    For shoulders what really works well for me is:
    1 handed shoulder press (explode up, put back down slowly into the correct position and repeat) :: 3 sets :: 20 at 50lbs - 16 at 55lbs - 12 at 60lbs
    1 handed shoulder flies (raise your hand 90 degrees in front of you, then sideways after putting it back beside your hip and you do 1 rep) :: 3 sets :: 20 at 25lbs :: 16 at 30lbs :: 12 at 35lbs
    holding 2.5lbs weights have your hands out fully at your sides and for 3 minutes at a time make them go clockwise and counter-clockwise (switching every 30+ seconds) as fast as you can.

    Started from the usual 12-8 reps for shoulder presses but kept raising it. Built up a lot of tone like that and they look great. Well rounded shoulders that look pretty damn good and work good too. Eh, just take care for overwork injuries, at the time I was also doing 1-armed pushups and my joints got a bit messed up in the front area thanks to excessive stress on those spots (front of shoulder)

    Doing it 1 handed makes it so you can do a lot more reps/weight than you usually could. The only bad thing is that it's more time consuming. IMO it's really worth it though, I like my shoulders.

    I'd give more advice but must hit sack. The workout I mentioned works "really" well for me and I'm sure it'd do the same for you.

        Bob Fitzsimmons would recommend:

        How to Stand. Stand up against a wall with your arms by your sides, your heels, shoulders, and head touching the wall. Draw in your abdomen. Hold your head erect, with the chin well in, so that when you look straight ahead your glance strikes the floor about fifteen or twenty feet in front of you. Take several steps forward and stand with your heels together. You are now ready for the first exercise.

        Exercise i. Lift your arms until they make a horizontal line with your shoulder. Then bring them forward in front, reaching out as far as you can so as to pull your shoulders forward, but holding the rest of the body rigid. Next spread back your arms with a slow, gentle motion as far as you can—do not let them drop down any—at the same time filling your lungs as full of air as possible. Do this ten times. Then drop your arms to your sides.

        Exercise 2. Lift your arms outward with an easy, gentle motion up above your head, reaching as high as you can, but keeping your heels on the floor. Then lower them again gently to the first position. Do this ten times. In lifting your arms inhale, and in lowering exhale.

        In both these exercises be careful that you breathe as directed, and hold your body, except the arms and shoulders, as in the standing position. These exercises will develop the muscles of your back, chest, and shoulders, and will increase your lung capacity greatly in a short time.http://books.google.com/books?id=ODY...se&output=text

                    He used to print off a picture of Calzaghe's face, make a mask out of it and record it while putting on a **** Welsh accent.
