Focusing on shoulders
I am 21 years old and have been training since 2003. I have problem with my deltoids; when training, I can’t focus on them. I want to increase my shoulder size.
Lucky you. You’re young. It often takes years to accomplish the focus you are seeking. Try doing either presses or lateral raises for high repetitions — sets of 15 reps — to achieve maximum deltoid burn and pump. The pain will get your attention and you’ll discover the deltoids’ exact location.
My favorite approach to building big, strong and muscular shoulders is supersetting presses (front press, behind-the-neck press, steep-dumbbell-incline press) with lateral raises (side-arm or bent-over), performing 3 to 4 supersets of 6 to 8 or 10 reps.
Choose one or two combinations and practice them twice a week.
Do not hurry during your workouts. Think muscle and might.
Carry on with courage and intensity… Godspeed… Dave
