Top Three Shoulder Workouts That You Will Love

Shoulder workouts are by far one of my favorite workouts during the week! Today I will briefly explain three different workouts that will mainly focus on your shoulders. These three workouts are also the most common shoulder workouts as well so you will definitely look like you know what you are doing while you are at the gym.

The first workout is called "One Arm Side Laterals".

• You will first pick a dumbbell and place it in your hand while your other hand should grab something steady.
• Then stand with a straight torso and the dumbbell by your side at arms length with the palm of your hand facing inside.
• Then keeping your torso in place, lift the dumbbell on your side with a slight elbow bend and your hand slightly tilted forward. Continue to go up until your arm is parallel to the floor.
• Then lower the dumbbell back down to your side at the starting position.
• Repeat the steps for "x" amount of reps and sets and then switch arms. 

  

The next workout I will discuss is known as the "Dumbbell Shoulder Press".

• Have a dumbbell in each hand and sit on a military press bench that has back support. Then place the dumbbells on your thighs.
• Now raise them to your shoulder height one at a time using your thighs to help get them in position.
• Then rotate your wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing forward.
• Now push the dumbbells upward until they touch at the top.
• Then slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position while inhaling.
• Then repeat for the recommended amount of reps and sets.

 

 The final shoulder workout I will discuss today is known as the :Bent-Over Rear Delt Raise".

• Sit on the end of a bench with your legs together and the dumbbells behind your calves.
• Bend at the waist while keeping the back straight in order to pick up the dumbbells. The palms of your hands should be facing each other as you pick them.
• Keep your torso forward and stationary and your arms slightly bent at the elbows. Lift the dumbbells straight to the side until both arms are parallel to the floor.
• Then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
• Then repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and sets.

 

 If you add these three shoulder workouts to your agenda, you should start seeing results if done proper and consistently. If you ever feel like not wanting to workout, just remember how far you have come and remind yourself to not quit and to continue to work hard. Keep up the hard work and continue to push yourself to greatness everyday! Next week we will discuss back workouts.
