5 basic shoulder exercises for newbies

With only 5 movements you will develop the fullest shoulder muscles.

To create an inverted pyramid body, the shoulder muscle is a factor that cannot be ignored because this muscle is like the foot of the pyramid. Even so, the shoulder muscles are often "forgotten" compared to other muscle groups such as the pectoral muscles or the chest muscles.

The following 5 exercises are considered the most classic for building shoulder muscles. These strength-oriented exercises cause the right shoulder muscles to lift weights quite heavily from 70 to 90% of the practitioner's maximum lifting capacity.

In addition to training, do not forget to supplement your shoulder muscles with protein rich foods that help you gain muscle fast. After the exercise, you should also reward your shoulder muscles with a cup of whey protein to compensate for the damage caused by exercise.

Before starting the exercise, you need to warm up your joints well to avoid injury. Pay attention to carefully rotate the shoulder joint because this is a complex joint area.
