A Shoulder Workout Routine
What I do know is, a great set of shoulders can really make your body stand out, and building muscle in your shoulders really help to create that powerfully impressive V-shape to the upper body. Impressive shoulder development will turn a regular man or woman into a Superman/Superwoman. They are the key stabilizer muscles for just about every upper body exercise. 
That means they are very important to the symmetry of the body and to the creation an awesome physique.The muscles of the shoulder form a delta shape that wrap from the front of your body to the rear. This is where the term deltoid came from, as the shape resembles a triangle or the triangle shape of a river delta. To be able to have complete symmetrical development of the shoulder, a shoulder workout routine that works the front, side and rear of the shoulder muscle complex is required.
Anterior(front) : Medial(side) : Posterior(rear) Each of them are important in the overall look, development and strength of the shoulder. The trapezius and infraspinatus, although not technically part of the shoulder, are important in the overall structure and stability of the shoulder joint. Shoulder Exercises: Here is a list of the best shoulder exercises to develop the delts. 1. Front Press or Military Press (Front and side shoulders) 2. Behind the Neck Press (Front and side shoulders) 3. Front Laterals (Front shoulders) 4. Side Laterals (Side shoulders) 5. Bent Rear Laterals (Rear shoulders) There are more shoulder exercises, but in terms of the best exercises for maximum shoulder development, these are them. There are variations of these exercises too. You can do Front Press, Military Press and Behind the Neck Press with dumbbells or a barbell. You can even incorporate a twisting motion if using dumbells. Forget all the fancy stuff, the basics are all you need to get great shoulders. Exercise Execution: 1. Front Press or Military Press: Sitting on a bench, lift a barbell onto the top of your chest. Press above your head until you elbows are locked out. Return the barbell to the starting position.

Training Days: Final Thoughts Whether you use SHOULDER WORKOUT ROUTINE #1 or SHOULDER WORKOUT ROUTINE #2, you will get mighty impressive shoulders. I use both of these routines in my workouts. They are basic and they are effective. The only way you can’t get the shoulders of a god is if you don’t do it or half a$$ the workouts.
