Will doing lateral raises and overhead press be enough to build huge shoulders?

[Clone]

My current routine on shoulder day

Lateral raises 15×5
Overhead press 12×3
Front raises 10×5

I have heard it's hard to grow shoulders unless you're blasting

 

[Whitepill]

Yea

In my opinion, the best exercises for building shoulders are the Barbell Overhead Press, Cable Lateral Raise, Machine Press, and Weighted Wide Grip Pull-Ups. These gave me great results, but genetics might also play a role. Normally, this routine should be enough, but it’s important to switch things up after a few months to keep your muscles from getting too used to the workouts.

Yes.

All I do for my shoulders is barbell overhead press, dumbbell lateral raises, and occasionally cable lateral raises.

I'll start adding cable lateral raises into my routine

if you have roids then your shoulders will grow with little effort, because they have many androgen receptors in there
unfortunately not all of us have roids

also is 15 the sets or the reps
cuz 15 sets is crazy

I dont got huge shoulders by any means but for 5 month gym it isnt bad and I only do lateral raises and front raises

1/ If you can do it, try snatch grip upright rows (don't go any higher than lower chest)

2/ Spam lateral raises 3x per week, 4 sets of any reps close to faillure, light to moderate weight. Use differents variations

3/ Try kettlebell seesaw press, better than regular barbell or dumbell OHP

4/ Pike push ups on parallettes are brutal for shoulders

5/ Train your rear delts with a tool called "chest expander". This exercise at high intensity

I added a chest expander to my cart I'll also add pike push ups with 15lb weights

Make sure you’re training rear delt too

 

[Clone]

Yeah it try to hit all sides though my rear is lacking

 

[Harvey929]

No need to do front raises if dumbbell presses already target the front delts

Yeah normal compound exercises targeting the chest and the shoulders works enough the front delts. Side and rear delts are more important for width

agreed, people try and overcomplicate excercises when all you need is a simple pressing motion for most lifts

 

[TonyDr]

All the body's muscles are targeted on heavy compounds, only the side delts and rear delts are poorly stimulated unless you can do upright rows.
