Different Kind of Optional shoulder exercises

Shoulder is an important part of your body, and if you want to build broad, round and strong shoulder then optional exercises play an important role to achieve this goal. Here, we give you some best optional shoulder exercises.

1. Cable lateral raises: It is an excellent exercise to build side deltoid muscle. Hold the right hand pulley with your left hand and the left hand pulley with your right hand. Keep your back straight and extend your arms outward and upwards until it reaches higher than your shoulder. Stretch as far as possible and get back to the starting position.

2. Shrug exercise: Shrug is an important exercise to build massive muscle mass in the trapezius. Stand straight with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Don’t bend your elbows and raise your shoulder as high as possible. Perform this whole movement in a controlled motion and return to the starting position. Only move your shoulder and keep the rest of the body steady.

3. Upright rows: Hold a bar with a narrow overhand grip. Lift the bar and get it as close as possible to your chin. Now, elevate your shoulder to squeeze your trapezius muscle. Lower the bar and get back to the starting position under controlled motion. Keep your back straight and avoid jerky movements throughout the exercise.

4. One arm cross cable laterals: It is a very useful exercise to build the outer head of deltoids. Hold a low floor pulley with one hand. Now, extend your arm outward and upward as far as possible. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other side.

5. Push press: Press is an excellent exercise to develop deltoid strength and muscle mass. Stand straight and hold a barbell at the shoulder level. Bend your knees and press the bar with the leg muscle strength. It will help you to lift the additional weight than normal shoulder presses.
