When body building, How do I target my outer deltoids(shoulders)?

June 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Body Building Exercise



I do Shoulder presses with massive weight, front and side straight arm raises, and even shrugs. But I am still having a hard time getting that pump I want. Any new exercises would be great, thanks.

    Lateral raises are probably best..
    you can’t really get a very good pump there anyway make sure you’re doing 8-12 reps per set..

    Try doing high reps and lower weights. Most people are looking for strength and size and lower reps and higher weights are usually the answer, but sometimes changing it up can break you through that plateau. Try dropping your weight by about 40-50% and increasing your reps by about 250-300% and keeping the same amount of sets….THEN TELL ME YOU’RE STILL NOT GETTING GOOD PUMP!!! (Adjust this according to where your body responds…You will find it, if you are going in this direction.)

    Some of your question makes me wonder if you are speaking of the lateral head of the deltoid or the deltoid itself. Shrugs do not work the deltoid, but the trapezius. If it is the deltoid as a whole, try Arnold Presses. (The extra range of motion may do the trick.) If it is the lateral head of the deltoid, make sure you are completely upright in you lifts (the elbow raising directly toward the ear) and not leaning forward or backward. (These two variations affect the anterior and posterior heads of the deltoid.)

    Feel free to contact me, if you have further questions…
