In the last article, we presented you with the best exercises for muscular legs from the community. This time we wanted to know which exercises you put the most weight on your shoulders.

You voted and these are the top 5 best exercises for broad shoulders.

• Shoulder press (barbell / multi-press)
  
  
  Number 1 of the most popular shoulder exercise is the classic shoulder press with the barbell. Whether free or on the multi-press, sitting or standing – in this exercise you can push the most weight with the deltas and you will quickly achieve success. Provided the right technology. The same applies here: no swing! Push the weight explosively, but in a controlled manner ( never stretch your arms! ) And release it slowly and in a concentrated manner. The whole 8 – 12x for 3 – 4 sets and the growth stimulus is secured.
• Lateral lifting (dumbbell)
  
  
  There is hardly any better exercise for the lateral shoulder than classic lateral lifting. Stand upright, in each hand a dumbbell with a weight that you can move about 8-12 times without swing ( yes, exactly, WITHOUT swing! – so take less weight! ). Here, too, the arms are always slightly bent and never extended.
• Lateral lifting (cable pull)
  
  
  Lateral lifting also works wonderfully on the cable pull. After the two-arm dumbbell side lift, I personally like to do oblique one-arm side lift on the cable. So grab a cable from below on the cable tower, hold on to the tower with one arm and lean a little to the side. The other arm takes the cable and now does concentrated sideways lifting. Make sure that the muscle is under tension throughout the entire movement and that you don’t pull too far. Shoulder height is completely sufficient here.
• Upright rowing
  
  
  Rowing upright, pulling the front or scooping. To do this, you simply take a barbell ( also SZ for a more comfortable wrist position ) in the top handle and pull it up to shoulder height with the help of the back shoulders and neck area. Slowly approach your training weight to learn the technique properly.
• Leaning forward (dumbbell)
  
  
  Lateral lifting seems to be really popular with you. 46% from the community regularly perform leaning sideways lifts to strengthen their back shoulders. Stand shoulder-width apart and lean forward almost parallel to the floor. The back is straight with a slightly hollow back. The arms hang down with elbows slightly bent. Now you bring the dumbbells up to the chest level at the side of the arch and hold this position shortly before you concentrate the dumbbells and slowly return them to the starting position

Our top exercises could look like this in a training plan:

• LH shoulder presses 3 sets, 6-8 reps
• Side lift cable pull 3 sets, 10 – 12 repetitions
• Lateral leaning forward 3 sets of 10 – 12 repetitions
