the best shoulder workout

ashimmatthan Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/06/25	2005/06/25, 01:19 PM hi.... this is the ideal shoulder workout for those who do not want to do the shoulder press or any over-head exercises:- 1.) Dumb Bell Lateral Side Raises Set 1: 15 reps Set 2: 12 reps Set 3: 10 reps 2.) Dumb Bell Front Raises Set 1: 15 reps Set 2: 12 reps Set 3: 10 reps 3.) Side raises for rear deltoids PROCEDURE: sit down on the edge of a bench. place your feet on the ground ahead of you. your legs should be extended and your feet should rest on the heels. place the dumb bells on the floor between your feet and the bench. hold them and raise your arms till they are at shoulder level. your elbows should not be totally bent but they should be soft, maybe at a 130*-145* angle. do not raise them in such a way that the dumb bells are at the same position as the shoulders. the dumb bells should be ahead of the shoulders but parallel to them. Set 1: 10 reps Set 2: 8 reps Set 3: 6 reps 4.) Upright Bar Bell Rows Set 1: 8 reps Set 2: 6 reps Set 3: 6 reps hope you find this helpful...
	2005/06/25, 08:12 PM no such thing as a 'best' shoulder workout.....only specific workouts to fit specific goals of individuals....what are all these reps? if I am a strongman competitor you think this will do? what if i am an 80 year old grandma? i don't get any of your posts....

They are fine for an intermediate to advanced person, but as a beginner pressing movements are fundamental.
	2005/07/01, 09:00 PM they are not enough for anyone....pressing movements are just as important for advanced as they are for beginners....that guy was a joke
