Heres a video of Flex Lewis and his Head trainer highlighting his recent shoulder routine.

Some interesting variations, especially the use of Rest-Pause I haven't used in ages- has me urging to go thrash my shoulders right now!

I've had good success using mega-drop sets (4-5 drops) on lat raises followed by higher rep (12-20) arnie presses- while backing off overhead movements (mostly due to some niggly pain) most of this year with pleasing results. This looks the ticket for my next 4-6 weeks.

What ya think?

That said, shoulder raises are hard to load up, and sometimes sloppy form is needed to get the job did. If it's overloading the muscles, does it really matter?

It's not like you get form-points for keeping it perfect

needa find the balance between good form and good weight.

i only see perfcect form in instructional vidoes with people using baby rattles.

“This brings key areas of his deltoid into play. Because even though there are three heads in the area, you want to make sure that you’re stressing every single one of them.”

i found this funny

[Riccardo]

Deltoid while not having 3 heads does have seperate components so I get what he is talking bout. Both the anterior and posterior aspects of the deltoid actually join onto the tendon in a fashion that is known as a multipennate muscle. This kind of muscle responds best to varying angles and degrees of stimulation as the motor units within this muscle have a large range physiological properties between each unit.

Yaaawn
