The most common shoulder exercises are the dumbbell shoulder press and lateral raises; they are both awesome for shoulders and, when done right, can be great movements to add to your workouts. Today I'm going to teach you about the Arnold press. This is one of the most optimal presses to hit, unlike the straight dumbbell shoulder press, which trains the front delta of the shoulder.

When you do common shoulder exercises like the standard press or raises, it focuses on the deltoid medial. When you start incorporating the arnold pores in your workouts, it also works in the front deltoid.

When doing the Arnold press, your start is like a regular dumbbell press. You press up, but on the way down, you twist your arms to 180 degrees so the palms of your hands are facing in.

At first, you might say this feels weird or is way harder to do. Make sure to lower the weight and focus on reps, not too heavy, so you can lift it.

The best way I learned how to successfully figure this out is from Arnoldpress Buff Dudes. His YouTube channel is great in general; he has over 2 million subscribers who follow him for his great lifting advice. He demonstrated how to do this in a very simple way, making it easy for beginners to learn.

To complete a full shoulder workout, you need to hit all three sides of the rear delt, and this exercise is rarely done and not incorporated in most people's shoulder workouts.

The rear delt is one of the most commonly forgotten muscles in the body, so many people forget to train it because they have the common misconception that regular shoulder exercises train the rear delt when most of them do not.

The rear delt fly is so easy and needs to be added to everyone's workouts. If you want to take your shoulder giant to the next level, you have to train the rear delt. This exercise is so easy to do; it's the same as a regular lateraint, except you bend over like you're doing a row and fly backwards.

One of my favorite websites to learn about this is How to Grow Your Shoulders. This website tells you how to do a lot of the best shoulder exercises. Read this, and it will help you understand the scientific part of it. It will help you fix your form and progress your shoulder growth.

I hope you can take all of this into consideration and start doing these to build armor around your shoulders. Follow these workouts and grow proportional good shoulders.

Blog 1 September 13, 2023   Unleashing the gains By: Finley McGehee Welcome to my fitness blog. The purpose of this blog is to share some of my favorite exercises for optimal muscle growth. I want to share my personal experiences in the gym and provide tips for strength performance and muscle development. I started lifting when I was 15 years old, and to say the least, it has been a journey. Lifting taught me so many important life lessons like dedication and discipline. These things factor my day to day life. My physique was something I was insecure about in the past. I once hated going to the gym; but found my love for it when I started figuring out optimal and fun exercises. I started to progress faster, and that's when I became obsessed with the gym. I was seeing growth, and ever since then, I have chased self-improvement through the gym, leading to becoming a better person in other ways. Learning how to lift correctly takes years, and even then, you always find new ways to imp...

Dont forgot about your upper chest

  https://mirafit.co.uk/blog/best-exercises-for-upper-middle-and-lower-chest/ Do you ever see a guy in the gym with a really popped-out chest? It almost looks like his chest is popping out of his body. Having problems developing your chest? One of the main reasons is the lack of upper chest movements.  Most chest exercises target your lower and middle sections. The upper chest is almost forgotten about, and most machines or casual exercises you see just train the lower and middle. I am here to show you a few exercises to help you develop a more fulfilled chest. My personal favoriteI would be an incline bench on a smith machine. It's the same as a regular bench movement except you move the bench upward, making it inclined. You can do the same thing with the dumbbell bench press or incline fly. These exercises will help complete a better balance in your chest.  One mistake that I see a lot of people making is rushing this movement. They will proceed to unrack the weight and...
