Building bigger, stronger shoulders is great, but the benefits of leveling them up is beyond just that.
Shoulder health, stability, and resiliency can also be improved as well which will save you from LOADS of shoulder pain in the long term.
Here are 5 tips to build healthier and stronger shoulders!
✅ Pull 2 Times More Than You Push - Most people overemphasize pushing movements nowadays which has created a strong imbalance. Strengthen your posterior delts by incorporating more pulling movements in your training program.
✅ Increase Your Strength - The simplest way to build more muscle is with progressive overload which is increasing the total amount of resistance over time. Get stronger in your compound and isolation exercises.
✅ Train In Multiple Angles - Vertical pressing movements aren’t enough to safely target and improve the entire musculature in your shoulders. Try repositioning your body to prone, and supine positions while adding resistance to the front, side, and back of your body.
✅ Include Higher Rep Training - Metabolic Stress occurs when you push your shoulders close to failure with higher repetitions. Incorporate higher rep sets towards the end of your training day to get the muscle building benefits.
✅ Increase Shoulder Volume - Stubborn or lagging shoulders may require more volume to build the size and resiliency you’re looking for. Progressively increase your total amount of sets, reps, exercises, or training frequency to simply add more volume to your shoulder development journey.
