Hi,i have a question...how much weight u recommend for beginner like me??
After you have spent several weeks getting used to the routine of lifting, and the exercises, I would start adding weight regularly. You want to get to the point where you are lifting as much weight as possible for a given rep range.
70kg 173cm
is this good for a weak shoulder?,, i always have a discomfort with my right shoulder when doing Lateral Raises . I have good form and I use the lightest weight I have at home.
If you experience a discomfort when performing isolation shoulder work, I would stick with overhead pressing movements and possible upright rows.
Good day, Steve! I want to gain the strength of my shoulder but I have dislocated shoulder, what shoulder workout should I do? THANKS in advance.
Hi Cidro,
Have you been treated by a doctor?
Yes, Steve.
What advice did the doctor give you? Did he limit your lifting of heavy weight?
I would start with some form of overhead press...dumbbell or barbell. use a moderate weight, and push for 3 sets of 10 reps. Slowly add weight over the weeks when you can.
Hello Steve,
Im a competative swimmer and id like to have bigger arms and shoulder how many weeks should i do this routine? and should i push for more weight every set or add on every day i do this?
Hi Keith,
Definitely push for more reps/weight using good form. That, along with a good bodybuilding diet is the key to progress. Here's an article that might help:

Thank you very much for the article
Hi,
I have a rotator cuff tear. My doctor had prescribed a 6 week Physical Therapy. I have completed it. But I am still apprehensive about lifting heavy weights over the shoulder. Is there any way I can still strengthen my shoulders. Apart from upright rows, can I do some other excercises?
Hi Vignesh,
I would probably suggest asking this question in the forum. I don't have any practical experience with recovery from injuries.

Hello,
I'm trying to put together a weekly routine: I want to workout monday, wednesday, & friday while targeting 2 muscle groups on those days. I was thinking back & bi's one day, shoulders & tri's another, and then chest & legs. Would anyone recommend different combinations or am I okay? Thanks.
Hi Shane,
Your approach is solid as long as you keep your pushing days - chest and shoulders/triceps - on Monday and Friday to maximize tricep recovery.
hi steve,
Is there any substitute for dumbbell lateral raise?
Hi Mujeeb,
I would recommend using a seated or standing military press.
hey!
I've been doing hair for 11 yrs, and my shoulders are starting to roll forward. Doc says "get to the gym"! HELP?
Hi Vickii,
Do you have any experience training with weights?
How can I get strength to lift heavy weights when doing side lateral raises?
Hi Amos,
Side lateral raises aren't really a strength movement. Focus on performing quality reps, and doing as many reps as you can. That's all you can really do.
how many weeks
Hi Jay,
You can run this a minimum of 8-12 weeks or as long as you are making great progress.
hi at the moment im trainin my shoulders by doin military press , dumbell press, side lateral, reverse flies, and upright rows all for 3 sets . is this ok for buildin muscle and strenght thanks
Hi Thomas,
That is a sound approach.
hey how many times should i do shoulders ?
I have pinched nerves in my neck causing my left shoulder to be weaker than my right. I need to get size and strength back in the left. Should i work the left more than the right or go ahead and work them together? Thanx

Most any shoulder workout on M&S will serve you well.

hi steve
i have been doing bicep excercises for a while now and its gotton to the point where my biceps are the same size as my shoulder . do you think you could give me some advice on one arm at a time excercises?
P.s. i only have 3 dumbbells and none of them are the same weight so I usually use a 20 pound weight ..could you help me out please?
Hi Aadil,
I recommend seated one arm dumbbell presses. Use your other arm to grab a hold of a rack and stabilize your body. This is best performed with some sort of back support to aid stability.
Sooner or later you will need to purchase more weight. Progression of weight is the real key to making gains.
I started working out doing pushups, dips, pullups about 7 months ago, but for the past 2 months I have been combining weights as well. For example I will do bench press followed by pushups, the following day curls followed by chinups, the following day back arm with dumb bells with dips and then on the fourth day shoulder excercise with weight followed by pullups. My question is with this type of routine is this productive as for me or am I setting myself back?
Hi Jay,
It can be productive. hard work almost always pays off. With that said, it's never a bad idea to check out some of the structured workouts on the site and see if you can learn a few things.
Hi Steve
After spending alot of time in the gym finally, I came up with a regular workout routine. Just wanted to ask you if it is ok to train chest and triceps on the same day?
Thanks Heaps
Absolutely.
Hey Steve,
I am a beginner and I come across all of the beginner workouts which is on this website. I am currently doing these routines at the gym and wondering How long should I keep up these routines and how often should I change the weights?
After a while, is it okay to change the exercise but stay with the same sets and reps. or change sets and the reps but stay with the same exercise?
Many thanks,
Dale.
Hi Dale,
You can continue to use these workouts as long as you are making good progress.
As far as weight, using good form, always push yourself on every set. When you can perform the recommended number of reps for a set, add weight.
Hi Steve,
How many sets in total per body part are enough (1 body part per week) and how many times should I workout my abs in a week?
Cheers
I generally recommend no more than 15 sets per large bodypart per week.
Abs can be workout 1-3 times per week.
how much rest between sets?
Rest about 90 to 120 seconds between most sets.
Hi Steve,
I work out 6 days a week. My routine is 30 mins of cardio for all 6 days and work out 3 days on chest ( 3 excersises 3 sets ) 3 days on shoulders shoulders ( 4 excercises 2 sets ) 3 days on back ( 3 excersises 2 sets ) 3 days on biceps ( 3 excerises 3 sets ) 3 days on Triceps ( 3 excercises 3 sets ) 3 days legs ( 1 excercise 3 sets ) 3 days abs ( 4 excersises 3 days )
I combine Chest with back and triceps in these three days - and shoulders with biceps and legs and abs in the other three days. I use relatively lighter weights.
I have three problems - My capacity in lifting weights increases but my body does not get into the appropriate shape and I dont find any reduction in my weight.
I understand its a hugh question i posted however i request you to please suggest me a workout routine for 6 days as I can see many work out plans in the site but unable to understand how do i combine different areas on a single day. My height is 5 feet 9 inches and my weight is 80 kilos
You want to focus on two things to maximize results:
1) Pushing yourself in the gym. Using good form, always push yourself on every set. When you can perform the recommended number of reps for a set, add weight.
2) Eat to maximize muscle gains. Here are some articles that can help:

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your response. Will work on my diet. Can you please tell me is my work out plan which i mentioned previous is fine or am i being too ambitious on buliding muscles. Would you recomend any changes to it.
It should be ok. I might suggest exploring some of the other 3 day workouts on the site to see if there is anything you can do to refine your approach. It may be more beneficial to work shoulders with chest and triceps.
