Thick, wide
and powerful shoulders not only make heads turn but also provide great strength
in becoming a strongman. Shoulders are the most widely used muscle group in
upper body. Wash board abs are sure aesthetic and might be please in women’s
eyes but when it comes to raw power and brute strength one has to have powerful
and thick shoulders.
I think shoulders
in combination with powerful back define one’s power and prowess in lifting
heavy loads of weights. Most people lack great shoulder development and
sometimes if they do they do lack or the shoulder power isn’t really up to the
mark in terms of functional strength.
I personally
have always had decent shoulder development along with functional strength. Single
most impressive exercise to develop shoulder power would be overhead press in
my opinion. Of course there is clean and jerk and snatch. Other bodybuilding exercises
like lateral raises, front raises and dumbbell or barbell press attacking the
different shoulder heads.
My top picks
for the shoulder exercises are as follows:
Overhead
Press
Clean and
Jerk
Dumbbell /Barbell
Press
Lateral and
front raises.
Do these
exercises and progressively increase the poundage and trust me you will make
the heads turn.
