Shoulders

Monday, November 29, 2004 2:27 PM
Has anyone felt their shoulders being sore? I work my shoulders out hard but they are never sore, at least i dont feel it. It kind of feels like shoulders arent the kind of muscle to feel the soreness. Thats the only muscle group I dont get sore on or at least dont feel the soreness. Do you guys feel the soreness on your shoulders?

I've felt my shoulders get sore in the past, but that was when I was doing ridiculous high set workouts, and I never saw any real gains from them. Now, hardly anything gets sore anyore.

Same thing goes with me. No matter how hard I work them, I'm never sore. I also never get sore calves, traps, or biceps. Kind of odd, but I've been told that soreness isn't a indicator of whether a work-out was good or not.

Soreness for me is how deep of a stretch I got. The only time my shoulders are really sore was when I was doing heavy decline bench press. The front delts were really sore. But that made sense. I got a deep stretch with a lot of weight. I look to numbers and how I did the week before to gague success. Granted, soreness indicates tissue tear but so does just doing better week by week.

Sounds kind of silly, but in my high school for our fencing training, we do arm circles. You would not believe the burn that I get from those cicrles. Try it sometime. Arms always above your shoulders, in controlled small circles (the circles made by your hands should be 3 inches wide): Arms out, palms down forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms up forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms down forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms up forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms forward and out (Like diving), meeting in front of you, palms down into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms forward and out, meeting in front of you, palms up into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms forward and out (Like diving), meeting in front of you, palms down into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms forward and out, meeting in front of you, palms up into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms out, palms down forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms up forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms down forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms up forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms forward and out (Like diving), meeting in front of you, palms down into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms forward and out, meeting in front of you, palms up into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms forward and out (Like diving), meeting in front of you, palms down into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms forward and out, meeting in front of you, palms up into the middle for 10 seconds away from the middle 10 seconds Arms out, palms down forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Arms out, palms up forward for 10 seconds backward 10 seconds Flex shoulders to relieve at end. If your arms ever go below your shoulders, you do 10 push-ups and start from the beginning. I've never felt a better exercise of my shoulders. Try it sometime, you maybe surprised as to how not easy it is.

Sure, you'll get a burn- But will it build muscle? Not really. It's great for stuff like fencing, where you have to be able to hold your arms in different positions for extended periods of time, but that sort of exercise doesn't really build muscle at all. It just helps the muscle deal with fatigue better. Still, my hat's off to anyone who can do it!

Actually, about the arm circles. I never really had a V-Shape. But after doing that everyday for a few weeks, my shoulders and my muscles conneting my side to my underarm have given me a difinitive V-Shape.
