Workout for shoulders

workout for shoulder

One of the best parts of a well rounded physique are a great set of shoulders. This just happens to be one of my weakest body parts in terms of development, therefore I am planning on focusing more on my shoulder size and shape. I want to have both size and definition. I have been working shoulders out but not as much as i should have been. So recently I have started doing workouts that target the shoulders from all directions to get the best growth and development. I am planning to increase my strenght as well in the process but I will write about that at a later stage ( body weight exercises and using rocks etc).

So below is the workout I am currently doing for shoulders:

• Barbell press – 4 sets of increasing weight and decreasing reps from 12 reps – 8 reps
• Dumbbell lateral raises – 4 sets of 12 reps
• Barbell front raises – 4 sets of 12 reps
• Dumbbell front raises – 4 sets of 12 reps
• Bent over dumbbell lateral raises – 4 sets of 12

Yep, I know there is alot of 4sets going on, that’s because I have been doing the 3 sets of 10 for too long and playing with rep ranges helps growth. At some point in the future I will try lower rep ranges and more sets.

Finally my physique has come a long way from the time I first started but I still have a long way to go until I achieve my goal physique. Little by little I am hoping to add more muscle in each body part and making it as tight as possible.
