Shoulder Training Workouts & Articles

Shoulder training is more about precision than weight. To much emphasis on poundage leads to aches, pain and discomfort. So use weights that can be felt in the target area and not some auxiliatory muscle. As with back training on most standing presses and heavy shrugs wear a belt. What we have listed below are some of the absolute complete development shoulder training workouts there are, bar none!

1. Move Your Presses to the Front: Front presses are safer on the shoulder joint when going heavy for most trainers because of flexibility in the shoulder joint!
2. Slow it Down: Never use momentum on lateral raise as this causes the exercise to shift front the side towards the front of the shoulder!
3. Prioritize the Weak: Hit your weak areas first while your strength is high, will help you bring up lagging areas and improve structural balance and health!
4. Watch the Volume: Your shoulders especially the front deltiods are involved in all pressing activity so they get some work while doing chest training. The same with your rear delts during your back session. So do think you have to do excessive sets to get growth as your shoulders are getting that extra indirectly.
5. Balance is the key to Strength: Remember that your shoulder joint is not really a joint at all but a capsule that relies on all parts being in balance to be at its strongest. Making sure all three heads of your shoulders are equally strong crates a very balanced and strong shoulder joint!
