time for shoulders day

ez 5 plate hammer shrugs

think i'll go for a 6 and some plate 1r



if anyone is curious i'll post my daily workouts, in case you're looking for an alright workout
most days I do pyramid type sets, ex: 10-8-5-6-10 i actually try to increase weight on the 4th set (6rep) even if the last 1 or 2 reps are ugly

Shoulders:

Military press (behind the neck)
side/front dumbbell raises as a superset
reverse cable fly
hammer strength shrugs
kettle/db snatches w/ military press directly overhead as a superset - do these until failure x 6 sets


as a last workout if I feel like i've got a bit more left in the tank I go and do different pull ups depending on the day, shoulders i do a lot of overhand pull ups
reason for the pull ups was from mma training, this was a crucial exercise for gaining strength and reducing fatigue while in the clinch

I've never seen a real benefit to behind the head as opposed to in front with standing presses. Just seems more likely to result in an injury.

Yea it's more personal preference I guess

I've always done behind and no injuries

this video is so epic
