Building Shoulder Muscles Means Lifting Heavy Weights

Building impressive wide, thick shoulder muscles is essential to having a well rounded physique (plus the ladies love em’!). A lot of guys get stuck on shoulders doing the same unsuccessful exercises week in week out with little results. If you want big shoulders you need to be moving some heavy weight. This means doing one of the 2 big shoulder movements every time you work your shoulders. These movement are Military Press and Dumbbell Shoulder Press (pictured).

You want to be getting about 6-10 good reps on these movements, for at least 4 sets. Focus on progression of weight and reps and mix these 2 exercises up to keep your muscles guessing. Don’t forget to warm your shoulders up thoroughly before every heavy shoulder workout. You won’t be lifting anything with a torn rotator cuff
