The main feature of the shoulder muscles (deltoid muscles) is their division into 3 bundles (front, middle and back), each of which performs its function.

Therefore, the greatest effect is brought by isolated training of each of these bundles. Hence, the first major mistake of novice athletes is the neglect of this rule and unsystematic training of the shoulders with general exercises for various bundles.

The right technique for training shoulders in the gym

It is optimal to pump the shoulders separately, dividing them into the training of each particular part the shoulder, it is necessary to use the split scheme – that is, what other muscle groups can their workouts be combined with?

The optimal split schemes are as follows:

Bundle of deltoid muscles You can pump on the same day as:
front delts Back muscles, back part of deltas
middle delts Back muscles
back delts Muscles of the chest, front part of deltas

 

Next, you need to choose basic and isolated exercises for shoulder training in the gym. Optimal will be the use of 1-2 basic and 1-2 isolated exercises for each beam.

After choosing the exercises, you can proceed to the preparation of training complexes. It should be noted that for training in the gym, the purpose of which is to increase muscle mass and muscle relief, it is necessary to use a high-intensity load (6-8 reps with a maximum weight) in basic exercises and a high volume (12-15 reps) in isolated ones.
