Let’s talk about your shoulders today and what best way to develop them as well as preventing injuries.

The shoulder is made up of 3 distinct muscles

· Anterior Deltoid – the frontal part of the shoulder

· Lateral Deltoid - located on the side of the shoulder

· Posterior Deltoid – located to the back of the shoulder.

There are many ways to work your shoulders out. You have to however realize that they do get a bit of work when you train your chest or your back. Keep that in mind so not to over train your shoulders.

Here is the workout.

Since they are a small muscle group, you can get away with training the shoulders once a week if you put in enough intensity.

· Seated dumbbell press ( overhead ) 15 reps ( use a moderate weight that will allow you to do no more than 15 reps) followed by

· Bent Over lateral raises – 12 reps followed by

· Standing lateral raises – 10 reps.

· Do all 3 sets back to back. Your shoulder muscles should be burning by now. Rest 1 minute and repeat the sequence 4 times.

That’s it. Sounds easy but it kicks ass.
