Article: Growth Factor Shoulder Training

The theory is that our deltoids have more Slow Twitch (type l) muscle fibers than the average muscle groups and they supposedly respond better to higher reps, than lower.

When I train my delts I use primary 16-20 rep range and for me it has provided the most success, in addition to decreasing my occasional shoulder pain.

If you think about it, you already indirectly train your front & rear delts with heavy low rep range, every time you train your back and chest, which targets your fast twitch (type II) muscle fibers.
 
He says a few things that are really deceiving and false. "If you add 100 pounds to your big lifts surely you'll add a ton of muscle mass."This is false. He talks about getting a pump to build muscle. There is nothing about a pump that builds muscle. He also states that Chinese Olympic lifters should have more deltoid and arm muscles because they can put 400-500 pounds over their head. First of all they might not be eating for that type of growth or training for hypertrophy like that. Secondly if you think someone is putting 500 pounds over their head at such a low bodyfat percentage and with such a small frame naturally you're beyond help and need to do more research.

Who are you referring to when you say low body fat and small frame?
 
I am always on the lookout for new ideas on shoulders. I tried super set #2 and #3 today. I did them after a set of seated behind the neck (BTN) presses. After reading his view on presses behind the neck I decided to do them again after many years. I always liked them because I can get my shoulders directly under the bar. Anyways, if I'm sore tomorrow I will be happy.
