Do you need to raise your shoulders? Are your hands sweaty? Is your back grumbling about all of your shoulder twisting and pulling? If this is the case, it may be time for a shoulder exercise. Your shoulders are natural and auxiliary upper-body complex muscles that support your arms, back, and neck. They also aid in the stabilization of your whole upper body, particularly while doing lateral motions. Shoulder exercises is especially beneficial for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who engage in lateral-movement sports like hockey or volleyball. Keep your shoulders firm to avoid injuries caused by overextending and overusing them during game play. Keep in mind that these are just suggestions. Unless you execute dumbbell shoulder presses with a concentration on the medial side of the shoulder, these workouts will not strengthen your rotator cuff (backside). You may even skip any of these exercises if they don't fit you or don't work for you - but then again... Why not glance up if you wish to go ahead in any way other than backward? Continue reading to learn about four great techniques to work out your shoulders:

Shoulder Press using Dumbbells

Dumbbell shoulder presses are an excellent workout for strengthening the shoulders. The medial side of your shoulder is the rear. To do this exercise, stand with your feet shoulder width apart and a dumbbell in each hand. The dumbbells will then be raised above while your elbows are kept close to your body. Turn away from the weights and lean forward to achieve a decent stretch, or extend one arm behind you for a deeper stretch. Repeat 10 times on each side, making sure that both arms receive an equal amount of work!

Raise on the Lateral

Lateral raises are popular among sportsmen and fitness aficionados because they strengthen the lateral deltoids, which are important for throwing and catching. These lifts, in addition to concentrating on lateral motions, assist to develop the muscles in your arms.

Shrug

s Shrugs, also known as shrugs with a barbell or dumbbells, engage the trapezius and deltoids muscles in the upper back. Begin by holding a dumbbell in each hand and standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend forward from your hips and reach towards the ceiling. Before switching sides, shrug up and down for 8 to 12 repetitions.

Raise the Front

Front rises are an excellent exercise for targeting the front of your shoulders. They may be performed with dumbbells, barbells, or even your own hands. Keep your elbows high on the side of your head and push the weights apart.

Crushers of Skulls

Skull crushers are a well-known dumbbell shoulder workout. To do this exercise, stand upright with your arms at your sides and a dumbbell in each hand. From here, bring the weights to shoulder height while gently bending your elbows and lowering your head. Then, when you lift the dumbbells again, push through the elbows. This is an excellent workout that works all of the muscles in your shoulders as well as those in your upper back.

Conclusion

There are several shoulder exercises available, and the optimal one for you will depend on the form of your shoulder, your pain tolerance, and your fitness level. If you're searching for a new exercise routine to add to your fitness regimen, give this one a go!


 
What helped me was FST 7s that Jay Cutler did. You use a low cable and grab the D handle and turn around so the cable I behind you. And you do single arm lateral raises. Do these at the end of every shoulder workout. You do 7 sets 10-12 reps with 45 second rest in between sets. Do them with a good weight that by set 4 you are struggling on the 10th rep. These are not pump sets.
You can also do this for quads, do leg extensions this way at the end of every leg workout. If done correctly these ain’t easy you should be ready to quit by the 5th set so if you get 8 reps on the 6th and 7th set it’s ok burn baby burn 🔥
