all the better reason for you to be READING, not advising.

I don't train front delts, they get enough stimulation from chest workouts
biceps and triceps are bigger muscles though
try your best to fully isolate the muscle you are working, and hit it as hard as you possibly can and get it fully exhasuted. train EVERY muscle this way.  you wont overtrain, just eat enough calories and protien and make sure you get at least one day off every week .

I'll try that our resident Expert  ;D
what type of volume do you suggest for muscle growth
my low volume high weight approach is NOT working  :o

depends on training frequency

if hitting once a week  then try 20-25 sets

if hitting twice a week try 10-15 sets

if hitting three times a week try 5-10 sets


that means for every 2-3 sets you have one set to failure ( drop sets count as one set)



theres a million ways to skin a cat

5right now i am training like this

chest bis tris
quads hams calves
shoulders back
off
repeat

everything twice a week, doing 3-4 exercises per body part with one or two warm up sets and one set to failure per exercise

I'm giving the volume approach a go and I'll see how it works for me
my guess is that It will work very well ( since I have been doing the HIT and Max OT  ::) )
those programs are great for strenght but I feel not for size
I have lost 2 inches off each my arms since switching to HIT  :-\  :-X
I used to do 10-12 sets per bodypart a week, not enough volume but it was giving me results, well, we all learn from experience I guess

how do you feel that I look better than you after 2 months of lifting?
must suck
go jump off somewhere, maybe you'll be born with better Genetics

 ;D

You have much to learn about this place!

Upright rows, reverse flyes and one arm DB rows will get the job done. you cannot isolate the rear delts per se, but if you focus on squeezing just your rear delts during these exercises it will help.

Power/Hang cleans work wonders, you will never see an Olympic lifter with small delts.

Also, pause at the peak contraction of each rep and hold for a second. if you can do one arm DB rows with a pause at the top, your delts will grow like no tomorrow.

Practice flexing and controlling your individual muscles often, this is one aspect people seem to over look. you should be able to cramp up muscles by focusing on them just when flexing. when you can do that, you will benefit more from training.

Pretty basic advice, but i'm not sure how long you have been lifting, so i just added some pointers.
