I've been hitting the gym on a regular basis for just over 7 years now and making fine progress... except for my shoulders and bis. They just won't grow! My strength for both is slowly, but surely climbing, but not nearly as fast as my legs, chest (& triceps) or back. On shoulder / bicep day I will typically do any combination of the following:
-- barbell shoulder press
-- dumbbell press
-- lateral / anterior / posterior raises (barbell or dumbbell)
-- upright rows
-- shrugs
-- "the rack" for lateral raises
Biceps:
-- heavy barbell curls
-- heavy dumbbell curls
-- reverse curls
-- hammer curls
-- lying down (on the incline bench) curls
-- "the rack"
-- ez curls
-- cable curls
-- concentration curls
i'm using heavy weights as much as possible, but i do use light weight once in a while... and no, i dont over train. i give my muscles plenty of rest. what am i doing wrong?? what works for you guys??
