| Registered User | i actually really like any kinda clean for shoulders, but i've been partial to O lifts lately, cuz there really helping me build explosiveness, which helps with powerlifting also. dont know if ur pure bber, or like me a power bb'er, but if u r like me, u will definitely love the O lifts, especially cleans for shoulders, of course most cleans work more than just shoulders though. |

Shoulders do not need a lot of sets, and can be overtrained more easily than any other muscle group. But you have to hit the delts from every angle, so just drop the number of total sets, and warm up thoroughly to prevent rotator cuff injury. A lot of pros, like Jeff Everson have totally detroyed their rotator cuff integrity from years of doing heavy benches and military presses. I do: lateral raises for middle delt bent over laterals for rear delt (overlooked by many as msclbldrguy pointed out.) military press for front delt I do 3 sets of 10 reps and sometimes 4 sets for rear delts. I do military press last, after I have warmed up thoroughly, as this movement is the hardest on rotators. And if I run out of steam, or feel a bit sore, I skip the press, as the front delts are engaged by a lot of other exercises, like dips and incline press, so they never seem to lag as much as rear delts. | |

| | Try and keep away from machines that do shoulder exersices. In fact stay away from all machines unless thier involved in super sets or something. U want to try and train with free weights. Why? Cos their the best and put on mass muscles Yea! ![]() |

| | Oh forgot, Dumbell press is one of the bests besides the bar press which is the same thing except with a bar. |
