A great way to get around this is to pre-exhaust your shoulders before starting your presses. This can be done by starting with an isolation exercise to wear out the head you’re trying to work and then by going straight into your presses.
So for example, if your goal is to work your anterior deltoids, you might do a set of front raises to pre-exhaust the front of your delts. As soon as you’re done with your front raises, move straight into your set of front barbell presses. This way, your anterior deltoid muscles can be worked all the way to the point of exhaustion before your triceps start to give out. This should help you to give your shoulders the shock they need to grow to the next level.
If you push hard enough, stay consistent, and have the knowledge you need, you’ll be able to develop massive shoulders complete with three well-defined heads. With each workout you’ll see chiseled, rock-hard definition show through more and more. This is just a brief overview of the deltoid muscles, and you’ll learn much more as you continue to read about your delts and as you experiment in the gym. Remember, it’s only a matter or time, effort, fuel, and knowledge before your shoulders develop into rock hard masses that look like they were cut from a stone!
