Best Shoulder Exercises - Endura Gym Supplements

It’s about getting off almost all of the machines and isolation exercises, and getting onto heavy compound movements such as the seated or standing military press.

The Ultimate Shoulder Workout
You will begin your shoulder workout with either Seated or Standing Military Press (with either dumbbells or barbells).

The standing variation brings more of your core into play which is not a bad thing, but some people like to give their core/abs a rest and will resort to the seated variation.

Here is an outline of how you should structure your shoulder workouts;

Start with either the seated or standing military press
Train shoulder muscles (delts) once per week
3 minute rest between sets
5 to 7 reps per set
8–10 sets per workout (for all back exercises added together)
Exercise Choice
The following exercises are particularly effective for building decent shoulders. Each exercise is linked to a demonstration video.
