 |
|
the title says it all..just wanna say this is my first thread and post here and i asked a friend for some good workouts and he reffered me here. seems verrrry useful.
anyway, i dont have a picture ATM but i will be getting one. When it comes to working out, i have 2, maybe 3 hard gainer spots :calves, delts, and maybe chest.
anyway my lateral deltoids are well built, but my body doesnt respond well at all to anterior deltoids, leaving the top of my shoulders really bony and square.
can anyone gimme some good excercises (i only have dumbells, but freeweight and machines would be nice because i hit the gym for P.E. at school) for the anterior's? my shoulders are really square and bony and ive been wanting to wear that sleeveless shirt but couldnt..
thanks. |

shoulder thing is probably genetic
either way best exercises are heavy bench presses (stay off machines too), heavy shoulder presses, push presses, chin ups, rows and of course deadlifts and squats...singel arm shoulder presses too as heavy as you can go |

Just to clarify...
If you have a Hammer Strength machine, it's great for shoulder presses.
Stay away from Nautilus type machines (the ones with a cam). Variable resistance machines offer no eccentric contraction of the muscle, so you miss out on half the lift basically. |
