shoulders and abs routine

[cobra26]

I'm about to go to the gym but I want to try some different exercises.

[Mr.X]

leg raises for abs

how about military press for shoulders? that's meat and potatoes for most shoulder workouts

[hanuri]

all kinds of crunches for starters. face down incl. laterals and seated lateral rises w db ´s + db shrugs for shoulders

[cobra26]

Thanks a lot

[hanuri]

when you get tired of these . ask for more :bigsmile

[cobra26]

I need more

[hanuri]

you bore easily :argh

[cobra26]

I was doing military press cuz I see better results than Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press. What about with cables?

[hanuri]

cables are an exellent way of giving continous tension for shoulder muscles.It´s more of isolation work but gives ém great pump anyway. one or two armed standing laterals , bent laterals .... remember good form.
