye level until fail.

We call it driving miss daisy.

If you have a hack squat machine at your gym you can also do presses on it.

Lateral raises but when you get to the top twist your wrists like you are pouring milk out of a jug.

Upright raises are great to interchange with side as front raises.

Military press
Arnold's (fricking animal routine)
DB flyes
And a random exorcise.

Sometimes do this thing where I'll lift DBs to my side, move them slowly in front of me and slowly lower it down, then the next one in reverse (start from front)

Squats.

Squats work everything.


And deadlifts too.

No need for that isolation junk discussed in the above posts.

Y'all work traps with with your shoulders? I do shrugs for traps on back/bi days.

Is it better to do traps with back or shoulders?

What ever you do, dont do barbell upright rows.

reverse butterfly machine


I'm not a big fan of machines for shoulders, you can replace this with bent over lateral raises or incline lateral raises to hit the posterior muscle.

Also the workout in this video at the 3:16 mark is a great one LINKignore advertisement for his product

Flip over tires. Start with bike tires and work your way up to tractor tires.
