Shoulder Training Tips

Have you found a killer training tip that will add size to your shoulders? Whether it's building muscle or losing fat, please share what has worked for you. Use the form below to submit your workout. Click on the question marks in the form for help.


The more information you give us about your shoulder training tips the better. Since we all workout in home gyms, our equipment types will vary, so be sure to provide an alternative exercise. For example if your routine calls for 3 sets of 10 reps on a delt raise machine, indicate dumbbell lateral raises as an alternative exercise.

Be as descriptive as possible: how many sets, reps and rep speed, how many days per week etc. After submitting your workout and it’s approved for publishing, your workout will become a web page on this site.

Here's what others have submitted.
