      For shoulders I highly recommend standing barbell military press. Like most compound movements this will help increase overall strength and everyone knows when it comes to adding muscle compound movements is where it's at. These will be really tough at first, especially if you have a weak core but if you stick with it you will get stronger.

        I started to do one arm upright rows with DB's, after the 3rd set I'm done for. It just totally tops off my workout. So I'm started to throw more one-arm work into my shoulds and they're blowing up; good stuff

          amen , i havent done seated military in years... except for an occasional round with DB's... even than I usually don't use a back support type bench.

          it's fun to do partial cleans too. start with standing overhead presses.. do a set of the middle section, flipping the weight from the knee to your chest, than do a set of the deadlift to hip part... so you do the full movement but kind of isolate each section... i dont know, just something I do to mix it up every now n then

            I've always seens my shoulders as being my best body part. I started an olympic lifting class last week, and there's nothing like a good clean, pull, or jerk to make your traps and rear delts hurt in ways you didn't know possible. That, and they're great at building up flexibility and stength in your connective tissue.
            Wrist wraps fix everything.

              I've always felt shrugs were the most pointless lift ever...

              anyone agree?

              maybe its just cos i see college kids (twigs) doing them with like 400pd acting like its good form/work

                I Really feel it when I do my shrugs. How else do you propose I build my upper traps?

                    Wish I could do shrugs like that, my grip wont allow me to lift over 135 usually

                      i had the same problem but i bought those grip exercise things that look like two handles that you squeeze together and i also used the dyna-flex balls occasionally and my grip improved considerably. I was using 95 pound dumbbells before i stopped.

                            Am I a pussy for using wrist raps when I do shrugs? They sure help when holding pretty much anything.

                              Nope. i can always shrug lots of weight, my hands give out before my traps.

                                Shrugs = good grip builders, good compound work for shoulders, core, upper and middle back, and spine stability to a degree.

                                While I don't LIKE them, I feel they are of benefit. Another grip builder is farmers walks. Gotta go heavy though. That's another great compound exercise too.
