So, i've been slamming face pulls daily for 6 months and my shoulders still look like sad little wings. I swear, the only thing they've developed is my commitment to looking ridiculous in the gym. Anyone else feel like they've put in the work but got played? 🤷♀️
It's also worth considering that genetics can play a role in muscle shape and size. If you're doing everything right and still not seeing results, it might not just be about the face pulls. Make sure you're tracking your calories and macros accurately, it can make a big difference in muscle development.
Ngl, I just started doing face pulls too! I feel like a total goof, but I'm hoping for results. Maybe I should add in some heavier lifts like the others said. What else do you think works well for shoulder gains?
It sounds like you might be putting in the work, but not necessarily in the most effective way. Consider looking into different shoulder workouts that target all heads of the deltoids. It can be really helpful to vary your routine to avoid plateaus. Also, don't forget the importance of rest and recovery.
this! i tried face pulls too, and honestly, my shoulders still look like overcooked chicken wings. 😂
100% agree, switching things up is crucial. Caffeine helps my energy during workouts, and I feel more motivated. But with shoulders, maybe try some variations, like band pull-aparts too. Keep it fresh!
I get it, putting in effort but not seeing results can be frustrating. It's important to look at your overall shoulder routine, though. Are you incorporating other exercises like lateral raises or overhead presses? Those can help build more mass. Also, how's your nutrition? Protein intake is crucial for muscle development.
Honestly, I'm all about cardio and I'm not a fan of lifting. But I hear ya, if face pulls are your jam, just keep at it! It's all about finding what you enjoy. Or maybe just throw in a cardio session or two and see how that changes things.
Face pulls are great for shoulder stability, but they might not give you the size you're looking for on their own. I used to prioritize face pulls and neglected heavier lifts. My shoulders finally grew when I started focusing on compound movements. Try mixing it up with some barbell or dumbbell presses.
lmao, face pulls had me looking like a fool too! i switched to more compound lifts and my shoulders started popping. maybe just mix it up!
I had the same issue a few years back. After trying various workouts, I realized I wasn't doing enough to hit all parts of my shoulders. I focused on a mix of hypertrophy and strength training, and I started seeing results. Maybe a structured program could help.
Facts! But remember, nutrition is huge too. I meal prep a lot, and I make sure to get enough protein in every meal. Face pulls alone won't make a difference if your diet isn't on point.
Don't get discouraged, keep experimenting. Everyone's body responds differently to workouts. What matters is that you're committed and showing up. That dedication will pay off eventually. Just maybe throw in some variety and see how your body reacts.
