shoulder width?

[besoge]

Im having the hardest time getting wider shoulders. Thickness is no problem width is the issue. It seems like a lot of the time when I do lateral raises my traps come into play. Anyone have any tips of tricks on getting wider shoulders??

Emeric or someone posted a video somewhere in the correct way to do them.

If someone had it. I'd greatly appreciate it

I have been hoping if I get my standing fully extended over head press up high that I will have huge shoulders.

Last half of the video John Parrillo explains how to try to keep the traps out of lateral raises.

DUMBELL MILITARY PRESS
MAKE SURE TO HIT THE REAR DELTS AS WELL

When you do laterals, lean your head back so you're looking up. Also, don't try to "muscle" a weight up if you're going heavy...instead, do explosive partials. If you go lighter, slow the movement down and SQUEEZE the delts.

Thrash rear and side delts, try going light and move the position around a little bit untill you feel it in your side delts! it will give you that 3D look in your deltoids

What I've been doing is rotate my wrist where the thumbs starts and ends in the pointed down position. My pinkies if I were to flare them out would point to the sides. I keep my wrist locked in that position. Basically what I'm getting at is my hands are pronated in a locked position. I like to do swings like the rear delt destroyer but stand up for the medial heads. When I get down to the light weights like say 10lbs I try to go up where my elbow stops at my nipple level. The dumbell never goes above my chest. Since I've been training this way no more sore traps and my medial (side) delt kills me the next day in soreness. I was all front delts before. I even have a reconstructed left shoulder from having over developed front delts when I was teenager. Stay away from seated presses with a back support. I do my overhead presses standing (because men don't piss sitting down). I stole that one from Jim Wendler ha

Wide grip upright rows to the nipple line.
Scott db presses.

 

[enda]

upright rows are king for my shoulders.

 

[Simpllyhuge]

Upright rows feel like you took my arms off my shoulders and then reattached them and did a crappy job.

 

[link24]

Width comes from your rear delts, so do more rear delt variations and lift heavier on back day

I like Meadows rack presses when he presses instead of those behind the neck. Starts out as a front press but as you press through it shifts to sides.
