How To Get Bigger Shoulders - Tips and Shoulder Workout for Mass




Shoulder Workout for Mass





One of the most important things for a great V-taper is big shoulders and the main mistake that lifters make is doing the same workout over and over and many of them are neglecting one or two shoulders heads.



You need to focus on all three heads, front, medial and rear shoulders because if one head of the muscle is lagging you won't build proportional good-looking shoulders.



The best way to force your shoulders to grow is to mix your workouts from time to time. Don't let your muscles to adapt to the same exercises and weights over and over. Make some changes from time to time, shock your muscles. 





How to get bigger shoulders:




1. A lot of heavy shoulder presses using a barbell or dumbbells (80 - 85% of 1 RM) in the first place. Don't forget to lift with a good form.


2. Do more side laterals - it is a great exercise for building up your shoulder muscles. 


3. Perform upright rows with a wide grip which allows you to work the muscles on the outer edges of your shoulders which will help you build wider shoulders.


4. Hit rear shoulders with bent-over lateral raises which is very similar to side lateral raises, but you perform them while bent over.


5. Perform more wide-grip pull ups on your back day which will also work your shoulders along with biceps and back muscles. 


6. Focus on the medium number of reps (8-12) instead of a higher reps number.





One very common mistake that lifters make when training their shoulders is that they are using too much weight and perform the exercise with very poor form. Try to improve your form, use a full range of motion. 



When performing lateral raises don't just swing dumbells at your side, slower the eccentric phase and try to focus on hitting your muscle with lighter weights. Leave your ego at home, you are in the gym to build muscle, not ego.
