| Making Progress | Seated presses are the best movement. If your lower back is giving you gip you're probably using too much weight and slipping on form. My shoulder routine is as follows: Monday 3x4-6 reps of seated BB shoulder press Thursday 3x10-12 reps of seated arnold presses You could also ass 2 sets of side laterals on mon and 2 sets of rear laterals on thursday if you wanted. They arent needed at al though. |

If I am pressing really heavy dumbells then I use in incline at about 80-85% to the floor. I also swear by upright dumbell rows for growth of the medial head of the delts, they also brought up my traps better than any shrugs (I no longer need to do shrugs as my traps are perfect ) J ______________________ 50% of Training is nutrition 50% of Training is not overtraining If you cant gain see the above. |

Good movement. J ______________________ 50% of Training is nutrition 50% of Training is not overtraining If you cant gain see the above. |
