Shoulder workouts for mass – 2 training routines for intermediates +
Hi there guys!
We apologize for not being in touch for quite a long time. Today we prepared 2 awesome shoulder workouts for mass. We will explain difference between those workouts below.
Be warned that these workouts could be really difficult to beginners. And if you are a beginner, we advice you to lower number of sets in each exercise by 1. These workouts below have great benefits.
First of such benefits is strength of course. Without serious strength you will not be able to build any serious mass. It’s as simple as that. So you need to include heavy compound exercises like military presses/dumbbell presses (and not just for shoulders, for every muscle group!) in your schedule.
Another benefit of these workouts is muscle hypertrophy. When your muscles are under heavy tension for some period of time it causes hypertrophy ( = muscle growth). That’s why you will need to do slightly more reps in those next exercises. However, there should be great balance between reps and weights you are using. You must be using weights, which you can lift for 8-9 times. If you are able to do 2-3 additional reps in the end – you are using smaller weights, get something heavier.
Here are those shoulder workouts for mass:
These shoulder workouts for mass are really good for building serious mass and density, plus they will help you with shoulder muscle separation.
Military press/dumbbell press can be done seated or standing. Standing position is preferable due high stress on other muscle groups, especially abs and core muscle. But you need to wear a weight-lifting belt for this; it’s quite stressful for your back. Remember to use “exploding” motion, since it’s a strength training part of the routines.
For side laterals you must have a proper technique. Work it out with very small weights, and when you are comfortable move onto heavier ones. Remember to slightly bend your elbows. Upright rows should be done carefully. Use steady motion without any jerking, and pause for half a second on the top of movement. It’s really heavy on your wrists so it’s better to use EZ-bar for this exercise. Also, we found that gloves with attached straps help to reduce any pain or discomfort in wrist area. These exercises are great for widening your shoulders.
Reverse fly is quite important exercise, as it will help you to prevent shoulder injuries in the long run. People often neglect such small exercises, but it’s a mistake. And of course it will help you to develop posterior (rear) shoulder head.
Shrugs are quite simple exercise, but people still manage to screw it up. Biggest mistake is rolling your shoulders back or forward. You can easily damage your rotator cuff with such motion, because you will be using quite heavy weights. Just keep it straight – up and down, with maximum range of motion.
We hope that these shoulder workouts for mass will be helpful for you! Try those out and leave your comments below.
