Shoulder Shred

Discover the power hidden in your shoulders with this gym-based upper body workout

Prepare yourself for a complete shoulder workout that takes place in the gym. Shoulder development is essential to achieving a well-defined upper body, and it should definitely be an integral part of your workout routine.

In my personal routine, I like to incorporate a specific shoulder workout at least once a week. However, it is important to note that the shoulders are also challenged through other workouts, including full body workouts, chest, back and arm exercises. This contributes to balanced upper body strength training.

This workout comprehensively targets all three heads of the deltoid, namely the front, middle and back, for complete shoulder development. It is designed to allow you to work this entire muscular region, bringing you closer to your shoulder development and definition goals.
