hey guys. What are some good exercises to gain some size in my delts and lats i work them and work them they just don't seem to grow much if any.

I would say lateral raises for your delts, presses too. For your lats wide grip chins, low rows, lat pulldowns and t-bar rows are just some of many.

[Ilikehooters]

cool thanks been doin raises and presses guess i just need to up the intensity

[MiniArnold]

Whats your current routine for your shoulders and back including reps mate?

[Ilikehooters]

i do shoulders on same day as chest but i do them after
4x 10 raises
4x 10 press

then back
4x10 lat pull downs
4x10 rows

[Ilikehooters]

also some deads for back

[MiniArnold]

Try doing

3 sets of presses
3 sets of side laterals
some upper trap work like shrugs or upright rows
3 sets of rear delt flys

As for back try throwing in some wide grip chins, t-bar rows, dbell rows. All of these will add width and depth to your back.

ight will do for sure if i could get in the gym today the football team is lifting and that pisses me off grrrrr lol

[ZackKnight]

jesus... presses for delts for size. wide grip upright rows up to the bottom of ur chest for width in ur delts. rear delt work along with back work because u use them a great deal then... on ur delt day focus on presses and lateral head work. it'll be the most beneficial for you.

[Ilikehooters]

[Ilikehooters]

ya so i finally got in the gym today for shoulders... it definitely works they will be big in no time thanks alot guys.

Laterals don't do a whole lot of anything. Push press and dumbbell presses for delts and I like to throw in some BO raises for rear delts although those are also hit a lot on back day. The rears are hit from deads even and lat pulldowns

For back I like deads of course for back pull ups are good and wide grip lat pull downs are all great for that V shape. Worked great for me.

What makes you say that mike? Every bodybuilder ive ever known or watched e.t.c does laterals.

I also had the same thought. Why would laterals not do anything?
