my deltoid is extraordinarily weak for raises compared to other ppl

[anabolichalo]

when i use too heavy weights for delt raises i feel it only in my traps

[Shockwave]

Boom!

I've been using the 17.5's lately bro, no joke. I can't even hit 25 reps if I'm doing them "properly."

#TeamPinkDumbells

Yeah, I actually used the 20's last week as I started upping my reps into the 12-15 range. I used the 27.5s for 4-6 prior to that, but I'm starting to feel that I'm getting much better results from higher reps for shoulders.

[Big Chiro Flex]

No. Your delts are bigger mainly because 1) I've barely gotten a year under my belt of weight training 2) you juice.

No. My natty delts were big too 

[anabolichalo]

you looked more juiced up naturally than i do juiced up

[Simple Simon]

All post-contest illusion. This is lean/bloaty 5'10,170lbs a week after contest on an all you can eat pizza diet.

Clean a week after a contest?
Seriously?

[BigRo]

good pic of you Chiro, see the tan is still holding out well there!

[Shockwave]

I agree for everything EXCEPT direct deltoid work. Delts are not a primer mover like chest, legs....the function of the shoulders is circumduction, not moving heavy loads.

Then again whatever you seem to be doing is working like a charm so I won't argue with the legendary BigRo

I agree. Im seeing much better results throttling back the weights and increasing the reps quite a bit.

damn you look 210lbs or so

I won't engage in your trolling brah, not the point of the thread or my post.  You as a competitor should remember what you look like a week after a show, when you've been low carb dieting for 16 weeks.


For those who havent competed: For 7 days post contest, you look INSANE from all the shit you're eating. But this only lasts 1-2 weeks. Then you lose your lines and transition back to the "looks big in clothes, average when shirtless" bodybuilder phase.

I have been doing 100 rep sets of laterals starting with 30s/25s/20s/15s/10s/5s.....My shoulders blow up like balloons.

I know exactly how you look after a contest, it was just the 'natty delt' comment that didn't need to be made.

Its the single greatest illusion pic I've ever taken before LOL. In a large t shirt I'm still swimming bro.

This is not "big" size...

[BigRo]

If that is what you looked like natural how much bigger are you now?

[Big Chiro Flex]

I'm not certain if you understand this stuff about competing bro.

[Simple Simon]

Did you compete natty?

[Big Chiro Flex]

Much bigger, and much fatter  

225 here of bloat, happiness, and joy.



Apologies for hi-jacking this thread with my shit pics, but Simon has never competed before and needed some info.

craziest thing ever this looks almost like your natural illusion pic


wtf pictures are weird

[Big Chiro Flex]

Did you compete natty?

Not since that show. Not natty so can't compete natty anymore.

[Wolfox]

No. My natty delts were big too 

is that a tattoo of your boyfriend's starfish on your shoulder?

I thought that to.

Seems he believes that when he stops taking steroids the day after he suddenly becomes natty.

I think the same thing....it's all about how lean I am. To me, my pics only look decent when shredded, which I haven't been contest shredded In a few years. In clothes and in real life, the difference between now and natty is night and day. But without proper detail (like you have currently), my pics aren't that cool man.

Actually, if you have ever used anything, you're not natty anymore. Dunno where you guys get that.
