Shoulder Workout Tips for Size (HARDGAINER EDITION)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

A shoulder workout for hardgainers must do more than just advise you to train heavy. Heavy lifting is important for hardgainers to begin to build muscle mass and size, however it isn-t the only key element of shoulder training. In this video, I-m going to show you how important it is to learn how to lift lighter on certain exercises and how to lift heavier on the right exercises, if you want to start adding serious size fast to your shoulders. Before even getting started however, one of the most effective shoulder workout tips I could give anyone (not just a skinny guy looking to add muscle) is to train shirtless. Now of course, this advise is best followed if you are training in the comfort of your own home gym! That said, many hardgainers find themselves in this exact situation because they feel self conscious about going to the gym and training in front of the much larger and more muscular guys. When you train without a shirt, you not only face your insecurities but you allow yourself a chance to watch your muscles as they work and use the visual feedback to more accurately focus your effort on the muscles you are actually trying to build. Let-s face it, if you are a beginner lifter or are not carrying large amounts of muscle you are likely not mastering the mind muscle connection with the muscles you are trying to develop. You don-t have the -feel- of what the muscle is supposed to feel like that you are training. Training shirtless allows you to watch the muscle contract and therefore tweak your form to enable a stronger contraction in the target muscles. When you do this, you will be surprised just how much quicker you can get that muscle to respond. Next, you will want to change the smaller, more targeted exercises (like the shoulder dumbbell side lateral raise) to lighten the weights that you are using in an attempt to feel more tension on the shoulders when performing them. This may mean that you need to put the ego lifting aside and stop being tempted to lift more weight than your muscles can handle simply because the guys around you are lifting bigger. Drop down and make the shoulder muscles do all of the work (using the one and a half rep style shown here) and you will feel an immediate difference. That said, heavy weight lifting is important for overloading the muscles of a hardgainer to build more muscle size and strength. Just be smart about the exercises you choose when doing so. To me, the standing military press is not the smartest or easiest way to get a hardgainer lacking the appropriate strength to get stronger. Likely, they are going to alter their form too much to accommodate a bar that has a fixed path rather than using a push press with dumbbells that allows

I have this struggle with gainings too. But in my case, I am between skinny and fat - skinnyfat as they say and that's what I think that that I am struggling with gaining significant mass of muscle. I've been working out in the gym for almost 6 months now and since I can't afford hiring a trainer, I've just been working out without a trainer. Would it be possible to gain muscles eventually even without a trainer? And what should I do to get rid of my skinnyfat physique? I would love to hear anyone's reply thank you.

I know this may sound dumb but I just hate being in the gym and flexing my muscles as I work out and being aware that people watch me. I know it's actually normal since I watch people, too here and there but I just can't think differently than expecting them to think somehow bad about me. --

Jeff, I had an AC joint separation in my right shoulder in high school. I find it difficult sometimes now at 25yr to do some shoulder exercises. Also, the results are somewhat noticeable in the other shoulder. Should I increase more sets/reps alone just for my shoulder? - Thanks man.

-Step 1) Train without a shirt in front of a mirror- - I don't have a mirror at home. I have a large doubled-paned window where I can see a doubled reflection of myself, but only at night time. At night time, people outside can watch me working out shirtless and facing the window.

Is the push press more of a tricep secondary motion, or can I incorporate it in with my bicep / back day? Also (I know I'm tardy to the party) Thanks for the tips and help throughout the years, always learning something from your vids. old/ and new.

Thing is with shoulders the muscles can't really move much and they're so dense it takes ages to tear them and they heal by the next day or two, I'm gona train them at home back to back cos going to the gym to do shoulders is taking too much time

Jeff is best of breed when it comes to putting on lean, athletic mass. But personally I think it might benefit Jessie to eat like gorilla and put on as much size as possible. Because with his genetics, it-s clearly much easier for him to shred fat
