This is a 15 minute follow along dumbbell shoulder workout you can do at home or the gym!

Building your shoulders are all part of creating a defined upper body and should definitely be part of your training…I like to incorporate shoulder specific training at least once per week however they also get worked during other workouts such as full body, chest, back and arm sessions!

This is a follow along shoulder workout with dumbbells hitting all 3 deltoid heads (front, middle and rear) for those capped shoulders.

You will need a pair of dumbbells and a mat. For your reference I am using 2 x 8kg. I always try to pick 1 pair of dumbbells to show how you can train if you don’t have access to a wider range of dumbbells. This 8kg weight per hand is the max I would go for my rear delt flyes hence this is the weight I picked.

I know many of us love no repeat but multiple sets definitely have their place in strength training. We will be completing 3 sets of the following:

ALTERNATING PRESS
CLEAN TO PRESS
90° ELBOW LATERAL RAISE
DIAGONAL PRESS (x 1 dumbbell)
REAR DELT FLYES

Finisher!!!
PRESS (x2 dumbbells) straight into…
PRESS (x1 dumbbell)!!

The exercises are for 30 seconds each, with 30 seconds rest before next set!

If you are new to shoulder training, please take care with lifting weight above head and ensure you are using a suitable weight.

Maintain slight bend at elbows for all raises, keep knees slightly bent when standing and keep core tight throughout.

I hope you enjoy this workout… and the pump!!

The perfect shoulder workout should consist of exercises for your front delts, middle delts and rear delts (not necessarily in that order!). That said, even that doesn’t make the shoulder workout complete. In order to round out your shoulders with a well rounded workout you need to fill in the gaps of what is lacking on those popular shoulder exercises. That is what we do in this video.

If you look at the four main exercises that people do in their shoulders workout you will see barbell or dumbbell overhead press, side lateral raises, front delt raises and maybe even dips. Take a close look into each of these classic movements and you will see one thing in common. That is, each of these exercises is lacking either a stretch position of the shoulder or doesn’t take the muscle through it’s full available range of motion.

This is a problem when it comes to developing a complete set of impressive shoulders. Just because you are going through a full range of motion on the exercises that you are doing it does not mean that you are taking a muscle through its full range of motion. For instance, all shoulder exercises are performed by changing the angle of the arm at the shoulder. Because the shoulder is a three dimensional ball and socket joint, you have a great deal of motion available to you on your shoulder exercises.

That said, we often overlook the fact that the shoulder joint is not just this ball and socket. Because the socket is technically the shoulder blade, you have to consider all of the other muscles that are connected to these bones that then play an important role in shoulder training. Not just that, but hypertophy should never be the only goal of your shoulder workouts. In order to be complete like an athlete you are going to have to incorporate some movements that train the explosiveness of the entire shoulder girdle and let you train all of these muscles together.

The solution to this problem is to not forego the popular mass building shoulder exercises or even the lighter ones geared at mass but add to them, and overlook no element of complete training. Here is how to construct the perfect shoulder workout with that in mind.

Warmup with Overhead Banded Press – 2 sets of 15 with 3 second holds each rep.

OHP or Handstand pushups – 4 sets of 12,8,6,6 reps
Finish with one set of dumbbell and band overhead presses for neuromuscular re-education x 15 reps

Delt Stretch Tri-Set (21’s) – 2-3 sets of 7 reps in each direction for rear, middle and front delts
Make sure you perform these in the order of rear to front to account for fatigue.

DB Cheat Laterals – 3 sets to failure on each arm
Immediately into a DB Push Press to failure on each arm

Cable or Banded Face Pulls – 3 sets of 15
Perform these with a mindset of 15 sets of 1 to ensure highest quality of every rep.

When you put this together in the format as I’m suggesting here, you not only now hit the shoulders through their full range of motion but you hit every area of the shoulders as well. The drop down allows for the lesser intense exercise to be more taxing since it was just preceded by a more difficult compound lift.

This is just one example of how to apply science to your shoulder workouts. If you want to train like an athlete you want to put science back in every workout you do. You can do that with the ATHLEAN-X Training Programs available at the link below and get started right away on building a ripped, muscular, athletic body.
