Can't go wrong with pressing mate. DB seated overhead are great, but i love the standing barbell military press. 2 sets of lateral raises if you love it
I don't do a 'shoulders day' since i'm a real man
but the closest thing would be my military press day, has worked a treat even though I don't train for size etc.
But seriously it tickles me when I see a man that only believes his shoulders are just that little muscle at the front.
Nothing looks more impressive that seeing that rear deltoid cutting across the tricep.
Look around your local gym and see the under development and the poor posture (shoulders slumped forward) resulting from spending too much time on muscles only seen in the mirror.
More often than not Graham, that problem can be resolved by changing the position of your hands.
Holding a barbell opens up the shoulder capsule which exposes weakness.
The remedy is turn the hand anti clockwise so they are facing each other, one reason why the "log-press" is very popular.
Another plus also for using dumb-bells.
ages ago when i was coming back from a groin injury i used to do this excerse where i would lay flat facing down on an incline bench and pull up a bar...i was doing it like a row but after a few onths people started tellin me i had really good rear delt development..but ive never had good shoulders in general...but hopefully i will soon!
When I started doing Fadis full body program 3 times a week I was doing behind neck press as the main shoulder exercise. My shoulders got bigger than they ever had before over a 6 month period. Just eat big and lift big and you can't go wrong.
The longer you train with a full body routine the more you understand lifting isn't complicated, its very simple but takes a lot of hard work
