how do you program a week of workouts while including shit like "shoulder day". if you have more than one shoulder day a week then you are definitely neglecting something else and if you don't then you are only getting shoulder work once a week. seems like a lose lose.
I used to actually do this because it was convenient to do OHP after squatting but I only front squat now and save leg work for my leg day I do twice a week.
not him but i do something similar
shoulders, chest, tris aka push
back & bis aka pull
legs & neck
gym sessions last about 1.25 hours then i do cardio.
Less days means either longer workouts or a minimalist routine. Either of those are unappealing to me.
Close grip bench and heavy ass rows cover the shoulders adequately. If you do a shitton of bodybuilding exercises for them, expect to have ouchies that are only going to get worse as you age.
I work shoulders three times a week
I would literally sacrifice every other muscle before giving up my shoulders, they are what women notice most whether they even know it themselves
BASED anon knows. Don't even have to flex for them to check them, bad boys, out. I'm surprised how many people neglect them. It's like skipping leg day.
Ive been considering a ULxULxxx split with bench press/chest accessories on the first upper day and OHP/shoulder accessories on the second upper day (I do arms/back both days). Is this enough volume for shoulders/upper chest or should I try to OHP twice a week?
Are you a beginner? Upper Lower is not really an optimal beginner routine, it works best if you are planning to specialize in a certain lift so you would be doing OHP on both upper days just switching volume/intensity. You can still do that split but you have to choose what lift you want to focus on, bench or OHP, for better results.
>>Day 1 :Back biceps >>Day 2:Chest triceps >>Day 3 : Shoulders and legs >>Day 4 : Back biceps >>Day 5 : Chest triceps >>Day 6 : Shoulders and legs >>Day 7: rest >Repeat
Anon mentioned.
And I noticed my arms lacking as compared to the rest of my body.
So I increased their freq.
And I believe the extra arm day is addressing that issue.
But idk maybe I'll switch to ppl.
i actually lift isolations and accessory lifts >bis, tris, delts, traps, forearms, calves, abs
2 days for every 1 day of lifting the main compounds. Physique has never been better lulz
>level 1 delts >level 5 biceps >level 5 triceps
looks like a shit normie with weird arms >level 3 delts >level 2 biceps >level 1 triceps
"oh you look so strong anon, you must be working out"
indeed, you need to be a special kind of turbotard to not have shoulder isolations.
OHP hurts my back
Go light, Sir.
do lower back raises
Dp them sitting moron
Resistance bands and Lu raises are all you need for shoulders.
Do it seated with dumbbells, moron
>Shoulder day
Ngmi
What's wrong with shoulder days?
Nothing, he's a gains goblin.

Shoulder day is also leg day.
I used to actually do this because it was convenient to do OHP after squatting but I only front squat now and save leg work for my leg day I do twice a week.
Do two body parts per session.
Shoulder and back
Chest and arms
ppl
i do shoulders, tris, chest same day
back/bis/traps/forearms next day
legs third day
rest
repeat
Is it worth it?

back & bis aka pull

Zased
Need 2 shoulder days though. One for each

First off, bullshit, everyone who does that has tiny rear delts. Secondly, how is that supposed to grow the middle delts?
OHP and facepulls.too Boom, complete ahoulder workout
Has anyone ever actually injured themselves doing lateral raises with even decent form
Bare exercises are for the plebeians
Bro, I do shoulders every gym day. People actually go to the gym and NOT work their shoulders?
Why are you surprised? Most of them do Biceps and forget the sexy shoulders.
I work shoulders three times a week
I would literally sacrifice every other muscle before giving up my shoulders, they are what women notice most whether they even know it themselves
does having huge delts actually compensate for have short clavicles at a glance in the eyes of femoids
BASED anon knows. Don't even have to flex for them to check them, bad boys, out. I'm surprised how many people neglect them. It's like skipping leg day.
Shoulders and leg are really important for the women eye. Its weird how many people skip these.
Girls mirin?
Please don't tell me you've got an entire day just for shoulders...
>not adding shoulders with arm day
WTF
you might as well just do shoulders on push day because most shoulder movements recruit the chest and triceps to some degree
Torn rotator cuff
>Shoulders are pointless
Who the frick misses shoulder day? It's literally the most aesthetic muscle.
Some of us do. Not worth the pain.

work your chest and shoulders more than once a week if you want them to grow
Are you a beginner? Upper Lower is not really an optimal beginner routine, it works best if you are planning to specialize in a certain lift so you would be doing OHP on both upper days just switching volume/intensity. You can still do that split but you have to choose what lift you want to focus on, bench or OHP, for better results.
>OHP on push day
>5sets of lateral raises on push day
>6 sets of high volume face pulls on pull day
Idk I think that adds up to a decent shoulder day
Add in dips and pull ups and you've got a good workout
I'm a chins autist, I do them on pull day and sneak them in on leg day as supersets
Dips are taking a break right now
At least add in shrugs on ohp day then
Ok how's this for a routine:
>Day 1 :Back bicep
>Day 2:Chest tricep
>Day 3 : Shoulders
>Day 4 : Rest
>Day 5 : Arms
>Day 6 : Legs
>Day 7: rest
Repeat
WHY
Just do PPL
how do you do a ppl routine 4 days a week?
should i do push, pull, legs and pull again?
Extremely moronic
You've gotta explain why
But why not?
Training each muscle 2x a week is ideal for hypertrophy. PPL accomplishes this with adequate rest as well.
The thing is I used to train like what this

is it true women like big shoulders?
Yes.
2010 ppl thought those are big
kek
someone complimented my shoulders a couple of days ago so i've already completed the muscle group
if it was a guy it doesn’t count
it was a woman
nice
I go bouldering twice a week so I don't need a shoulder day in the gym
>level 1 delts
>level 5 biceps
>level 5 triceps
looks like a shit normie with weird arms
>level 3 delts
>level 2 biceps

>day 1: shoulders/chest +(core)
>day 2: back +(forearms)
>day 3: rest
>day 4: legs +(core)
>day 5: arms +(forearms)
i also train calves 2-3x a week
Hit 1RM OHP of 143 pounds last week, feelsgood.
