Big Shoulder Exercises!

Big Shoulder Exercises!

By:


Everyone wants to have bigger, stronger shoulders; whether you are a long time bodybuilder or someone who just wants to look better on the beach.

To help you get on your way to bigger, stronger and more defined shoulders, I am providing a few exercises to get the results you want.

Two kinds of shoulder exercises are most common; the press and the raise. I will be writing about the raise in future articles so be sure to keep checking back in. The presses are wonderful exercises for the shoulders which primarily work the triceps, but involve other muscles as well.

The Military Press:

Sitting or standing, this exercise can be done either way. For beginner's, I recommend sitting on a bench with a good back support.

Whether sitting or standing, grasp a barbell with an overhand grip and hold it at shoulder level ? your hands should be slightly farther apart than shoulder width. Slowly press the barbell upwards until your arms are ?locked out? (that is to say, as far up as they can go without straining). Lower the barbell back to shoulder level slowly and repeat.

Seated Dumbbell Press:

This one is a lot like the Military Press, but is done with dumbbells instead. This press targets the front and side deltoids, unlike many press exercises ? so consider mixing it up with these presses!

This exercise will also train your sense of balance, but remember to start this one off with a little less weight than you would normally use.

Sit on your bench with a dumbbell in both hands. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height with your palms facing outward. Again, you are going to press the dumbbells slowly up until your arms are locked out. Slowly return the dumbbells to shoulder height and then repeat.

These are just a few of the presses that can build those stronger, bigger, and more defined shoulders. Keep coming back as I will be adding more press exercises in the future. See you at the gym. Until then, keep working those shoulders!
