I don't have an arm/trap workout unfortunately. I train push/pull/legs 3 times a week with nice heavy compounds. I haven't curled anything for years though I may be swapping to trap bar deads soon. I just hit my 1000lb total for the 3 lifts and my arms are about 15.5" cold.

Shoulders are by far my weakest point aswell and the area I'm really trying to improve upon vastly. I guess its because when I started training, I trained my back, chest and legs and ignorance allowed me to forget shoulders!

I probably had my best ever shoulder session this evening! Felt so good after it, such a good feeling when you hit a weak area of your body and you hit it HARD! I really went hard on them today and didn't talk to anyone in the gym, just pure concentration.

I've found lateral raises, with good form, not going too far past 90 degrees, to really help my delts, especially my posterior delts.

best shoulder excersises

hang clean and pp/military
lite strict laterals
arnold press
wide grip uprite row rowing up to forehead

When it comes to any weak bodypart its always best to start over, lighten the load and get back to basics, load a BB with a moderate weight and strive to add 5 pounds each workout.

Personally I think this is the only way to make good progress. If you are having a conversation with someone, it takes your eye off the ball so to speak. Get your head down and concentrate on your workout.

Going past 90 degrees releases tension on the muscle, its actually a very short ROM if done correctly. You are not trying to fly so stop flapping your wings like a bird

As a noob, i really need to pack on mass everywhere, but what lacks most are my arms in general (12 inch around. ).

Since you are new you shouldn't worry about arms, strive to get chest, back and your legs bigger and the rest will follow.

again, chest for me definitely. I think i may have been sacrificing form for using heavy weights...which is stupid i know so im gonna go a bit lighter and really concentrate on working the muscle, see if that makes a difference.

As before, get back to basics, choose a chest exercise you enjoy and build the weight up slowly. Your body can't respond and grow to jumps in weight of 10kg! but it can respond to an extra 5 pounds or so.

Are you really pushing as hard as you can ?? I find to make my legs grow I have to give absolutely everything. On all 3 working sets of squats I feel like stopping after 5 reps but dig deep and don't let myself stop until another 3-4 reps are done. You will surprise yourself sometimes at just what you are capable of.

As before, lighten the load, get back to basics of heavy compounds followed by maybe one isolation.

I fall into that same trap mate, I'm still trying to lose the gut from the last bulk up. Cutting is not my forte and I'm still finding out what works for me to lose weight.

You'll get there mate, your front squats are not to be sniffed at

As before King its a case of getting back to basics. Have you tried Gironda dips ??

Basic heavy compounds are pretty much my entire routine.

Monday: Bench Press, Bent over Rows, Abdominal work

Wednesday: Squat, Military Press, Chin ups/Pull ups

Saturday: Deadlift, Dips, Upright Rows

All done with strength as the primary focus, and usually swapping between variations of these. Currently I'm trying a smolov junior cycle though my first body part split is in the works hopefully, so I'll be trying to bring my shoulders up to speed then.
