www.LeeHayward.com This is a complete shoulder workout routine that targets all 3 heads of the deltoids. Seated DB presses for overall mass, then side lateral raises for side delts, bent over flyes for rear delts, & plate raises for front delts.
@cobyroberts1 Yeah doing the reverse flyes laying face down on an incline bench is a harder variation. I’ll sometimes include that instead of the bent over variation.
Great video as always. Quick question, for your bent over dumbell fly’s, I’ve found that using a incline bench and doing the raises that way gives a good muscle contraction. In that position, am i just hitting the lower area of my back and not the rear delts or do you think I’m getting both muscles?
@goodlife6942 shoulder tendonitis is the MOST COMMON you can have, dont force it because the pain will never go away. Stop training your shoulder, and by that it means stop training your chest as well. I find that when I do skull crushers I feel it a bit in my shoulder, so I stopped doing that as well.
After 3-4 days you will feel better,, put some ice on it now and then, rest and eat well, and take some anti-inflamatorry it helps (like advil).
@derekmichel It’s safe to say that most of the top pro bodybuilders are taking performance enhancing drugs like steroids. But you can still build an impressive physique naturally. Granted it won’t be “Ronnie Coleman” level, but you can still be built a heck of a lot better than the average Joe.
@leemhayward r most body builders on steroids or do we hav alot of natural bodybuilders???because im starting to belive most bodybuilders r on steroids. witch makes it seem lik it is impossible to get a body lik that naturaly. and i mean like ronnie coleman and arnold size….
need help as soon as possible i been working out for 4 years and lately i been feeling this annoying pain in my right shoulder when i bench or when i do any kind of exercise that consist of shoulder people keep telling my that i mess up my nerve but i doubt if anyone knows anything dont be afriad and tell me plox and should i keep forcing it or let it rest.
ah!! i hate it when people do not complete their words…what are delts?? lol, its DELTOIDS!! i know that you know this, but its an OCD thing. had to get that out there lol
@Mclovinhefner Start off light, do 2-3 progressively heavier warm up sets until you are up to your top working weight for the exercise. Then keep that weight for 3-4 sets.
@fuzzb0y Chances are it’s a combination of both… If you are 145 pounds then I would assume that you are pretty small all over, not just your shoulders. The key is getting bigger and stronger all over. As your chest gets bigger so will your front and side shoulders because they both come into play for a lot of exercises. The same with your back, as it gets bigger so will your rear delts and traps.
im 18 and i push the heaviest weight i can because unfortunately im very impatient when it comes to my muscle development, and i was wondering since i push 70 on each arm for shoulder presses with a max of 8 reps is that too much strain on my shoulders because the burn i feel i want to make sure im not over doing it.

@nerdflanders8710
I’m 5’6″ tall.
How tall are you Lee?
@wackerguy
There are 3 heads to the shoulders, the front, side, and rear. The bent over dumbbell fly works the rear head of the shoulders.
Hi. The third exercise you do ? Where does that hit the shoulders ? I thought that was more for the back ?
You just earned a subj.
Great video.

Thanks for all the info man!!

@leemhayward is it a good idea to uyse it with small muscle groups too ?
@leemhayward okay, my bad. just thought so. im natural as well =)
@leemhayward Nice to see a youtuber replying to comments on older videos.
@wubs23
I’m a natural bodybuilder, how about you?
@Mclovinhefner

@hiprobhop
It’s an awesome routine, I use the 5×5 set and rep pattern for a lot of big power exercises.

@leemhayward ohh thanx anyway.. I have one more question what do you think about the 5×5 workout??
