The exercise you’re not doing to add size to your shoulders: Poliquin raises

Looking for a new strength exercise that will challenge your shoulders and build muscle? You should try Poliquin raises. It’s a variation of the lateral raise, but it allows you to lift more weight, which means more strength and size in your shoulders as a result. 

The exercise was created by the late muscle scientist, Charles Poliquin, who coached many Olympians and elite athletes. Just like a regular lateral raise, it’s performed with a pair of dumbbells and it targets the medial deltoids, as well as the rear deltoids.
