Big Shoulders Make Your Arms Look BIG!

Shoulders are the upper part of your arms which connects with your body. Personally shoulders are the muscles that I feel burn the most. Lets jump to the workouts so like i said in my last blog do a 5-10 minute warm-up. First work out you wanna grab a weight not a dumbell and hold it straight in front of you with both hands for one minute, your arms should make kindof like a 90 degree angle with your body, do 3 sets of this. Next you wanna grab 2 light dumbell somewhere from 5-15 lbs. one for each hand and you are going to do 3 workouts in one set. First one you are going to lift the dumbells up and down like if you were flying, when you are lifting up you wanna go to the height of  your traps 10 times, then lift the dumbells straight in front of you like the first shoulder workout  but you are going to go up and down a total of 20 times, but its 10 times on each arm, final workout of this set your going to have your elbows bent at a 90 degree angle with the dumbells in front of you then lift your elbows (while bent) to your sides to the height of your traps go up and down 10 times and you are done with your multi workout set, do 3 sets of this. This one is sort of like when give a little elbow nudge to get someones attention except you are raising your elbow up to your traps. I usually work out my shoulders with my traps, I recommend doing the same. This concludes some of my shoulder workouts.

  1. Sometimes looking big can just be an illusion. I know kids that only work out their shoulder and chest and they look humongous. These are also the kids that have puny bicep muscles and have chicken legs. I just think its quite humorous that people could get so self-concious about working only one muscle group and not even think about the rest of the body.
    Anyways, I will definitely use this workout for my shoulders next time I hit the gym. My shoulder workouts have been getting quite repetitive so its always good to spice it up. Thanks for the tips. Also, are you ever gonna do a post on say speed training or is it strictly body building?
