Shoulder Power Training
To build bigger and stronger shoulders, try the
workout below.
Power
Rack Presses: 4 sets,
5 reps each set
Place rack
at chin level and perform exercise as you would a military press to the
front, but only bring the bar down to your chin - not your chest.
Seated Dumbbell
Presses: 3 sets,
6-8 reps each set
Make sure
you control the movement and touch the dumbbells over your head.
Standing Side Dumbbell
Raises: 4 sets,
10 reps each set
Keep your
arms as straight as possible, raising dumbbells from the sides of your
legs to parallel to the floor. Again, make sure the movement is very
controlled.
Bent
Over Dumbbell Flies (for rear delts): 4 sets,
8 reps each set
Bring elbows
back as far as possible to obtain maximum contraction.
I also recommend that
shrugs be performed on a regular basis.
The workout above is a sample workout for a given
day. In order to continue to stimulate the muscle, it is very important to
perform different exercises every time you train a body part. Never do the same
workout. This will not only prevent boredom, but it will also make you bigger
and stronger.
Note: Before embarking on any
nutrition, supplementation, and/or training program, consult with your physician
or other licensed health-care professional.
