How do I get my fucking mid delts to grow? >decent front delt gains from bench and OHP

How do I get my fricking mid delts to grow?

>decent front delt gains from bench and OHP
>decent rear delt gains from rows, face-pulls and band pull-aparts
>mid delts look like they belong to a 12 year old girl

I've been doing all kinds of lat raises: high reps, heavy, partial, pronated, supinated, with bands, super slow, you name it. Frickers won't budge.

Should I hit 'em every single day for ultra high volume? Wat do?

    Sorry bro. Nothing is better than lat raises for mid delts. Just keep doing them and pray.

      This. I found some success alternating between heavy with "bad" form (swinging a bit) and light with perfect form and holding at the top.

    I add lateral raises on leg day to get the extra volume. I think it helps, idk

    Also have recently been doing drop sets to try and really fry 'em

    lmao

    lateral raises are for homosexuals. you need two exercises for shoulders, heavy OHP and heavy shoulder press, dont exceed 8 reps. you wont be defined but your shoulders will be strong

    Cable lateral raises
    Also stop being a homosexual and actually go fricking hard on it. Shoulders are the easiest to grow

        it is easy as frick to grow delts, its just rare to see people actually hitting all three heads of the shoulder at the gym
        and obviously people will get really mediocre delts when they neglect them so fricking badly

      How do I get my fricking mid delts to grow?

      I've been doing all kinds of lat raises: high reps, heavy, partial, pronated, supinated, with bands, super slow, you name it. Frickers won't budge.

      Should I hit 'em every single day for ultra high volume? Wat do?

      The more I lift, the lower my lat raise weight actually got. I was chronically fatigued and had to change my entire approach to lat raises in order to maximize my benefit from them.
      This is something a lot of people don't understand.

      You use your front, mid, rear delt at some point for nearly every exercise on the planet. Do you squat? congrats you're using your delts for stabilization on the shoulder.
      Do you x, y, and z?
      Congrats you use your delts.

      So here are some things to consider.
      Is your form off?
      Chronic exercises change the shape of our body, are you 100% confident that your are not anterior or posture tilt on the lat raises? Which would effectively change what delt muscle is the dominate muscle.
      Are you also sure you have 100% activation and not partial compensation?

      You can get big delts with very very little weight. Anyone saying you need to go heavy is fricking moronic. It's a fast twitch muscle so yes it can respond to heavy weight, but it can also respond to burst movement.
      Train it as HIIT. Moderate, comfortable weight, good form, burst through, break.

        agreed, deltoid exercises is not meant for heavy weights but imo they recover really quickly compared to most other musclegroups so id train them "rigorously" rather than "heavy"

          somewhat agree.
          It's just not worth fricking around and finding out on.
          deltoids are the snap city of upper body muscles.
          You frick around and find out you use improper form once, just one time and push through.
          Bam congrats impingement, potentially never recover from. From what shitty movement.

          I never ever go heavy anymore with deltoids. You're either young enough for the risk to not be that bad or old enough for the risk of impingement to mean everything. Really no middle ground with delts.
          I've done a 700lb barbell calf raise and that was less terrifying than the first time i've felt a slight pop in my shoulder

            its just makes sense tbh, i can easily push 20kg or higher but i feel way greater pump around 10-15kg
            its practically impossible to grow more efficiently from something you get less of a pump from

            different musclegroups, different methods
            delts arent legs

        Took me a moment to realise why this would help but it seems like a good idea

          i usually hold the incline bench with my arms around it for balance like im holding a friend kinda(autism explainations but hopefully it gives a good idea)
          and also doing the same exercise for rear delts by arching? if thats the right word with the elbow to make more of a rear delt fly movement

    Try really high volume lat raises 3 days a week. Think of sets of like 20 to 30.

          They hit the serratus anterior and delts as shown in the pic, breathing and punching and throwing muscles.
