shoulders lagging help

[redspider]

i'm 180 pounds and almost 6 foot tall, hanging around 10% body fat. lifting for 2 years and I'm on a strength program for the past 7 months or so. In that time my squats and deadlifter have improved a lot. but where I am really lagging is my shoulder presses. I just cannot seem to get stronger on those. any tips?

I suggest you do regular dumbell work with shoulders, don't do heavy shoulder press. That messes up the rotator cuff is done too much.

yea, talk to a trainer and have them help you hands on

Are you benching too?

you actually don't want to get too strong too fast with the shoulders. just progress smart. the shoulders get worked out way too much already

You want to be careful with shoulders because it is easy to get injured and tough to recover. I would do some overhead presses with barbells and dumbbells. Just move up slowly. Shoulders are also hit pretty good when you bench press.
