This is an explosive movement that can add great power and strength to your deltoids and your trapezius muscles. If you’ve been doing continuous tension, low to zero momentum exercise for a while you will be stunned at the soreness and strength you can develop using this exercise.
The lateral raise is an excellent movement for working the lateral deltoid heads. But even when you reach the top of that movement, you still haven’t maximized the contraction of the delt. Using the technique described here, you will be able to work the lateral delt through a full range of motion.
This simple twist on the shoulder press exercise can double the tension on your delts just by changing the style in which you do the exercise. This one was a favorite of the famous Vince Gironda. He almost always prescribed it to people who wanted to develop big shoulders fast!
Three-In-One Rotator Cuff Raises
Building bullet-proof shoulders requires Rotator Cuff work. The Rotator cuff is responsible for the strength and stability of the shoulder joint itself. If this area is weak, every single exercise that uses the shoulder will suffer. The exercise you will see here combines three different cuff exercises into one unique, time-saving movement, helping you develop amazing shoulder strength and stability very rapidly.
Working the rear delts with heavy weight is generally ineffective. Most trainers will recommend you use really light weights to work this area and for traditional rear delts exercises. They’re right! This exercise, however, targets the rear delts and allows the use of extremely heavy weights (and even momentum) for incredible progress!
