Are you curious about shoulder hypertrophy workouts?

The shoulders are one of the most aesthetic muscle groups in the body.

In fact, it's almost impossible for a bodybuilder to have shoulders that are too big!

So what's the best way to train the shoulders?

The best shoulder hypertrophy workouts use a combination of heavy compound exercises and high-rep isolation movements. You start your routine with heavy overhead presses, like the seated dumbbell overhead press, and then perform a variety of isolation exercises for your front, side, and rear delts.

This is the exact strategy that most professional bodybuilders use to build big, strong delts! For example:

The Perfect Shoulder Hypertrophy Workout

Exercise #1: Overhead press, 3-5 sets of 6-10 reps
Exercise #2: Side delt isolation movement, 3-5 sets of 8-20 reps
Exercise #3: Side delt isolation movement, 3-5 sets of 8-20 reps
Exercise #4: Rear delt isolation movement, 3-5 sets of 8-20 reps
Exercise #5: Rear delt isolation movement, 3-5 sets of 8-20 reps

This is the exact strategy that most professional bodybuilders use, including guys like Chris Bumstead, Ronnie Coleman, and Dorian Yates.

Performing high-volume shoulder workouts is an advanced muscle-building strategy. You need to be an experienced bodybuilder with good recovery ability to train this way.

However, if you are up for the challenge, then these high-volume powerbuilding style workouts are the fastest way to build massive 3-D delts!

Now let's take a closer look at the best shoulder hypertrophy workouts!

I just find that with dumbbells you’re limited where the tension curve is where you’re not limited with cables.”

“When you do that movement it’s not like you’re coming crazy far back.

You see some skinny people who really hyperextend their shoulders. That’s where you start to engage your back and mid-back.

Don’t think about getting a giant range of motion, just think about always keeping tension on your rear delts.”

This is some great advice!

John Meadows starts this routine with the reverse pec dec machine. He performs several regular sets, and then some additional partial reps to really fatigue the rear delts!

“A lot of people say Oh, partial reps are a waste. No they’re not! It’s additional tension, additional blood flow, additional stress on the muscle as long as you get your full range of motion reps in.”

After performing different isolation exercises for his rear and side delts, John finishes his shoulders off with some heavy overhead pressing.

This is a very smart way to train if you are an older lifter like John!

Talk about an intense shoulder workout!

Jay starts this workout with some seated dumbbell lateral raises, and then moves right into his heavy overhead pressing movement. Jay believes this pre-exhaust strategy is the way to go for bringing up your side delts.

On his overhead pressing movement, Jay likes to perform partial reps in the bottom half of the exercise. In other words, he never locks out the weight!

Here is Jay Cutler describing this unique training strategy:

“Pressing movement, I come up, this is about full contraction for me. I never come up to the locking point because it brings in the triceps, the lats more, you never want to touch the dumbbells together.

Why? When you touch together you’re taking the tension off the shoulders and bringing in the triceps. Ideally the movement, although it looks different on camera than it feels, the movement is as such.

It’s almost like I’m using a barbell. I never touch the dumbbells. The same thing goes for your chest movements and always staying around 10-12 repetitions.”

Here is another one of Jay Cutler's high-volume shoulder hypertrophy routines that you can try. Check it out:

Milos Sarcev Shoulder Workouts

Milos Sarcev is one of the greatest bodybuilding coaches in the world. He uses a unique training strategy called “giant sets” with all of his clients – including in their shoulder workouts!

So what are giant sets?

A giant set is a circuit of 4+ exercises performed in a row with no more than 10 seconds rest in between sets! For example, a shoulder giant set might include 5 shoulder exercises performed in a row with no rest!

Here is Milos Sarcev describing giant sets:

“What is the most intense training system? What creates maximum muscle fiber stimulation?

If you’re truly honest with yourself then the answer is giant sets!”

In my experience, giant sets are one of the best ways to build big, strong shoulders!

The shoulders have a healthy mix of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, so you need to use a variety of rep ranges and exercises for maximum development.

Talk about an intense shoulder workout!

Simeon Panda says that he performs up to 4 warm up sets for each exercise. After that, he performs 4 working sets with his heaviest weight! This is a ton of sets, but Simeon says the high-volume is essential for building fully capped delts.

“Why so many sets, man? If you want to get stronger, and you want to build strength, you have to hit several heavy sets.

The other sets are just warm ups! It’s the heavy sets that build the progression, it’s the heavy sets that really count.”

Here is another one of Simeon Panda's shoulder routines that you can try. check it out:

Simeon Panda Shoulder Workout #2

Exercise #1: Standing barbell overhead press, 4 sets of 8-12 reps

Exercise #4: Standing dumbbell front raise, 4 sets of 8-12 reps
Exercise #5: Standing barbell shrug, 4 sets of 8-12 reps

CLICK RIGHT HERE for the training video of this workout.

Talk about an intense workout!

Simeon Panda performs a total of 5 exercises, including 2 heavy overhead pressing movements and 3 shoulder isolation exercises.

For this workout, Simeon actually uses the behind the neck press. He says this exercise is not for everyone. However, he always got great results from this movement, so he continues to use it in his overall training program.

“The behind the neck press is not for everyone, because not everyone has that mobility.

For me, I’m perfectly fine with the bar behind the back. It all depends on your mobility. Just assess it, start light, see how you feel.

But don’t try to do a 1-rep max or anything, just take your time with it.”

This is some great advice! If a so-called mass-building shoulder exercise does not agree with your body, then drop it from your routine!

There are plenty of other exercises that you can do instead.
