Alright so as it turned out for me, I have really good muscle building genetics as predicted. I'm the best developed person in my entire high school at 17.
My only real weakness right now are calves (because I train at home) and shoulders. My shoulders are especially weak. I'm curious what kinds of routines and exerercises wouldbe recommended here for shoulder strength and size. Right now I'm just sticking to db and btn presses, arnold presses, and side laterals. Rear delts are just bent over rows.

Any truth to rumor that you go to a all girl's middle school? Another rumor is that's your home schooled by your mom. I can see why your the best build person, in either one of these cases. Keep up the outstanding results. Good Luck.

No offense, but you must go to a small high school, I remember the pics you posted a while back. Don't post "Alright so as it turned out for me, I have really good muscle building genetics as predicted. I'm the best developed person in my entire high school at 17" and expect no one to make comments about it. If you said that to me in person I would laugh at you. Instead, come here and ask a question. For example:
My delts are my weakness, what do you guys recommend?
Good luck and get huge! 8)

If you would give me your email address I will send you newer pictures. I can't post because I'm using my cell phone right now.

Clean and press some heavy dumbbells. Repeat.

Handstand pushups. Maybe not the exact translations, but
stand on your hands, legs up, usually people aren't able to do that, but you're young so learn it, meanwhile use a door or wall,
and do pushups.
Basic with no need of equipment. You can use some steady books or blocks of wood to raise yourself so you can get a larger rom. It gave me a great boost with neckpress, from 180 to 240 ;D

Sounds like a hard exercise those pushups.
Figgs could add in some hang cleans and regular cleans.

All I do here is ask questions to improve my training.
Handstand push ups are way too hard I can hardly complete one rep.
Clean and presses look fun. But the clean part doesn't look like it hardly targets shoulders so why clean and not just press? I know I'm probably wrong but this is where someone else explains it to me. And also, what's a hang clean?
-
you start with the bar across your thighs. and you clean it up. to shoulder leverl and you press it. if you just want to press it if you want to add more fun, do it like richard jones and when you have it presed overhead. press back like a bnp or a bradly press. if you want to just press then go with push press..
my shoulders grow when i throw out the raise4 and went with more power/compound exerises liek:
military press
upright rows -wide grip to hit the side caps
rear row- like bb row for back, but bring the bar to the upper chest.

Why don't u post something usefull? Instead of your usual homo crap u cock bag. LOL! You're a fool, and i bet u crave the attention that one of your older siblings got instead of u. Probably your sister, that's why u act like such a little bitch. Your new name is condom, hence the phrase "cock bag." I know u love it. U talk so much about cocks.

WTF,
of course it's hard. Everything is hard the first time. It hopefully doesn't stop you to keep trying. It's one of the best compound exercises available. It doesn't only build your shoulders, it's also gives a tremendous boost to your triceps.

1. Military Press (seated, to chin level in front) 3 sets 5-6 reps
2. Arnold Dumbell Press 2 sets 8-12 reps
3. Side Laterals 2 sets 8-12 reps
Add 5-10 pounds every week (especially critical on military press -- strive to get 315+ lbs. for reps as quickly as you can), eat more, and grow.

illiterate garbage that is hard to comprehend
okay
whatever you say

How do I include handstand pushups into my routine if I can hardly complete a single rep?
Hang cleans sound fun. I'm going to do them.
-
You don't,
If you train in the morning, try to do a couple before going to sleep,
if you training in the evening, try to do them after you wake-up.
It's an excersise you can compare with pull-ups and push-ups. Once you get the hang of it, you can go on for 10/20/100 reps without effecting your daily training.
-
Just be like that li'l old ant & keep trying to do them handstand pushups till you can. Same as the old chinup, lots of folks can't even do 1 but w/practice the reps will start going up.
