Having broad, solid shoulders are an essential part to a total body development workout. Shoulder work is often neglected in favor of more visible muscles such as the chest, arms and abdominal muscles. In some respects, this is acceptable as the shoulders receive a lot of indirect work from most exercises as the press bench. However, I do believe the exercises that target the shoulders directly are necessary to develop the muscles of the shoulder to its maximum potential. I will highlight the best exercises to achieve this result.
