dude you need to be applying side raises to your shoulder workout. I always do dumbells and cable side raises.

Those seated raises I did were for the lateral part of the delt, I had 2 other people with me so I changed up what we were doing a little bit. I usually also do side raises, individually, not very heavy tho I just use either 20pnd DB's for 3 sets of 10 or I will do 15pnd 20pnd than 25pnd for sets of 10 each

I've been doing wide uprights and they've really been helping my side delts develop

No, it's something different, upright rows are when you have a barbell and pull it from your waist to your chest/neck. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I just have been doing them with a wide grip and it's been killing ym traps and side delts

go heavy with them.

go heavy with them.

I can't go heavy, I don't really feel the same contraction. I normally only go up to maybe 25# db's. I feel like a pussy using that weight, but I just lose all form going any heavier

 

[Metal85]

im tryin to add slowly to them, next week il bump it up

 

[The Dude]

I don't do any pressing movements. I do wide uprights where my elbows get just barely higher than the shoulder. Bar to my nipples. I go up to 225lbs for 12. On side laterals I do one arm at a time and with a 45* bend at the elbow I'll go as heavy as 95lbs for 12. The side delts are what gives width and depth to the shoulder.

Usually when I do standing upright rows, I kind of do a close grip hands about 10 inches apart, how wide do you go? I usually go a bit above nips too like more clavicular level, until I go heavier on the later sets athen I dont come as high. 95s are pretty freakin high for sides weww. Im strongest with my front raises, like I dont know too many ppl that can go up to 60s for seated hammer front raises at my gym, I love that exercise though(not saying its a ton of weight for u monsters out there but more comparetively speaking) Im doing pretty good on shoulder press but its alot of tricep in that movement so im hesitant on pushing it still, same goes for arnolds

 

[Metal85]

Oh also side note--- the shrugs are not hard at all with the weight im using, I have found with my body that I get the same results using that weight as I do going up to 130s, without the huge amount of spinal compression, so thats why I use that weight range.

Holy fuck, 95# side raises? Is that a 95# db? That's pretty impressive man. Now I really feel like a pussy doing 25#.

And on the wide grip uprights, I'll go slightly outside of shoulder width.

Thanks man, Il try the wider grip I'll see how it feels in the shoulders and elbows.
The thing that helped me the most with that exercise is when I was doing them and my friend told me "Make the movement as if strings were pulling your arms up at the elbow" it made alot more sense after that. I thought of one of those string controlled wooden dolls people would use in plays
