How to broaden your shoulders

Hi guys,

Here's a couple of tips on broadening your shoulders. I hope that they are useful.

A lot of people pump away at their shoulders for hours in order to develop broad shoulders, performing set after set of shoulder press. This does thicken the shoulders to a point, however to develop broadness, rather than just thickness, a different strategy is called for.

There are three distinct heads to the shoulder muscle (or Deltoids). The Anterior Deltoid (front of the shoulder), the Posterior Deltoid (back of the shoulder), and the Lateral Deltoid (side of the shoulder). Now what you really want to focus on for that broad shouldered look are the Lateral Deltoids. This may be accomplished as follows.

The Lateral Raise

This exercise should be performed with a dumbbell in each hand and the arms slightly bent. The movement should begin with the weights held together in front of the body, whilst stood up. The arms should then be raised so that the weights are parallel with the shoulders and then lowered slowly.

This is an exercise that I swear by!
Anyway thats my 10 cents worth for the day

I preform 3 sets military press, 3 sets of lateral raise, 3 sets of posterior delt raise. This man speaks the truth.

I heart the lat raise - working my shoulders heavy really improves my swimming.

Comound lifts like military presses are better mass and strength builders than isolation movements like lateral raises.
