How do I get big shoulders like this? I know he's not natty but is just roids? Those things are near as big as his pecs! What exercises should I do to get similar shape/look, even if as a natty I can't be that size?

"Shape/look" are determined by genetics, muscle insertions, bones, proportions etc

>>76271462 (OP)
bench press

>>76271462 (OP)
You have to blast all your delts:
>front
>side
>rear

>>76271736
Just look up the best exercises for each delt and do them with progressive overload, just like any other muscle.

>>76271462 (OP)
>overhead press, both in front of your neck & behind it
>lateral dumbbell raises
>dumbbell "W raises"

Regardless of genes, everyone will look infinitely better trained vs untrained. You can't accidently have awesome shoulders. You have to work them correctly and keep all 3 delt heads proportional with each other so you don't look weird.

my side delts grew when i started ego lifting on lat raises. for me its 35's-40's and spamming/dropsetting until i couldnt so much as lift a toothbrush laterally. really could say this about basically every muscle group desu just go harder, heavier and further

>>76271973
yeah volume is king, with every muscle. work as hard and as long as you can, and pound down the food & protein shakes. It's not complex, just really challenging. More mentally than physically I'd argue.

>>76272009
the real hard part is after deciding to lift like that, the eternal struggle between wanting to power lift, volumemaxx, athletic-style force/power training. just tell yourself you can do the other styles of training after you hit a goal physique. My compound lifts have not gone up in quite some time with this approach, but boy has my body grown.

Can I do lateral raises and rear delt flyes one after the other? like finish a set of lateral raises then bend over a bit and do the rear flyes straight away?

>>76271462 (OP)
You have a lot of androgen receptors in your shoulders. They blow up as they are receiving as there is more shit giving out instructions to build muscle.

>>76271462 (OP)
Weighted pull ups

>>76271462 (OP)
>ritchson
was that before or after he started juicing

>>76272123
probably a good way to ensure youre not accidentally engaging side delts at all as theyll be burnt. Might consider this myself

>>76271462 (OP)
it's roids
>>76271746
>ohp for delts
lol

>>76271462 (OP)
Delts are among your biggest muscles by volume.

>>76271462 (OP)
It doesnt matter because you'll never put in the work. If you really wanted it, you'd already be lifting and not worried about some arbitrary timeline.
If someone does tell you a timeframe you find acceptable, you'll go the gym then quit in a few months when you see no progress and then go back to making "how to achieve" threads with a pic of Gooky the anime character waiting for someone to "redpill" you on how to get jacked without doing anything. loser

>Shoulder exercise
>Grows shoulders

Yes

>>76271462 (OP)
His mens health video shows him eating pie and raw cookie dough all day and fucking around on the cables for 20 mins per day. Maybe try that?

>>76272018
Bro this is so hard for me I keep planning routines in my head but I know to just stick with what I'm doing and don't worry about weight. Aaaaagh it's hard.

>>76271462 (OP)
If you have access to a real pool, learn to swim long distance.

Your shoulders will become boulders and then you also get the added benefit of effortless perfect posture.

Decent freestyle form takes maybe a few weeks to get down as second nature.

>>76271462 (OP)
Well you need to seriously train shoulders for a start. Doing a few half arsed sets of lateral raises at the end of your workout when you're already fatigued, as most people do for shoulders, just won't cut it

>>76274084
anybody who says this has a weak HOP
>b-but I press 135
exactly

>>76271973
why even try on lateral raises?
>way more injury risk if whatsoever heavy
>less gains than hypertrophy presses

>>76275796
>>b-but I press 135
>exactly
Probably 135 1 rep max too, and even then likely not even a full rep lol. If you can't do 135 for 10 you're shoulders are gonna look shit by default

It's same as the niggers with 200lbs max squat saying compounds are bad and you only get big on machines, yet they're not even big

>>76275796
OHP*, whoops
>>76275817
my shoulders exploded once I started seriously focusing on OHP and lifting heavier. I'm approaching a 185 for 3x3 and usually finish with back off sets of 135 for 3x10 as well as push press and press starts in between, fantastic exercise for growing delts

>>76275839
Based. It's crazy how adding what seems like a baby amount of weight can make it feel like 5 times heavier though isn't it? Don't know burger units but I'm making at 80kg now. I legitimately found adding 2.5kg to OHP harder than adding 10kg to bench

>>76271462 (OP)

Dumbbell flyes
Upright rows
Shrugs
Front rows
Overhead press

Not necessarily in that order but those are good lifts to start your journey to boulder shoulders

>>76275867
I have microplates that add up to about ~1kg and even that can be too much sometimes

>>76275773
>punished top g

like other anons have said spam lateral raises, i start when 20s and run down the rack til i get to 10s then you can just do the bottom portion for burn

don't neglect rear delts, you'll hit em on back day but i like doing facepulls above the head and reverse flys

front delts should take care of themselves if you do enough incline benching

>>76275374
Nobody except for 400lbs hambeasts can workout and eat properly for a few months and not see any results.

>>76276287
When doing face pulls, do you pull the rope to parallel with your head/neck kinda or go even further beyond?

>>76275796
What's the best approach on maxxing out OHP?
Less reps and more intensity or more reps with less intesity?
I can currently do 5x48kg with decent form, but that's it. Should I focus on doing like 35kg x 12?

>>76276287
Do I still need to do isolations on rear delts even when I do a lot of rows and chin ups? I've been lifting for around 7 months

>>76272123
you can do whatever you want
