The Best Shoulder Exercises
http://www.BustYourPlateau.com

This video features exercises to develop bigger and broader shoulders.

The exercises you are about to see are isolation type of exercises that involve using cables instead of dumbbells.

Using dumbbells is very efficient at building bigger shoulder muscles however, when you want to specialize on your shoulders to bring out more definition, you should try to use cables to perform your isolation movements.

Using a cable pulley vs. a dumbbell allows you to provide a constant tension on the muscle at the bottom of the movement as well as a top of the movement.

Be prepared to use slightly less weight when performing cable work on your shoulders since that constant tension will make the exercise more difficult to perform.

I should stress, I urge you to perform your compound movements in the beginning of any of your shoulder workouts and all only follow with these isolation exercises at the end or at the very least near the end of your workout.

If you do not have good shoulder development already I would even go as far as to recommend to not do these exercises as the one not be could to build up massive shoulder muscles.

I only recommend these exercises for people who already have good shoulder development and are looking to carve out more separation between each shoulder head.

That being said here is a list of exercises to perform:

Leaning one arm cable side raises:

When performing this exercise, be sure to hold on to a steady bar and lean away from the cable pulley.

Then once you are in position slowly and under control raise the cable using your shoulder muscles.

Standing front cable raises:

Using one arm at a time with a handle on the cable pulley in the lower position under a controlled movement slowly raise your arm that should be in fixed position until it is at your high level, and then slowly lowered it back down to the starting position.

Standing upright rope rows:

To perform this exercise get a rope and attach it to the bottom cable pulley, standing upright stand close to the cable pulley and perform and operate our row.

Allow your wrist to bend slightly at the top of the movement in a natural fashion that should occur as a result of using the rope.

When performing any of these exercises mentioned above be sure that you focus on the muscle working instead of just performing the movement.

Keep the shoulder muscle as fixed as possible to avoid using too much momentum and taking the stress off the muscle of this being targeted.

  • i head upright rows are very bad for the rotator cuff, anyone care to comment?

  • @flopsy1997xfactor we don't find you and your big jar of icecream attractive either darling

  • @xxsladedethxx this comment actually pisses me off, i guarantee it has nothing to do with the fact that "skinny guys can't gain weight" it's just cause you have no idea how to properly gain lean muscle

  • @xxsladedethxx you have no idea what your talking about. ive been 120 pounds for a long time. i ate right, hit the gym, took protein shakes and weight gainer shakes. now i am past 140. either your not eating right, eating enough or not training right. its a simple process to gain weight. intake more calories than you expend. you just have to work at it. your not going to see crazy ass results right away.

  • @xxsladedethxx I was 135, now iam 146, lifting weights and drinking protein shakes, also good diet.

  • yup. me too bro. i was 160 at one point. but i eat 5 meals a day. 2 shakes. and tho some disagree i take creatine on one month off one month. i am now 190. and i had a lot of trouble gaining weight. its all about dedication and how bad you want it

  • ehh, not to to bad..

  • Great VID!
