  • Shoulder Workout 2: All the angles

  • Enjoy this shoulder workout team!

    The first phase of this workout with the presses and upright rows are your classical weight lifting moves for all over shoulder strength.

    The second phase with the isolation work is for shape and fullness of the muscle. There are 3 different types of loading:
    - In a side raise the max load is at the top of the move
    - In a side lying side raise max load is at the bottom
    - In a cable side raise max load is at the mid point

    This ensures you work your shoulders from every angle!

    2. Upright Row,  3-5 sets,  8-12 reps
