Different exercises

Hellscream Posts: 272 Joined: 2004/02/25	2004/08/16, 08:03 PM Just wondering, why do different exercises? What I mean is instead of doing; lateral raises*3sets shoulder presses*3sets front dumbell raises*3 just do shoulder presses*9. My guess is that the different exercises are to keep you from being too bored and to work different parts of the shoulders, ie front, sides etc. However wont shoulder press work the whole shoulder anyhow? As for the boredom...that depends on the person. -------------- Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory

However raising and pressing yoru arm over head, works the tris as well. When you delt is "pulling" your staraight arms "up" away from the floor, if done right, 100% of that is delt. -------------- if you kick a tiger in the @$$ , you then have to descide what to do with the teath end. any guy can hold a girl by the hand, but only the select few can hold her by her feet!

Bench press without incline, decline, and flyes will not give the shape that I want. Barbell curls without dumbbell curls and others will not round out and shape the biceps. -------------- I will never grow up, just old. Jonathan
