Having broad, firm shoulders are an essential piece to a total body development workout. Shoulder work is often neglected in favor of more showy muscles such as the chest, arms, and abs. In some ways this is acceptable as shoulders receive a lot of indirect work from most compound exercises such as the bench press. However, I do believe exercises that target the shoulders directly are necessary to develop the shoulder muscles to its maximum potential. I will highlight the top 5 exercises to achieve this outcome. Exercise 1: Lateral raises. Grab a pair of dumbbells and raise them to the side until your arms are at a 90 degree angle. I prefer to execute this exercise while sitting as your body will be more tempted to use momentum by heaving upwards on the balls of your feet when standing. Exercise 2: Military Presses. This one can be done with your choice of dumbbells or a barbell. Simply press the weight upwards over your head until your arms are near lockout. Like the lateral raise...

The first place to get hurt and the last place to get big on most guys is the shoulder area. Too much pressing and too little preventative training often lead to long-term, painful shoulder injuries. And you can't train much of your upper body if your shoulder hurts. But with the UGN back-to-front approach to building big shoulders, you can put size and definition on your delts while minimizing the pain common to most shoulder workouts.

Now to achieve the goal of big, healthy shoulders, you need to follow a couple of rules. Start each session by training the muscles at the back of the shoulder and then progress to training the muscles of the middle deltoid, and then finish the workout by training the front of the shoulder. You will also use these exercises as ...

Your shoulders are the core of a v-taper. That means that if you look at your body from waist to shoulders then you should see a V with your waist being the bottom and your body widening out as much as possible as you get to the shoulders. Because of this anyone that wants to look more athletic and stronger will want to work all three heads of the deltoid, or shoulder muscles. Here are my three favorite shoulder exercises Side laterals  - This exercise is done by standing with a fairly light dumbbell in each arm. Lean forward just a little bit and then lift the weights out to your sides with your arms almost straight and near the top pull your shoulders back a little to make sure that you can really feel the contraction in your shoulders. A set or two of these and your shoulders will be burning. Pull-ups  - These are a compound exercise meaning that you are not just working the shoulders but also the biceps. To do pull-ups just hold a barbell with your hands about 6-10 inche...

Working on building the shoulder muscles? This can be a challenge. It's very hard to build muscle on your shoulders safely and effectively. Many of your other upper body exercises put stress on the shoulders and need to be taken into consideration. For example, if you did a heavy load of bench press this week, you shouldn't do any overhead presses because you could injury your rotator cuff from too much shoulder strain. So if you train chest one day, wait two days before you train the shoulders, and two more days for the chest again. Make sure that you warm up properly since you are dealing with such a delicate joint. If you are just starting out working your shoulder, or deltoids, take it easy. Begin by slowly strengthening your deltoids and then focus on growth. There are three parts of the deltoid, the front, the middle, and the rear deltoids, that need to be worked. Here are a few exercises that will help you to develop strong muscular shoulders that put most men to shame: ...

Shoulders are a tough muscle group to target with bodyweight movements. The shoulders come into play as stabilizer muscles for all upper body bodyweight movements. However, some movements work the shoulders better than others. Here are some of the top shoulder exercises you can do with just your bodyweight: Hindu Pushups/ Dive Bombers Hindu Pushups and Dive Bombers were made famous by a guy named Matt Furey. The hindu pushups got their name because Mr. Furey claimed they were one of the three bodyweight movements used by Indian wrestlers back in the day. Hindu pushups are a great movement, especially if you want to isolate your shoulders. They also work great because they hit your chest from three different angles at once: upper chest, middle chest, and lower chest. Pretty cool. The Dive Bomber is a tougher variation of the Hindu Pushup.
