Best Exercises for shoulders
Hi, I my name is Dee, this is my first time to a forum so do not laugh. I have been working out for he past 15 yrs, & have gotten serious in the past 6 yrs. I am trying like crazy to build my shoulders so they look sculpted. I see some improvement but I want it to be obvious. I want that "cap" look. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have been drinking protein drinks for a few months and I am not sure if that is doing anything & I just started to take hydroxycut hardcore. I just want some ideas on which exercises,# of reps you recommend, and weight. Thanks for your help

Ok. I have exercise videos that I use mainly Cathe, and she has a tape that is called slow and heavy and she breaks everything down. As far as doing something on my own without a video I do not. I do use a barbell and hand weights, I do not go to a gym, I workout at home.

The reason that I asked what workout you do is so that it gives an idea of what you are doing at the moment...?? same with how often do you do the shoulder workout...?? |

normally at least 2 times a week. I workout 5 days a week. I rotate cardio with muscle building videos. I know you are not supposed to work the same muscle group 2 days in a row. But that usually brings me to about 2 x a week.

Hi...
Firstly have a look at This Article for a toning routine
Then have a look at This Section for advice on exercises.
Are you sure that your food intake is enough, or are you on a very low calorie diet that only loses muscle....lol |

And Dee, don't be afraid to incorporate any shoulder exercise that you think may be "for men", you do not have the testosterone that a guy has, so you will not get big and beastly.
(I didn't know if you were aware of that or not)
Also, change is a key ingredient when trying to get a muscle to grow.
You should change the order of the exercises, amount of weight and reps and even the timing of the motion...IE: 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down
Change about every 4 weeks.
