Help!
I have naturally broad shoulders and am trying to tone shoulders without bulking.... tips please. The high rep/low weight thing is not working |
are you eating at a caloric deficit, surplus, or maintenance?
If deficit or maintaining, aside from "newbie gains (initial muscle you put on as a first time lifter or haven't lifted in a while" you're not going to bulk. you can't grow muscle without a caloric surplus
so i'd feel comfortable telling you to go heavy with low reps.
that said, I don't go as heavy as I could with shoulder exercises because I easily borderline football player shoulders when I don't watch my diet and exercise.
for example, with an overhead press, shoulder press, or rows, i use 15-20lbs, 8-12 reps. for lateral raises and deltoid raises i use 8-10 lbs with the same number of reps. I could go heavier if I really wanted, but those number allow me to reach fatigue and i've improved my back and shoulders without looking like the hulk
but i'm no expert.

 soon2befit: mygoalis140: Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets! - 16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bite sized pieces
- salt and pepper to taste (I used paprika instead of salt)
- 2 tsp olive oil (I used canola oil)
- 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (I omitted this, I HATE parmesan!)
- olive oil spray (I used butter spray)
Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray. Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken. Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turnover then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though. Not only are these amazing, but they look exactly like the picture on the website (click my picture for the link!). Seriously, they’re so delicious you guys, OH and the website has the nutritional info!!
I must try these right now.
may try this

unfortunately (fellow back fat fighter) we can only decrease overall body fat. Keep doing the shoulder work and other weight traning (it will show your progress as your body fat decreases) and the muscle will help increase your metabolism so that you do lose more fat.
