you get 7 reps the first set and 3-4 the 2nd?i'd rest longer..also i've never done behind the head shoulder press i just would probably do normal ones myself..also when do you work your shoulders? if your working them with other parts of your upper body put them first so you are at full stregnth.

Dont do behind the head, you can injure yourself. Do normal overhead presses like connelly said :)

Ravenpt Dont do behind the head, you can injure yourself. Do normal overhead presses like connelly said :) please dont speak as if it was fact look if you do behind the neck presses (seated) you bring it down to your ear level and thats it no further or yes theres a chance of injury (because of hyperextending your rotory cuffs) do behind the head shoulder press - 4 x 8-12 side laterals - 4 x 8-12 rope pulls - 4 x 8 - 12 (stand with rope attachment pull rope to forehead ) also upright rows 3 or 4 sets same reps
bench - 305 lbs squat - 505 lbs dead - 550 lbs only with a belt i dont care for suits

There isn’t much that can be done if you have narrow shoulders. You can’t train out of your natural bone structure. You should train your deltoid muscles to add a few inches of breadth. You should avoid training your trapezius since the gradual slope from neck to shoulder in a well-developed trapezius will make the shoulders look even narrower. You want contrast.

thats gotta be b.s , i mean to be honest ive never acutally consistantly worked my shoulders , for the 1.5 years ive been lifting the first 6 months i was only working my arms and chest pretty much , and pretty much kept it up , i mean i would work out my shoulders for 2 weeks then stop for three cuz i didnt think they were important , ive been consistantly doing them for 4 weeks now , planning on switching the routine soon and never quitting , i mean , they gotta come in! ive i have always done them and they still havent come in then what u said would make sense to me
