Training shoulders may not ignite as much excitement as training your chest, back or biceps, but they should. Not only are shoulders easy to train and maintain, but broadening them out is an effective way to cheat your upper body into looking bigger and broader, and can make your waist appear smaller. What’s better, you don’t even need the gym to give them a blasting, just a pair of dumbbells and these five exercises are enough to leave you with delts for days.
Building strength in the muscles around the shoulder joint is crucial to support overall shoulder health. According to Physical Therapist and Strength Coach, Jeff Cavaliere: “The shoulders are often chronically weak due to undertraining, so having strong shoulders supports the rotational nature of the shoulder joint in all the activities of daily living as well as in your strength training workouts.” He also adds that this will help prevent shoulder injuries, which are extremely common among gym goers, as well as the general population.
