Here, in this article I’ll share you some things about shoulders.
How to work them out, which exercises to perform, how to perform them and so on.
Okay.. first let me tell you a few things about them. They’re really important but easy to injure and overtrain. So you have to be REALLY careful when it comes to working them out. If you’re doing calis/street fitness you should NOT be doing isolation exercises. Pull ups, dips, chin ups, pushups and all of the other exercises are putting so much preasure to your shoulders that you don’t have to do aditional isolation movements.
Something more about shoulders
The shoulder has 3 parts – front, middle and back. To my view you don’t really have to focus that much on „which part you’re working out“ but to do different exercises every time.
Also throw your ego away and choose a weight that allows you to do 10-12 reps with good and strict form. No swining or jumping.
Okay, I cleared this – so its time to go ahead and continue my article with the shoulder exercises.
Exercise 1 – Front dumbel raise
It coudl be done with 1 dumbel – single hand and then with the next hand. It could also be done with both hands at once. Its up to you.
How to perform it the front dumbel raise
Raise the dumbel till your hand is up to 90 degree with your body. Then hold it in this position for 1 second and let it fall down to its first position with slow and controlled motion ! Don’t let the gravity do it for you !
Second exercise – side shoulder raise
Thats my favourite exercise, because it puts really less preasure on your shoulder joints and you can feel the burn performing it. Use a slow and a controlled motion again.
The third exercise is called shoulder press
It can be performed with dumbels or with a barbel. I suggest the range of motion to be – until your elbows and triceps hit the 90 degree (as it is shown on the picture) Again – slow and controlled motion ! Remember that the good form is much more important than the weights you’re using !!!
Thats enough from me. If you have anything to add or just want to comment – use the comment box below.
