How To Get Shoulders of a Greek God
Do you want massive and rounded shoulders that command respect and attention? Are you sick and tired of working your butt off only to get minimal results? If this is you, I can help you get those world class shoulders that every woman finds extremely attractive. It will definitely take a lot of work, but will be well worth it.
You must understand that there is three heads to the shoulder muscles. You have the front deltoids, the side deltoids, and the rear deltoids. You need to develop all three heads of the shoulders to get full and complete development. And to complete the overall look of having wide shoulders, you must also develop your trapezius muscles.
The first thing you need to do is to start building some serious size, and military barbell presses are great for that. This works the entire shoulder girdle, putting ultimate mass and strength in the shoulder muscles. I would suggest reps between 8 to 12 reps.
Now, lets begin with your front delts. A great exercise that really stresses the front deltoids are barbell front raises. This exercise not only works your front deltoid, but also your side deltoid. I recommend doing reps around 10 to 12 reps.
The next great exercise, which happens to work the front and side deltoids, but also the trapezius muscles, is barbell upright rows. This is another mass building shoulder exercise, like the military shoulder press, that will help you develop very muscular shoulders. You should perform about 8 to 12 reps with this exercise to see some serious muscle growth.
The fourth shoulder exercise is side lateral raises. Side lateral raises work the side deltoids. By working your side deltoids you will get a nice, capped deltoid. You will do side dumbbbell laterals, with reps between eight to fifteen.
Now on to rear deltoids. And just to let you know, rear delts are the least worked muscles of all the shoulder muscles. Yet, you need to really make sure this muscle is symmetrical with your entire shoulder muscles. The best exercise that focuses on rear deltoids is the rear dumbbell lateral raise. You should be doing reps between 8 to 15 on this particular exercise due to the increased density of the rear deltoids.
The last shoulder exercise is going to focus on the trapezius muscles. Barbell Shrugs directly work your traps, giving you that complete and powerful look. I recommend that you do reps of eight to twelve. Now, you need to do at least 4 to 5 sets for each exercise. The shoulder muscles are a very dense muscle group and you will need more volume to really get some serious growth out of your shoulder muscles.
