What are the best exercises for increased shoulder mass? I would assume incline bench, shoulder press, upright rows, and cleans are the best?
If I had to pick only one exercise to do EVER, that would be a big contender.If I had to pick only one good exercise for shoulders it would be the Hang Clean & Press..
It wasn't until I started doing these that I started to develop that "capped" look to my shoulders. This is A LOT harder than regular side laterals, so don't be afraid to start out with really light weights (15's, 20's).next shoulder day i'm gonna start doing those lateral raises with palms facing backwards...never done them, see if I can get some more width..thanks sinner
Behind the neck is superior to in front (in my honest opinion); however, it becomes a case (as strength increases) where it puts too much stress on the shoulder joints. Since these are recommendations for a beginner, I'll say they're good, but be prepared to do something else as you get further down the line.Behind the neck shoulder press on the smith did wonders for my shoulders.
Yeah I limit the range of motion slightly by not going all the way down to my neck, I stop at about 1/2 way down my head where my ears are approx. But yeah I agree lots of people injure them selves doing this. I don't think a lot of weight is needed.Behind the neck is superior to in front (in my honest opinion); however, it becomes a case (as strength increases) where it puts too much stress on the shoulder joints.

can also kill your AC joints or rotator cuffs if you f*ck it up, smith presses have zero room for error and are not for novices IMHOBehind the neck shoulder press on the smith did wonders for my shoulders.
:goodpost:Arnolds.
B, do you put an emphasis on the turning of your wrists at the top and the bottom or just minor?:goodpost:
arnolds are awesome as there's so much time under tension with each rep
:thumbsup:
only minor if any actually but there seems to be many variations of the arnold press, here's a couple from you tubeB, do you put an emphasis on the turning of your wrists at the top and the bottom or just minor?
