[Powerslide]

I've had a really tough time building solid mass in my shoulders. I played rugby for quite a few years and witnessed a lot of shoulder injuries- I figure that might have made me pretty apprehensive about more intense shoulder training. As soon as I feel even a slight click I stop completely. In addition, the times I attempted to do a heavier shoulder routine, I only seemed to bulk up the front of my shoulders. I also get conflicting information - some have said that going heavy in shoulder presses is important for mass, and others stress that heavy weights are never necessary for shoulder building and are in fact detrimental.

I do a lot of compound excersizes that include shoulders such as barbell deadlifts & cleans, and kettlebell swings/cleans, but rarely any isolation work anymore.

My goal is to put together a shoulder day or some sort of shoulder focus to add to the end of each workout that can help me build some size and mass over the coming weeks.

Problem is I have no idea where to start. It pisses me off because I'd say shoulders have been my weak point for years, and I hope to get that right this fall/winter.

Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thanks Revsceners
