TRAINING Q & A - Front Delts

Q: Dude, my front delts are sorely lacking. I never do isolative exercises for them I always feel they get enough on chest days, but I guess I'm wrong. What's a quick way to add more meat to my FD without sacrificing strength on bench day?

A: Well, first off, the most obvious answer is to add front delt work into your routines. The problem is, it could affect your bench. However, if you are comfortable dropping some pounds in the bench until your delts improve, and your chest is good, then we'd do that. If you're patient, your bench actually will make your front delts bigger, unless you're doing something wrong or making your chest concave and bracing with your upper back. Add FD work a month or two before cutting to make them appear thicker and denser. You can have insanely strong delts and be weak looking in the front delts, so don't feel like a failure, it's just the way in which some people feel their delts or hold and express weight through the range.

You should try to play around with the overall plane of your shoulder and how much trap you are involving. Our guess is that you have great rear delts and traps, and either they overpower the front or they just take over during a movement that might otherwise develop you evenly. Military press and Incline Press at a slight angle with dumbbells can help you a lot, as can Arnold presses, and Front raises (no hammer grips!). Really drop your shoulder joint so your trap is NOT involved when you do a front raise and lean slightly forward into the exercise and movement on the effort. You can also take a little narrower grip on the bench too, which should help. We hope that helps.
