Secret Routine For BIGGER Shoulders -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I was reading somewhere that Dennis Tinerino, a former AAU Mr. America said that he couldn't have won that title unless he had full five points for athletic ability in the 3 Olympic lifts. He totaled about a 1000 pounds in these lifts. He got some really huge shoulders from being able to press 310 pounds over his head. How can I get shoulders and power like he had? A: One of the marks of a real bodybuilding champion is massive, powerful and impressive SHOULDERS and Dennis had them for sure. Unless you have genetics like Dennis, I doubt you'll have shoulders like his... but here is a secret overhead pressing routine that will help you improve shoulder size and strength. Load a barbell to within 60 percent of your current unfatigued maximum single effort in the Barbell Press overhead. Take an overhand grip on the bar which is 12-inches wider than you normally use. Begin by cleaning the barbell to your shoulders and then perform 5 presses overhead. The barbell is lowered only to the front deltoids/clavicular pecs each rep and not to the floor. Upon lowering the bar to the (shoulder/clavicle area) on the 5th rep "rock" the bar in such a way that you can shift each hand inward to your normal hand-spacing and perform another 5 reps. At the conclusion of these five reps, (which will be your 10th consecutive rep) again shift your hand position inward until your thumbs are only 9-inches apart. Perform five more presses. This completes one series. Perform two more series, resting 1.5 to 2 minutes between each series. Upon completion of the three series, (45 reps) REDUCE the original starting poundage an additional 15 to 20 percent and after a suitable rest perform an additional three series as described above. This routine should put some serious power and muscle on your deltoids.
