Here's my current shoulder routine:

Standing BB press
DB Shoulder Press
Upright BB(straight bar) row
Seated Bent-over Rear Delt Raise
Rear delt machine
Lat Raise supersets

Had some soreness (tendon soreness not muscle) 2 weeks ago, so I rested last week and I feel back to normal. I am 20 and lifting for mass. So please recommend what I should tweak to my routine, or suggest a new routine. I've heard that the BB press and upright rows are bad for you and I had ignored it till now. Starting to think that these may be the problem. Thanks in advance

My first reaction is that's a lot of volume focused on a relatively small muscle group.

If you had soreness in your tendon, are you doing anything for your rotator cuffs?

If you Google any muscle group followed by "excercises" you will get your choice of image charts like this:

I have foolishly skipped rotator cuff exercises (I've only been lifting continuously for like 5 months). I will start including them. Do you suggest doing them on shoulder day?

Sure, use it as a warm up before you lift.

Go with what bmath is saying.

Work those sits muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major and minor, and subscapularis)

Depending on your goal you could alternate bt bb shoulder and Db shoulder work each week. You can even do the Db or bb with one arm

Just make sure your chest day is on a day that allows full recovery from shoulders or its maximized

Crossover Symmetry


Can't advocate rotator cuff band work enough. If you lift heavy (for you) on shoulders and bench you WILL have rotator cuff problems if it is ignored.

The last thing you want to have to go thru is a rotator tear. While not excruciating pain, it will follow you for the rest of your life and Ultimately lead to permanent discomfort (without surgery).


Nothing worse than not being able to wipe your arse . Ask any former long time baseball player.
