How best to pump your shoulders. Standing barbell row to the chin. Isolation exercises for training deltas

In this article, we will talk about how to build shoulders(delta) and how to do it at home. Also, we will look at the most effective exercises that will make your upper body massive.

For most women, male shoulders are associated with courage and strength. There are even a few expressions that vividly make it clear that strong male shoulders will serve as a consolation for any woman. In our time, gender equality is already commonplace, but once, in ancient times, a woman could not do without a man. To be honest, nothing has changed. Let whatever woman is - independent, strong, even courageous (in our time, when guys follow fashion more than girls), she will always need a strong male shoulder so that they do not talk about gender equality.

In general, broad and massive shoulders are not only a standard of courage, but also an indicator of a harmoniously developed and aesthetic physique that cannot be hidden under any clothes, whatever one may say. In addition, if you develop the shoulder girdle well, many prerogatives will open up in other exercises. Strong and well-developed delts will help increase strength in the bench press and other equally important exercises that are necessary for physical progress.

For bodybuilders, the shoulders play a huge role in many of the poses that are featured in BB competitions. The deltas and trapezius muscle groups should be developed evenly to give the overall physical shape of the upper body a complete and harmoniously developed appearance.

Unfortunately, the shoulder girdle, especially the deltas, is not so easy to develop as it might seem at first glance. Now we will discuss how to build shoulders, namely deltas. In the next article I will tell you about . I would not want to upset people, but it will not work to pump up your shoulders quickly, like any other muscles. Also, it is quite dangerous, since the shoulder joint is the most mobile part of our body, not counting the knee and elbow joints, so the risk of injury increases significantly. Therefore, the training should be carefully worked out and the technique of performing each exercise should be strictly observed in order to prevent any damage.

Many say and complain that they simply cannot swing their shoulders to large volumes. It's not about weights, it's not about the number of sets and reps, it's about the training itself. To pump up big shoulders, you need to approach this issue with an integrated approach and set aside a separate day of the week for training the shoulder girdle, that is, make the training on the shoulders more voluminous.

Injuries of the shoulder girdle or WHY SHOULDERS SHOULDER

In addition to muscular symmetry, also a very important point to focus on is the susceptibility of the shoulder joint to injury (as mentioned above). Many people neglect their safety in pursuit of big weights. This is especially acute for the previously mentioned basic exercise, aimed at developing the pectoral muscles. This obsession with the goal of “shaking a hundred” and showing off to the boys makes many athletes forget about the importance of working out and developing other muscle groups that are no less important. Due to such situations, the increase in working weights and the lagging of the “helper” muscles, people often injure their shoulders, which leads to extremely deplorable consequences in the form of joint pain, ligament rupture, dislocation, etc. To avoid such problems, if you want to protect your shoulders, they must be properly developed so that when lifting heavy weights, the load is evenly distributed to the muscles and joints. In addition, I recommend reading this article - “?”. It details the topic of what needs to be done to avoid damage to the joints and protect them as much as possible.

Before going into the details of how to build shoulders and consider the types of exercises that exist for their training, we will talk and analyze the anatomy of the shoulder girdle. Our deltoid muscles are made up of three bundles of muscles that have three completely different functions. Let's look at each bundle and its function separately.

The front part, that is anterior deltoid muscle raises arms forward and allows movement across the body. This part of the deltas works when performing any pushing actions such as a barbell or dumbbell bench press from the chest, and so on.
medial part, located in the middle of the deltoid muscles, takes the hand to the side. The middle part of the deltas works in all exercises where you need to move your arms to the sides, swing to the sides, and so on. They are also used in some "push" exercises, which are aimed at pumping the anterior bundle of the deltoid muscles. The main task of the medial part is abduction or raising the arms perpendicular to the body.
Back of deltas allows the arms to pull the weight towards them and move the arm back. It works with traction movements, you can observe a vivid example of the work of the rear deltas when performing the isolating exercise “Bringing the arms back in the peck-deck simulator”.

The deltoid muscles work in conjunction with a group of rotating muscles, the so-called rotators., which include four small, deeply located muscles that hold the shoulders in one place, thereby preventing them from moving out of their axis. This muscle group allows the shoulders to perform rotational movements. If the lifter is using the wrong form of the exercise, taking too much weight, thereby overloading the shoulders or leading them to injury, the rotators are usually the first to “feel” such a load. Rotators and deltas always work, with any movement that is performed by the shoulder girdle.

Features of shoulder training

As I said earlier, shoulder training should be approached comprehensively and set aside a separate day for their training. Why should training be voluminous? When we want to pump our chests, we do incline bench presses, in a horizontal position, and some more experienced athletes do incline presses. This method allows you to evenly develop all parts of the pectoral muscles. The same situation is with shoulder training. As we already know, our deltas consist of three beams, so in order for our shoulders to be voluminous and massive, each beam must be developed evenly. We also know that in order to develop a particular muscle group, you need to use at least 2-3 exercises per week. Since each part of the deltas is fully loaded individually, performing a certain exercise on each beam, it follows that in order to completely pump the deltas well, we need to use at least 5-6 exercises, two for each head. So it turns out that in order to work out the shoulders you need at least 40-50 minutes, taking into account the breaks between sets and the exercises themselves, and this is already one full-fledged workout.

One exercise can be assigned to the medial part, since, unlike the frontal head, the middle part of the deltas is also involved in the training of the anterior bundle, not to the full extent, but still.

In training on the shoulders, you need to use both basic exercises and isolating ones. - These are heavy exercises that involve a large number of muscle groups, and more than one joint is involved in the work. in turn, they are aimed at working out a separate muscle, they isolate the load as much as possible, directing it to the target muscle group.

Advice: If you don't have time to set aside one more day for delt training, I can advise you to break each beam workout into three days, slightly extending each of your workouts. For example, on the day of the chest and triceps, you train the front surface of the deltas, on the day of the back - the middle beam, on the day of the legs the back beam of the deltas. It's also a good way out when you want pump up your shoulders but no time.

Best Shoulder Exercises

Many beginners, sometimes even experienced athletes, are faced with such a problem as not knowing the basic and very common exercises that are aimed at working out the shoulders. This is strange, because there are about 50 exercises that are aimed at working out the shoulder girdle, if not more. All of them are very similar to each other, but at the same time, they differ in the way they are performed and in the inventory that is used as a weighting agent. To avoid such problems, let's look at the best and most popular exercises for pumping your deltas. By the way, so that there are no stops during training, carefully consider your time spent in the gym. You can also use a training diary. This helps to concentrate on the implementation of the plan and not to wander around the room, sticking to the mobile phone.

Exercises for the anterior bundle of deltoid muscles

Exercise number 1. The first exercise that we will consider for training the front beam is basic, and is called. It can be performed both sitting and standing, both options will be correct. But as I have said in many articles, safety comes first. If you have the opportunity to perform the exercise while sitting, use it.

Some believe that it is harmful for the spine when the exercise is performed while sitting, especially with heavy weights, since it creates a bilateral load. On the one hand, the bar presses you, on the other, the bench, so the vertebrae are compressed and a negative load is created, but I am convinced that, nevertheless, the exercises should be performed while sitting, since the load on the back is reduced, and less muscles are involved, which helps work out the target muscle group more concentratedly. Although, if you are confident in your strength and back muscles, you can use both options, distributing them over the weeks. If the muscle groups of the spinal region are not so developed, I advise you to read this article - “?”.

The technique for performing the exercise is quite simple:

Place a bench near a barbell rack
Sit on a bench, lean back tightly against the back
Straighten your chest forward and grab the bar using a closed grip (hands apart shoulder-width apart to create a 90° angle at the elbows)
Smoothly, without jerking, lower the bar to the level of the collarbones
Then, also smoothly return to the starting position by squeezing the bar up

Tips:

Perform the movement to the bottom point on the inhale, and return to the starting position on the exhale.
Since the exercise puts stress on the spine, it is important to keep air inside the chest to create pressure, helping the spinal column and avoiding injury (if the weight is heavy enough).
It is not recommended to lift too large weights.
You can use the help of an outside person to help you remove the barbell from the rack. Feel free to ask other people for help.

Exercise #2 . This basic exercise is famous for its name -. It involves the anterior and medial bundle of the deltoid muscles. In addition, shoulder rotators are actively involved in the work. In principle, as I said earlier, they are involved in any movement of the shoulders, so this is obvious.

If you are doing the Arnie Press while seated, place a bench in front of a mirror. If not, stand in front of a mirror. This is necessary in order to follow the technique, and not admire yourself, as many people think.
Take dumbbells, press your back firmly against the back. Using a closed grip, position the dumbbells so that your palms are facing back and the back of your hand is facing a mirror.
Gently begin to squeeze the dumbbells up while turning your arms. When the elbows reach shoulder level, the palms should face forward and the back of the hand back.
Upon reaching the peak point, do not fully straighten your arms.
Return to starting position.

Exercise #3 . Most people are sure that this exercise is aimed at working out the medial bundles, but this is not so. Try to imagine what you are doing. Turn your arms around like you're holding a barbell behind your head and look at your delts. While raising the arms to this position, the middle bundles of the deltas go down, and the front ones turn a little, ending up approximately where the middle bundles used to be.

Proper technique and tips:

The technique is exactly the same as in the very first exercise, except that now we will squeeze the barbell from behind the head.
The exercise is not safe enough, since the shoulder joint and its movements in this exercise are not natural. Many trainers do not recommend doing it. In any case, use light weights (about 8-12 reps).

Exercise #4 . The next exercise is called -. This is an isolation exercise that will help you target your front delts.

Exercise technique:

Grab the dumbbells and stand up straight with your chest straightened out.
Raise your right arm slightly above shoulder level, holding at the peak point for 1-2 seconds.
At the peak, try to feel the target muscles.
Return your right hand to its original position without completely relaxing it and leaving muscle tension.
Raise your left hand and repeat the movement with a delay at the peak.

Exercise #5 . Speaking of isolation, one cannot fail to recall a wonderful exercise that imitates barbell presses from the chest. This exercise is called vertical bench press in the simulator". I advise you not to forget about it in order to diversify your workout.

When performing this exercise, the main part of the load lies on the anterior and medial bundles of the deltoid muscles. Of course, by and large, the load goes precisely to the front beams.

Technique for correct bench press:

Sit in the simulator and press your back tightly against the back.
Grasp the handles, the back is straight, the chest is straightened forward.
Start slowly pressing the weights on the exhale. At the peak point, the arms remain slightly bent at the elbows.
On an inhale, we return to the starting position. At the same time, the hands are not completely relaxed until the end of the exercise. Returning to the bottom point, bring your elbows to about shoulder level, maybe a little lower (to stretch the muscles).

Exercises for the medial beam of the shoulders

Exercise #1 . There is one purposeful exercise for the middle bundle of deltas, which is called "". This is a fairly easy exercise that has several variations and is aimed specifically at the medial head. The rest of the exercises that involve the middle beam mainly focus the load on the front beam, and the middle one does not receive the proper load.

This exercise is quite simple to perform, just spread your arms to the sides. The body remains motionless, only the shoulders work, the elbow joint is in a fixed position, slightly bent.

The correct technique for lifting dumbbells through the sides:

Take dumbbells and stand up straight. Legs shoulder width apart. When lifting the dumbbell, bend your elbows slightly.
Inhale deeply, then as you exhale, raise the dumbbells to shoulder level or slightly higher.
Return to starting position. At the bottom point, do not relax the muscles of the hands. Keep them tense until the end of the set.

Exercise #2 . The second exercise will be pulling. - This is a basic exercise, because it involves a large number of muscles and several joints, namely: the shoulder and elbow. If you want to pump exactly the middle and back bundle of deltas, and not the trapezoid, I advise you to pay attention to the width of the grip, it should be slightly wider than the shoulders.

Correct technique:

Take the bar in your hands with a closed grip and straighten your spine. Bend at the waist. Tilt your torso slightly forward so that our body does not interfere while lifting the barbell to the chin. Regarding the width of the grip, the hands should be shoulder-width or wider.
Take a deep breath and as you exhale begin to pull the bar to your chin. No need to do any jerks. Traction performs smoothly.
When you reach the peak point, slowly return to the starting position.

Exercise #3 . The third exercise is an alternative to the barbell chin row, the difference is that instead of a barbell we will use dumbbells. It may seem to many that due to the absence of obstacles in the form of a neck, it will be possible to increase the amplitude, thereby increasing contractions in deltas, and so on. But, unfortunately, this is not a false theory. To use the shoulders to the maximum, all we need is to work them out in isolation. In order for the load to go exactly on the shoulders, it is impossible to lift the weight above shoulder level, otherwise the trapezius muscles will be included in the work, which is highly undesirable. Try to stick to a short amplitude, and “mentally” focus on the middle and rear bundle of the deltoid muscles. can also be done with one hand.

Technique for performing dumbbell rows to the chin:

Take dumbbells in your hands and stand straight. Also, as in the barbell version, bend at the waist and tilt the body slightly forward.
Inhale and as you exhale, begin to raise your elbows to shoulder level.
Taking a smooth breath, return to the starting position, leaving the muscles of the hands in tension.

Tips:

Try to concentrate on lifting not dumbbells, but elbows.
Do not raise your shoulders, they must be in a stationary state so that the trapezoid is not included in the work.
Also, in order not to use the trapezoid, you can not get your elbows over shoulder level.

Exercises for the frontal or posterior bundle of deltoid muscles

How to pump up the rear deltas? Rear delt training consists mainly of pulls and a few exercises that use swings or arm raises. Actually, let's take a look at them.

Exercise #1 . To work out the rear deltas in isolation, the exercise "" will come to our aid. Why is this exercise very good for our rear delts? Because it is performed in the simulator, the body is in a fixed position, and we can concentrate the load on the rear bundles of the deltoid muscles as much as possible.

Technique for abducting hands back:

Sit in the simulator and press your chest tightly into the back. Bring your shoulders slightly forward so that the trapezius muscle is stretched along the back and not included in the work.
As you exhale, take your hands back, concentrating on the back bunches of deltas.
On an inhale, return to the starting position.

Exercise #2 . The second exercise also creates an insulating load on the back of the deltas. It's called " ". This is a great exercise that has a lot of options for doing it, so I advise you to pay attention to it.

Exercise technique:

First of all, you need to prepare the workplace. Take a free bench, put it in front of you (with its back to you, as shown in the picture). Take the dumbbells in your hands and bend forward, resting your forehead on the back.
Bend your elbows slightly and as you exhale, begin to take your hands behind your back (to shoulder level).
Then, slowly return to the starting position.

How to build shoulders at home?

Without inventory, pumping up your shoulders at home will not work. Of course, you can do push-ups, do pull-ups on the horizontal bars, but this will not give you the desired effect from training. To swing your shoulders at home, you will need sports equipment in the form of two collapsible dumbbells from 5 to 20 kg and preferably a barbell with pancakes. If you have such equipment, you can perform all of the above exercises. Instead of a special bench, you can use a chair. If there is nothing at all from the inventory, and the nearest hall is 100 km from the house, then you can use bottles filled with water or sand. Also, you can use buckets with the same content. As the saying goes: “If there is a desire, there will always be an opportunity!”.

Be extremely careful when exercising at home. For example, if they can insure you in the gym, then at home I don’t think there is such an opportunity, so do the presses while standing so that you can drop the barbell to the floor at any time.

Shoulder muscle training program

1.The first shoulder training program is displayed on a separate day. The fact is that the shoulder joint is the most common area that gets injured, this is primarily due to heavy weights or neglect of the warm-up before training. To make your shoulder joint less prone to injury, I advise you to warm up well, then start the first exercise with “pump” approaches in order to warm up and pump up our shoulder girdle with blood as best as possible.

A man with a triangular figure looks sexy. Broad shoulders, embossed torso, toned stomach excite the imagination of ladies. To have such forms, the future athlete needs to seriously work. The proposed training program will help pump deltoid muscles, trapezium, arms and chest.

Deltoid bundles are easily injured, so strict adherence to technique is required.

The following exercises are effective for training the shoulders:

shoulder presses;
for isolated study of the deltoid muscles.

Warm up the shoulder joint swinging arms, writing out circles with elbows, pulling up. Exercises on the horizontal bar will make the shoulders powerful. Horizontal pull-ups, a wide grip will work out the middle, frontal beams. For the roundness of the back muscle, techniques with inverted shoulders, reverse narrow grip, and hanging are relevant.

Pushup Variations

We turn to push-ups from the floor. The main load falls on the thoracic region, quadriceps, to a lesser extent on the shoulders. The emphasis on the muscles depends on the position of the hands.

In a narrow position, triceps work, the frontal (front) bundle of the delta;
With a wide tension is shifted to the biceps, chest, middle, front of the shoulders.

Push-ups with legs on a support.

We put our feet on a support, hands on the floor;
The body slightly lowers to the floor;
For maximum load on the shoulder muscles, we perform shallow movements.

20 times for 3-4 sets.

Push-ups on one hand

This exercise will increase the mass of the shoulder girdle, load the triceps as much as possible.

We become in a horizontal position;
We take the left leg to the side;
We transfer the weight of the body to the right hand, we place the left hand on the waist.

Keeping balance, proceed to the exercise.

First, we go no deeper than 15 cm. Over time, we add 10 cm.

10 times x 2 sets.

Push up upside down

Advanced level exercise. Deltas, biceps, triceps will be shocked. Along the way, coordination and balance will develop:

stand next to the wall;
we distance ourselves 2 steps back, take a sharp step, lean on our hands, throw our legs up;
we place the brushes 15 cm from the vertical.
A similar pose is taken from all fours. Leaning on the wrist, we go to the wall with our feet. When about 25 cm remains to the support, we take a vertical position.
We rest our palms on the floor, arms wider than shoulders, heels at the top;
We do not lean on the wall with our buttocks;
Gently bend your elbows until your head hangs above the surface. We do not touch the floor with the crown;
We unbend our arms, we return to the height.

We repeat as much as possible.

Dumbbell Workout

We alternately lift the load in front of us.

The goal is to load the front head of the delta.

Dumbbells (starting with 2 kg) are held in the palms;
We pull one brush forward, up, straight up above the head;
Controlling the movements at each point, slowly lower;
Having reached the level of the face, we raise the second hand;
Without going to the sides, we vertically spread our arms in opposite directions.

We accept the basic position, we hold the dumbbells with our palms to the body;
Arms bent, elbows tense;
Hold your breath, stretch your arms forward;
Having reached the border of the shoulders, we turn our arms wide so that the little fingers look up, raise them above our heads;
On straight arms, lower the load down.

The position of the shoulders should allow the arms to move in the plane of the body.

In order not to burden the spine, we perform lifts at a slow pace.

Mahi dumbbells in an incline

We give roundness to the rear bundle of deltas. The muscle does not like a big load, so we choose equipment with a moderate weight.

We take dumbbells with a neutral grip;
When spreading the arms, we tilt the upper body parallel to the floor. The back is arched at the waist. Straight elbows are fixed in statics until the end of the exercise;
At the same time spreading the dumbbells to the sides, we try to raise our arms as high as possible. We make movements directly on the course. In the top position, pull the elbows above the back.

13-20 reps in 4 sets.
An integrated approach with alternating body weight and weighting will provide excellent results. Deltas recover quickly, therefore, for a delineated contour, you need to train every other day, while eating a lot of protein, and observing the water regime.

Every man wants to have beautiful, pumped up and embossed shoulders, which are considered the first quality of an indicator of male strength and confidence. However, constant work, eternal affairs simply do not give the opportunity to visit the gym at least 3-4 times a week. In these situations, you can do exercises for the shoulders yourself at home. To do this, there is a certain basic complex that can be easily applied daily.

So how to build shoulders at home? To do this, you need to perform a certain technique, in which the main emphasis is on the upper arms and shoulders.

Features of the organization of training

You make up the entire training for doing at home from basic exercises, the direction of which is to pump the entire delta. But pumping a separate beam is recommended only in those cases when it began to lag behind in development or the load exerted on it is not enough. In other cases, there is no need for isolation type training.

Of course, doing shoulder exercises in the gym is much easier, because in these places there are special equipment and instructors who will help you carry out the whole process correctly. But if there is no opportunity and time to visit these places, then in these cases everything can be done at home. In these cases, such devices as dumbbells and a barbell must be available.

In addition, before starting to perform basic exercises for the shoulder girdle, be sure to pay attention to the following recommendations:

The weight is selected so that during one approach at least 8-10 lifts can be performed;
In order to give relief and width to the shoulders, you should not take a very large mass;
It is worth increasing the load, namely, working with heavy weight shells when it is necessary to increase strength and strengthen muscles;
To strengthen the muscles, it is necessary to lift shells from 5 to 8 times, while lifting should be done in 4-5 sets;
For beginner athletes, first of all, it is worth paying as much attention as possible to the implementation of the entire complex, learning and mastering all the exercises and one or two shoulder presses.

This program perfectly develops the deltoid muscles, provides an even distribution of the load on the entire area of the shoulder girdle.
