Does anyone feel sore after shoulders?

I think it because of the short range that the muscle move. I normaly get more sornes in my triceps then in the shoulder. In fact the few times I have been really sore I went crazy with volume! I think I did some thign like 3 hours of nothing but shoulder a couple times in H.S. because I was stuck in a place with only modest amount of concrete weights so the area that I could train the most was shoulders and biceps. Even then I think my traps where more sore then any of my deltoids where. So I think you are normal especialy if you use more compound movements. If you use isolation type movements then your erlbow would likely be more sore then your shoulders!

I too find it difficult to become sore from working shoulders. Two suggestions:

Incline Dumbbell Front raises: very few delt exercises truly apply serious stress at the stretch point. Sit on a 30 degree incline bench, facing up, let the db's hang straight down, keep your chest and traps tight, and then raise the DB's straight up, bringing them closer together once they clear your legs. Don't raise them so far up that you take the stress off your delts. When you hit failure, press the db's up and then do a negative raise.

Inclined side dumbbell raises: This one's a bit trickier without a visual, but you would sit sideways on an inclined bench with your arm perpindicular to the floor in front of you. The idea is that you will start in a side-delt stretched position.

Let me know how these work for you.
