Deltoids

What are some effective deltiod exercises you can do with a weight bench

 

[DJBen]

Screw that.

Handstand Push Ups
Standing Military Press
Lateral Raises
Bent Over Lateral Raises
Front Raises
Arnolds.

Take your pick.

millitary / arnold presses usually give me the best results. if you want an overall delt mass, also add in side laterals. the middle lateral worked out my side lateral raises is the biggest one, and is the one that gives it the big look.

don't worry about front lateral isolation exercises, you will work them out plenty from millitary presses, and your chest day exercises.

as for rear laterals, feel free to add them in, a lot of people neglect them.

rear delts can really bring out the shape in your shirts, and make your shoulders all they can be. Do some bent over raises, incline rear-lat raises, etc...

thanks guys.. Should i do delts with my back? Or...?

 

[MindOverMatter]

I do traps + delts on a seperate day, since it's always been one of my weak points

Most shoulder exercises fall into one of two categories: Pressing movements and lateral movements. Try for 3-4 sets of each different type.

My shoulder routine is as follows:

day 1- Military presses: 4 sets, bent over laterals: 4 sets

day 2- Upright rows: 4 sets, side laterals: 4 sets.

Also, stay away from presses behind the neck. They tend to cause shoulder problems.

When you do side laterals, use good form. Don't throw the dbs up. As you raise them, lower the front part of the dumbell, just as if you were pouring a pitcher of water.

I also recommend doing traps as part of your back workout.

You do your back two days.. Why is that?

I don't do back 2 days. Those are all shoulder exercises that I just described. OK, well maybe the upright rows hit the traps as well as the delts.

I've always trained traps with my back. In just about any sort of back exercise, the traps are involved. Even deadlifts hit the traps.
