Advices: Shoulders

Building 'A-Frame' Shoulders
Deltoid. That's what your shoulder is, a deltoid. Three deltoid's to be exact. The middle one inserts itself under your arm muscles and starts under the trapezius or traps, attached to your clavical. Developing your delts can be more important to looking good naked than other muslces depending on your personal tastes and individual body type. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Like I said, there are three deltoids, front, middle and back. I personally see the back deltoid as the most important muscle in my workout. The rear delt is the muscle that doesn't usually get any good miror time and so can be neglected or forgoten. Remember the rear delt is not your back, but a part of your shoulder. One's shoulders needs two qualities, it needs to have 'width' and needs to be 'thick'.

My shoulders slope forward instead of stick-out naturally to the side like many 'broad' guys. Therefore I will work the middle delt to stick out a bit with 'Arnold Presses' to increase the 'width' of my look (I also build my back and slim my waist to plus up that 'A-Frame' look).

There are two types of shoulder exercises (1) presses and (2) Straight arm raises. I do and have done a lot of presses, I mean to say, I've always done presses. Push-ups are presses! Push-ups work your front delts and incline push-ups work your middle delts. (e.g. clean and press, military press, machine press, push presses, standing lateral raise, seated side/front/bent-over raises, cable raises, et cetra).

I probably should have front loaded this, but the point is rear delts are my weak point. Being my weak point I front load rear delt exercises in my workout (the front point is pointing point...what?). I do this to get that 'thick' shoulder look from a side view. I do 'Lying Side Laterals' an exercise that Serge Nubret professed help him get his champion physic. (Lying Side Laterals can be done every day, like push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups).

Three Delts: I would say that shoulders are the most important muscle group to mentally focus on for three reasons.
1. everything else will work itself out - pecks/legs/back/biceps/triceps/blah blah blah-cepts - you got that.
2. shoulders are vital to Look Good Naked, they give shape and display your athleticism
3. shoulders are a literal weak point in people's body, therefore the more stregnth focused there will allow more weight and harder work elsewhere.

The third bullet leads me to my closing, which is a warning of how shoulders are worked. Many times the ol' rotator cup becomes injured and hinders work-outs. Don't become a victim!
-Work out with lower weight to avoid injury, which leads to...
-Do at least 4 sets (starting with less weight and more reps 10-15)
-Concentrate on full extention and muscle tention throughout the exercises
