Strength

Shoulder-‐Focused
Routines
for
2015
Introduction
I
have
decided
to
create
new,
fresh
routines
for
the
Greek
God
Program!
I
have
been
performing
the
following
workouts
with
myself
and
my
clients
with
some
pretty
incredible
gains.
The
structure
is
essentially
the
same,
there’s
just
a
little
more
exercise
variation
and
a
little
more
leg
work
on
Workout
B.
We’ll
also
be
using
rest
pause
training
on
the
shoulders,
this
has
been
an
incredible
effect
training
tool
at
building
big,
rounded
shoulders
for
a
godlike
physique.
Same
deal
as
before,
you
are
to
train
3
days
per
week
(ex
-‐
Monday,
Wednesday,
Friday)
and
alternate
between
Workout
A
&
Workout
B.

60%
of

set
weight
for
5
reps
and
80%
of
work
set
weight
for
3
reps.
Rest
3
minutes
between
sets
and
add
2.5
lbs
to
each
set
every
workout
(1.25
lbs
per

Alternatively,
add
5
lbs
to
either
the
first
set
or
second
and
third
set.
For
shoulder
press,
you
can
go
right
into
your
first
set.
Rest
3
minutes
between
these
sets,
and
aim
to
hit
the
top
end
of
the
rep
range
each
workout.
When
you
can
get
the
top
end
of
the
rep
range
on
all
3
sets,
increase
the
weight
by
5
lbs
on
all
sets
the
next
workout.
For
RPT,
reduce
the
weight
by
5-‐10
lbs
per
dumbbell
on
the
second
set
and
again
on
the
third
set
(whatever
is
closest
to
10%).

For
cable
one
arm
lateral
rasies,
pick
a

After
finishing
the
activation

rest
10-‐15
seconds
and
perform
3-‐5
reps.
Rest
10-‐15

Complete
a

light
weight.
