Yeah you have to take it easy. Shoulder workouts tend to fukk with the mind because you lift/pull heavy in everything else so
you think you can lift heavy for a shoulder day....nope
.
If I were you I'd either use machines or go real light and rep out with arnold presses and then do some overhead presses after...
Mistakes You're Probably Making
Arnold Press
Overhead Press
Matter of fact here's my shoulder routine....you should drop weights and increase reps to accommodate for your cuffs...I also recommend not doing chest a day or two before doing it:
Stretching
- I Y T Stretches and any standard stretches that open up your chest and delts
Routine
- 6 sets of arnold presses...no pyramid so stick to a nice weight...35-40lbs is pretty heavy for 12-15 reps per
- 6 sets of overhead presses...also no pyramid so for me right now 25lbs on each side (for a total of 95lbs) is good enough for me at 10 reps per
- 4 supersets of front plate raises and front single DB raises...I use the 45lb plate and a 40-45lbs dumbbell depending on how my front delts are feeling
- 4 supersets of upright rows with the E-Z curl bar, with the cables and shrugs (doesn't matter if you use DBs or the BB
- 4 supersets of DB lateral raises and lateral cable pulls..
- my gym has a dual cable row machine so I take off the handles set the weight light and then I sit on the end of the bench facing to either the left or the right of the bench and then I grab the cable that's on the same side of the bench I'm facing with the same side arm, (so if I'm sitting facing the right, I use my right hand to grab the right clip/cable). While sitting upright, bring your arm from across your opposite side and extend it out away from the machine and repeat for the other side..its a nice fukking workout...if I can get someone to hold my phone I'll record it if you don't understand lol
my shoulders are pretty fukking cut breh...you can see separation on all three parts breh
