Exercises to train shoulder muscles

Muscles are tissues beneath the surface of the human skin that control human movement. Muscles can gradually grow through exercise, and people's muscles will become more and more shapely and better looking after exercise. In order to maintain a healthy and perfect body, some people need to exercise constantly with equipment to maintain the shape of their muscles. Today I will teach you some exercises to train your shoulder muscles.

1. Give priority to free weights

First shift the focus from machine shoulder press training to free weights, focusing on dumbbell and barbell core movements. This is because free equipment allows more muscles to participate in the force, while also exercising the stabilizing muscles that are "hidden" throughout the body, which can help develop a strong and balanced body.

Free equipment can "force" the body to seek balance in three planes of motion, which is also the way the body moves when it is not normally weight-bearing. It stimulates the muscles from all angles and trains functional strength that is closer to reality. Moreover, compared with fixed equipment training, free weights require the use of full body strength to stabilize the trajectory of the movement, and stability will be greatly exercised and improved.

On the other hand, since the equipment is fixed, your movement trajectory and method will be greatly restricted. This may have a positive effect on insufficient strength and inability to balance the barbell in the later stages of training, because when the strength is insufficient, it is often difficult for the trainee to balance the dumbbells at the top of the dumbbell press.

Therefore, at the beginning of training, when you have the most energy, you should do free equipment with higher intensity and greater difficulty first. When your body is tired, you have no energy or it is difficult to focus on the balance of weight, then choose relatively easier equipment training. You will find that due to the fixed trajectory, you can still use relatively heavy weights, because at this time you do not need to consider whether the movement will be unstable, you just need to push hard and sprint with heavy weights to achieve the ideal effect of "draining" the muscles.

2 Muscle force time

The shoulders (deltoids) are one of the most difficult muscles to grow in the whole body, second only to the calves. This is because the deltoid muscles are endurance muscles rather than explosive muscles. Their original purpose is to provide assistance for arm movements at all times, so the deltoid muscles require a lot of training to get enough stimulation in order to grow.

Heavy weights are one of the high-intensity methods, but heavy weight training is not suitable for the deltoid muscles. This is because the shoulder joint can easily be injured due to excessive weight. Another way to increase the intensity of shoulder training is to prolong the time that muscles exert force, always maintain control during the process of lowering the weight, and be sure to do it at a uniform and slow speed so that the muscles can continue to be in a state of tension and force. In addition, the shorter the rest time between sets, the better, and try not to exceed 2 minutes. The result of this high-intensity training is that your muscles will work harder, but the reward is that they will get more intense stimulation and grow faster and more stably.
