Shoulders as you can see from the illustration above, have three main muscle groups, the Anterior (front), Medial (middle), and Posterior (rear) Deltoid heads.
There are of course the other smaller muscles that comprise the Rotator Cuff, that are quite easy to hurt or damage due to too much weight and bad form.
Having said that the shoulders are so important in our day to day lives that we really need to take care of them and keep them strong even in later life!
In the following Shoulder exercises, we are doing 8 to 10 reps by 4 sets each, increase the weight if you can but not necessary during the session, perhaps next time you do it.
Make sure to pause at the top or contracted position for a second and squeeze the muscle/s.
The tempo is slower on the negative phase of the movement and not too long a rest between sets and exercises is recommended.
Keep hydrated during your session/s and make sure that you warm up and cool down.
