My shoulders and triceps are underdeveloped compared to the rest of me and I want them to catch up quicker.
Is it ok to do say 10x5 lateral raises and 10x5 skull crushers every day after my main workout?
I go to the gym 7x per week and do PPL and in the mornings I do a form of cardio until I burn 200 calories, it's usually the stair machine or treadmill whichever is available.

Fuck skull crushers. They don’t provide much movement at all. Standing barbell tricep extensions are superior. Coming in second are one arm seated DB tricep extensions. As for shoulders military press. If you do choose to do side lateral raises bend your elbows 90 degrees. Add front DB raises and alternate them. In my experience smaller muscle groups like more reps than larger ones. 8-12 rep range.
your shoulders can handle a ton of volume but your triceps less so. if i really hammer my triceps then they wont feel right the next day.
Do overhead press sitting down for triceps, I have the reverse problem of you. My triceps are defined and shoulders are rounded. I'm lagging in the ab department, Like I have abs, just not the kind that pop out. Pic is from a while a couple months ago so they're better now, but still.
I do skull crushers lying on the bench and I hold a plate instead, I find it hits the long head of my triceps a lot better that way.
I do single arm bent-over cable tricep extensions with the rope and that hits the other two heads, I've never been a fan of French press or tricep anything with a barbell.
With shoulders I'm looking to grow my side delts and I usually do them one at a time with cables or holding a pole and leaning slightly to one side.
weighted tricep dips for manliness
Don't listen to this guy, skullcrushers are fine
Had the same problem hired a very very high end trainer who's done it all and been on every magazine cover . Now my shoulders and triceps are smoking every workout. I'd be happy to share it if you'd like
Greg Doucette, is that you?
Lol no my trainer is Gregg avadon but I'm not him just trying to help someone with the same issues I'm working on
Not OP but please do share
Overhead press and close grip bench press
Love to share it's been smoking me
Back and arms too
So with each of these workouts you'll go top to bottom through all the sets no rest unless it says too. These take 45 mins when done right and you'll feel it immediately.... The tempo is like this the first number is seconds in the contraction the second number is the pause the third is the concentric movement... Pull on bakc push on chest
This, but do overhead press sitting down. It's not only 100x safer and better, but you can overload the weight you can normally handle standing up.
Also recommend getting heavy dumbells (whatever weight is challenging for you), lay on the ground and hold the dumbells vertically over your chest, keep your elbows close to your body and push those dumbells up. Like this vid
That's me still working on those shoulders
you can do lateral raises every day but you should probably only do direct tricep work every second day
Much obliged user.
But wtf does Sets: 1+3 mean?
>It's not only 100x safer and better,
Yeah man I love compressing my spine against a seat when I OHP.
I don't know about you, but doing that shit standing hurts my back and shoulders. Sitting down, proper form with dumbells, shit has my tri's burning.
That first round is a warmup also so the +3 is your working sets
The 6p+15 is 6 reps with a pause then 15 normal...umm ya let me know if you need to know anything else wanna see how this works for others it's killed me
Bro your traps
Here's my trainer at 54 years old... Dude trains the rock too... No shame I'm mirning, dudes a giga chad.
My shoulders are monsters compared to everything else. I started working out following a guy's routine he wrote for me that was doing 3x6 in/out and 10/2 shoulder flies. That is all I ever did, but I did them every day to weight that was difficult to complete.
Not sure what some of these exercises are.
Sky Flys?
Dragon Flys?
Static Wing Holds?
Inverted Band Pull-aparts? (im guessing like a normal chest fly using a band with arms crossing)
>In/outs
>10/2 [etc.]
10x2?
What did he mean by this?
Shoulders are my favorite to work yet are lagging cause i live in shit state with all gyms still closed so i need inspo for non-heavy/barbell exercises
so sky flies are like this bring your arms in at a 90 angle at nipple level then go out and up like a press. Dragon flys is the same start point then rotate out into a W with your arms and engage the back delts. For the band pull aparts just invert your grip from the last set
Static wing hold are just arms straight out and hold the extra rep in it it's to roll your shoulders back and reset for the rest of it
