Back and soulders tip:

-Find out what your max weight is for 10 shrugs

- minus 50 lbs from that and do 20 shrugs

- stop, add 5 lbs and do 19 shrugs

- add 5 lbs, do 18

- etc, keep adding 5 and do one less until you down to your last shrug

- Do the last shrug with your max weight and HOLD it as long as you can.

- Intense, you should be burning and if you do that routine twice a week you will have great shoulder strength in a few months.
Try this guys and let me know if you feel the burn!! Also, it is only necessary to do one rep of this. The whole point of stopping and reducing weight is also to give your muscles that 20-30 second rest. Anyways, let me know if you try it.

how
good question. If you havent done shrugs before, or don't do them often enough to know, go by this. The usual recommened weight for a rep of 10 shrugs is half your body weight, give or take a few pounds. If you weigh 150, then try 75 lbs and see how you feel. Remember, the point is not to kill your muscles after 10 reps so go low if you feel overwhelmed.

I did 50 shrugs with 30 lbs, and it gave me quite the burn across my shoulders. Adding this routine to my daily repertoire.

I do my shoulders with my chest. I try to target my back on a different day than my shoulders so I don't fatigue as quick, giving myself a better chance. I don't know which days you do chest but I found it goes good with a chest routine.

alright, so i've been working my upper body mostly. Are barbell rows a good back exercise? What is the best exercise for back muscles, that you can easily do at home? And is it true that if you only exercise your chest/arms, you still won't grow any muscle there cause you need to exercise the entire body

edit: After I work out I usually feel tight for about 20 minutes, but after that any soreness goes away. I keep thinking that I'm not working hard enough, or taking long breaks in between sets. What should the break between sets be?

Yeah, I don't really have a set schedule for my workouts. Some days, I'll just do a bunch of pullups. Some days, I'll do a bunch of pushups. Some days I'll do a bunch of curls/dips. Some days, I'll do a mixture of all of them. I try to work out a little every day except for Sunday.

Try reverse sit ups for your lower back, hold a weight behind your head too if you want.

No, but remember your body is like a chain. As strong as its weakest link.

Right, so is this a weightlifting thread now too? Or still just fitness? (running etc)

On the topic of shoulder shrugs.. my shoulder workout exercises looked something like this today @ the gym:

Uptight Rows
Military Press
Lateral Raise
Shoulder Shrugs

A warmup set and then slowly increasing the weight usually works well for me, ie, today for my shrugs I warmed up with 15kg dumbells on each arm then just worked up to 25's. I'm all for high weight low reps - 3 sets of 4-6 usually does the trick.

It really is beneficial to get together a workout plan, my workout plan motivates me to finish my routine everytime I'm at the gym and not to slack, I just forget everything and lift. If you write down what your doing, how many, and what weight then you can focus to improve on that weight every week and make sure you're hitting your quota of sets every week to optimise muscle gain!

See, thats my point. A lot of guys mostly work their arms. Don't get me wrong theres nothing wrong with it, especially if you lift to look good and stay marginaly fit. If you want power and to be explosive and dominating during a fight you HAVE to work your back. Look at those UFC guys. Sure they have ripped arms but their backs are ridiculous. Your power comes from your center mass. Many martial arts are based on the principle of utilizing your center mass, as well as your opponents against them. If a tiny man can whoop your ass because he knows Aikido imagine what you could do with that same knowledege PLUS power. Work your back boys.
I do work my shoulders as well (weight room a few times/week), they're just not as strong. I can do 20 reps of 120lb curl, but if you put that on incline or shoulder press, I'd probably break my skull. My shoulders crack a lot and they feel pretty weak, I try to work them though.

I'm not overly concerned with strength training, I just like to stay fit. I don't plan in doing much past highschool except maybe some intermurals or playing the occasional round of golf.

who cares tbh, I for one, don't give a shit how many of whatever someone can do or all of that shit, it's not even relevant. I thought this thread was supposed to be some sort of advice thread anyway, not some e-penis thread

I don't care either. I just think it's funny that people try to impress other dudes on a game forum by lying about how many pullups they can do.

Its not like its impossible to do 25 chin ups...  I bet if I was your height I would only be able to do around 15, its just that I have short arms and I am densely packed.
