The past two years I’ve really worked hard at building big shoulders and maintain an X frame by really working my deltoid muscles (anatomical name for shoulders) to make them round, dense and thick.

My favorite delt exercise for building big shoulders is Seated Dumbbell Presses and got up to 4 sets of 6 last summer with 90 lbs.

Anybody who has done Vince’s No-Nonsense Muscle Building program knows he likes stacking exercises as an advanced technique to build big shoulders.  One of the circuits is demonstrated below by Joey Vaillancourt who is one of the Biggest Gainer Competitors.

Check out Joey’s shoulder routine in this video… it’s a pretty brutal shoulder routine.

One of my favorite ways to train shoulder is with an old school shoulder blaster that you can watch in the next video below.  It’s pretty fun and very effective especially if you don’t have a lot of time to train.

5 Killer Shoulders Exercise for Bigger, Badder, Delts

  1. Front Raises
  2. Side Raises
  3. Bent Over Raises
  4. Upright Rows
  5. Overhead Presses

Notes to perform this shoulder routine properly:

  • Continuous circuit
  • 10-15 reps
  • 3 sets
  • 2 minute rest between circuits
  • Add 5 pounds each circuit
  • Start 5 pounds heavier each workout

Make sure you finish each workout by stretching your shoulders out after this or else you won’t be able to lift your arms to wash your hair or take your shirt off after this workout.

I m sure you have questions so fire away.  I want at least 20 comments from you guys on anything that has to do with getting bigger shoulders.  Don’t just ask questions but share what’s working for you to give you sculpted delts, whether you’re a male or female.
