I’ve been trying to find a way to really hammer my delts, but whatever I do I can’t get any DOMS the next day. I know DOMS isn’t necessary for growth, but since it’s the only bodypart I don’t get it for it does make me think I might need to put more thought into why.
Currently I’m doing:
Chest/Tri/Calves
Back/Bi/Abs
Legs/Calves
Shoulders
Arms/Abs/Calves
Off
Off
And my Shoulder day consists of:
machine laterals, 4x12 ramping to top weight, then drop set
Partial DB laterals, 4x25 straight sets
DB rear flys, 4x15 ramping, drop set
Seated face pulls, 4x15 straight sets
DeFrancos scarecrows, 3x15 straight sets
DB Shoulder Press, 3x10 ramping, then another slightly lighter set then top set
BB Shrugs, 4x15 ramping, 2 drop sets
Cable External Rotate, 3x12 straight sets
My upper traps will usually be sore the next day, but not my delts. It’s hard for me to “feel” my side delts during movements, any tips? During my workout, after the partial laterals I usually have a decent pump even though I struggle to feel my side delt. Also after my rear delt flys my rear delt feels pretty worked and full of blood. The next day though, nothing.
Any changes I should make to my shoulder routine? Any tips to help feel my side delt more? I had a major wrist surgery that makes certain things (like the old “raise your pinky” cue for lateral raises) impossible, but usually I can find a workaround. I just need ideas.
