    Strong Shoulders

    Hey Everybody!!

    Today’s workout is all about working out your shoulders! This workout is with free weights and a cable machine. You can always alter my workout if you only want to use the cable machine or only free weights. You just do the same movements. I like to switch it up so that I don’t get bored. I like to do these around 1-2 times a week, as it fits in my workout regimen. I also change the amount of weight I am lifting, based on how I am feeling that day. Most of these I use 5-10 pounds, except shoulder press I do 20-30 pounds. Remember to always listen to your body, which will decrease your risk of injury.

    Do 4 sets of the following:

    10 Cable Front Raise

    10 Standing Dumbbell Lateral Raise (you can do this with cable’s as well, one arm at a time)

    10 Dumbbell Shoulder Press

    I have included a video below so you can see what each of these looks like.

    Shoulder Giant Set

    Hey Everybody!

    Today’s workout is a shoulder giant set! So let’s go through a couple definitions to get started, they can be very confusing. A superset just means that you are going straight from exercise to exercise without rest, generally two different exercises back to back! A giant set is just like a superset, except it includes three or more exercises. You will complete all three moves without taking a break! Benefits of supersets and giant sets are: building muscles and endurance, burning fat, and boosting performance. 

    I use these in my workouts occasionally as I see fit. I do not recommend doing this with all your workouts as it can mess with your metabolism. Today’s workout is all about building your shoulders. I like to use 5-10 pound dumbbells depending on the day. 

    4 sets of 10 reps 

    10 Incline Bench Front Raises 

    10 Seated Lateral Raises

    10 Seated Bent-Over Later Raises  

    Here is a video on how to do each of these exercises.

    As always, listen to your body. If something hurts don’t do it. You can get a good workout without using weights, if using weights is too much for you. I do this whenever my shoulder is bothering me and I still can feel it.
