Shoulder Exercises, Strength and Definition.
Defining and Shaping Shoulder Muscles.
Flabby shoulders and arms on both men and women are so easily overcome or eliminated with the right circuit training routines. Firming, shaping and defining the shoulder muscles is by far the easiest of all muscle groups. As before, defining and shaping the shoulder muscles as with any muscle group, requires you doing more sets and reps for each shoulder exercise. Very importantly for definition and shaping, you must increase the amount of different exercises you do for the shoulder muscle and change your routines frequently. Avoid sticking to the same routines and the order of the shoulder exercise group. Shoulder circuits and super setting advances the defining and shaping of the Shoulder muscle group.
Shoulder Circuit, Example routine 1.
30+ Minutes Spinning (Warm up).
Shoulder Press: 1 set of 15-18 * 3
Seated Lateral Raise: 1 set of 15-18 * 3
Seated DumbBell Press: 1 set of 10-14 * 3
With the above example, you will do 1 set of Shoulder Press followed by 1 set of Seated Lateral Raise, followed by 1 set Seated DumbBell Press etc, but you need to repeat the exercises 3 times within the Shoulder circuit. Remember to change the order and or the amount of sets and repetitions frequently.
Shoulder Circuit, Example routine 2, with Abs and Triceps.
30+ Minutes Spinning (Warm up).
Shoulder Press: 1 set of 15-18 * 3
Sit ups: 1 set of 30 * 3
Tricep Cable Pushdown: 1 set of 10-12 * 3
Seated Lateral Raise: 1 set of 15-18 * 3
Seated Crunch: 1 set of 30 * 3
Overhead Tricep: 1 set of 10-12 * 3
Seated DumbBell Press: 1 set of 10-14 * 3
Leg Raises: 1 set of 30 * 3
Shoulder Training Grouping and Exercises.
Training the Shoulder muscle. Grouping.
Primary muscle group: Shoulders.
Secondary muscle group: Triceps.
Third muscle group: Neck.
Note: When training your shoulder muscle group it is acceptable and or common that the secondary muscle group (in this case your triceps) tires or burns but never the third muscle group. If the third muscle group tires or burns (in this case your Neck) stop immediatly what you are doing and speak to your fitness trainer.
Strengthening the Shoulder Muscles.
Strengthening the shoulder muscles requires greater resistance on the shoulder muscles typically heavier weights. It also requires a slower and more precise (concentrated) movement for the shoulder exercise. Exercise numbers can be high but generally lower repetitions are exercised due to higher weight numbers. Changing your routine frequently is very important as we want to increase strength for the entire shoulder muscle area.
Shoulder Strengthening, Example routine 1.
Converging Shoulder Press: 6 sets of 8-10 reps.
Seated or Standing Lateral Raise: 5 sets of 6-10 reps.
Shrugs: 5 sets of 8-10 reps.
With the above example we have a lower number of sets as well as a lower number of reps but we will be pushing heavier weights per set. The first set will be lighter than the final set for each exercise. The second last set should generally be the heaviest set within the exercise. Remember each repetition is controlled and concentrated.
Popular Shoulder Exercises.
Olympic Shoulder Press.
Converging Shoulder Press.
Standing Shoulder Press.
Seated or Standing Dumb bell Press.
Seated or Standing Lateral Raise.
Muscle Training Behavior.
Using heavy weights in the gym increases muscle mass and strength.
Using lighter weights combined with greater repetition numbers and cardio exercises, your body burns calories which helps with weight loss.
