Shoulder Exercises

August 26, 2009 · Posted in Exercise Routines 

Shoulder exercises are commonly done by bodybuilders and others looking to gain bulk or definition in their upper body. These same shoulder exercises can be just as valuable to those looking to keep their body’s strong and functional or even those looking to lose weight. There are many shoulder exercises to choose from, many of which are less effective or safe.

This exercise can be conducted with either a barbell or dumbbells. Whichever weight you use, start either standing or sitting with the weight held at eye level with you hands further than shoulder length apart.
