Hey what am I doing wrong??? I want the massive bowling balls for shoulders. Right now I haven't really seen any results other than I am getting stronger (More weight).
My routine for shoulders is as follows:
Shoulder Press
Arnold Press
One Arm Lateral Raises
Front Barbell Raises
Front Dumbbell Raises
Upright Rows
Front Presses on the Smith Machine (Just started doing these last week)

Do shoulders naturally take longer to develop???



Oh man I've come across this question so many times at the gym and I'm not gonna lie to you sometimes genetics for certain ppl allow the shoulders to come out first or maybe that is their strong body part but I can tell you the greatest success I've had with shoulders is not actually the different exercises although you definitely want to hit all angles of the shoulder and all heads. The key is that you might have to lighten the weight (in order to not hurt the rotator cuff) to actually break or expand the fascia of the muscle, that is the membrane that actually holds the shoulder muscles in place.

So take the lateral movement for instance, make sure you thumbs are point down whenever the lift is performed and take a half or more of a second to flex at the top peak of the contraction but take it to the next level, select a light weight maybe a 10-15lbs dumbbells and do each rep exactly the same for as many reps as possible and then repeat that for the next shoulder. Shoulders are weird because in order for them to grow you have to break or expand that membrane in order for the muscle to move outward and in the direction I believe that you are looking for. I usually shoot for 30+ reps and if I'm doing it to comfortably, it's time to increase the weight.
