It's no secret that upper body will always be my favorite workout. Shoulders being my very favorite.
In my opinion, well defined shoulders, specifically the delts, is a great measure of strength and fitness. This area is a particularly difficult area for me to build, as my arms are long. I envy all of the short women with shorter arms. Short arms = shorter muscles = easier to bulk. That's no lie.
Anyway, here is the workout I did yesterday morning.
Dumbbell shoulder press drop sets 25 -20 - 15 - 12
4 sets (8 - 10 - 12 - 15 reps)
Shoulder press on smith machine with 2 pulses at bottom 45 lb
Reverse Delt Flyes - 12 lb
Bent over delt raises - drop sets - (15 - 12 - 10)
4 sets
Strict Press on smith machine - 45 lb
Bar shrugs - 75 lb
Seated delt (lat) raises - 15 lb
4 sets
Cable lat raises - 10 lb
Cable Front raises with shrug - 7.5 lb
3 sets
Alt. arm lat raises - 8 - 10 - 12
DB shrugs - 25, 30 lb
3 sets
I have been making it a point to incorporate shoulder and glutes twice a week. One isolation day, and then I do a shoulder/glute day. Determined to shape up my slow-to-make-progress areas!
