How to build strength in shoulders?

Okay, so I just posted a message saying that by persevering with

your practice, pains and problems are eventually overcome, but no

amount of practice seems to build strength in my shoulders.

I *am* 53 and took up Ashtanga at 50, BUT, I do regular practice and

still can't jump forward to bring my feet squarely between my hands,

or jumpback from sitting. I do a bastardised version of both.

I also can't do backbends (lifting up from lying down) because of

lack of shoulder strength.

 

I do believe that the practice is designed to build strength and no

other body building should be necessary.

Does my original maxim about perseverence still apply? Will I

eventually build shoulder strength? And if so, when ? Or in this

case, should I start weight training to supplement?

Advice would be welcomed,

Best regards, Annie
