low volume shoulder training

[Conan21]

I have recently switched my routine to more of a low volume workout. I have made some good progress in a very short period of time, especially in strenght.

However, I think i could be doing my shoulder workout better.

I was wondering how those of you that following HIT routines, Doggcrap's program or any low volume routine do your work set. For shoulders i just don't feel i taxed the muscle enough off a straight set. I sometimes do drop sets and rest pause sets but don't know if this should be done every workout or every other or what not.

for shoulder press. I normally perform 3 light but ascending warmups and then one all out workout set.

Some times you cant feel the pain or the pump but remember you only need the stimulation to growth.

...

i do DC's routine with one exception..

i added DB laterals ontop of whatever shoulder pressing movement i am doing..

and i rotate Rest pause...between them

so if i rest pause my pressing this week i will straight set my laterals afterward....

the next workout i will straight set my pressing and rest pause my laterals..

hope this helped..

sounds like a good idea G E R M

Me too

I use a method similar to DC's.
The bigest difference is I cover my body in 3 days, then 1 day off and ALWAYS take Saturday off for sanity. That works out to cover my body twice in approx 8 days.
As for the sets, I use rest pause just like DC describes. I do the bigest muscle group first, working from the center of the body out. I always use 2 exercises per muscle group and it seems like using 3 for the smaller groups works for me too. (Bis, Tris, shoulders0

For shoulders, I've found that low volume works best b/c they are also hit hard on chest day. I work each muscle group once a week. I do 3 warmup sets on the behind the neck HS machine and then only 3 real sets with a drop set after the 3rd one. Then I do 3 sets of cable laterals for width. I usually skip shoulder day every 3rd week or so in order to give them extra recoup time. I've tried every imaginable program and this is what worx best for me.
