Kira Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Some smart guy jammed the lat pull down machine at the small gym at the apartment complex where I live, and the same weight disks that were jammed happen to be linked to the shoulder press machine as well :/ So yeah, I need some dumbbell exercises for my lats/shoulders while I wait for the machine to get fixed.. Previously I would never touch free weights for my shoulders, but people have to adapt sometimes. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmiller Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 My summer workout routine includes a reversed grip (palms facing out), bent-over row and a dumbbell shoulder press. and lovely pull ups. Winter workout is a little different and it escapes me at the moment what exercises those are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Also One armed dumbbell rows and front/side raises. But yeah, can't beat shoulder press and pullups as already mentionned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scobra Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Like everyone else said I would start with bent over rows and DB military press. But I would also recommend, if you can, do pull ups and head stand push ups (those will kill your shoulders). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardn10 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 You might grow more. Wish I could do shoulder presses, but years of shoulder injuries keep me from doing those. Luckily you can all the shoulder development without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiesasquatch Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I don't like to use a bench to do one arm rows. I like to find something slightly higher than my wait or level with it & steady myself with my free hand. I then go with a wide stance as I find this stretches the back more. A good burn out for shoulders & traps would be doing up right rows with a wide, medium & narrow grip. Fail one grip, rest set for the next grip & keep going to you hit all 3 grips, That's one set.

xllx Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The single most crucial exercise for gains for my lats is weighted pullups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
