ripped shoulders

Anyone got any advise on how to make your shoulders stronger. I have some idea on what to do, but not enough. I am a gymnast and want to get and iron cross.

can you planch if your a gymnyst?

planching gets you strong shoulders, back and lats.

military press, dumbell and barbell,dumbell lat raises front and side.

Arnold presses

1. Seated position
2. Bend arms in in a V position with Dbells in front of your face, twist wrist so that palms facing in.
3. Start movement, twist wrists to so that palms face out and widen arms with dbells to the outsides of your delts .
4. Push dbells up to just before elbow lockout.
5. Return to seated position, reversing the movement backwards.

If you can visualize that, that is an Arnold press. There are different variations of it. But that is the simple texted layed out terms

Bradford presses!

Bradford presses look pretty nasty, definitely gotta try them.

**chrispghmuscle** · 12-20-2007, 06:43 PM

Bradford presses keep constant strain on the muscle..

**mr_bhana** · 12-21-2007, 10:47 AM

they are nasty, try this, superset heavy lateral raises with strict from and them jump on to bradford presses... its hard with the bar lol, 1 rep is front and back

Thats gotta burn! a 10 rep set must be pretty nasty. Bahna with what you just said + ARNOLDS. Now thats a shoulder workout!
