It’s easy to fall into the trap of opting for the exercises you see everyone else doing on the gym floor (or worse, social media). But does that mean they’re the best, or right for you? Absolutely not, and there are definitely some shoulder exercises that are given a little too much glory.
Our delts are made up of three heads – the front (anterior), medial (middle) and rear (posterior) – and if the goal is to sculpt 3D shoulders then you need to train your shoulders from multiple angles to hit all three. However, it’s common that a lot of people’s training ends up favouring the front deltoids, particularly if it already involves a lot of pressing movements, like the bench press.
