So Here Is Our Recommended Top 5 Exercises To Build Shoulders.

      Exercise - 1

      Barbell Push Press

The Barbell Push Press Allows You To Lift Up The Heavy Weights Above All Other Overhead Pressing Movements. It's One Of The Best Exercise To Perform For Developing Explosiveness And Strength, So You Lose Some Of The Isolation Effect If You Do This Same Movement Seated.

With Barbell At Top Of Your Upper Chest, Do Bend Your Knees Slightly And Press Upward. While You Perform This Movement Your Lower Body, Triceps, Core, And Pecs Are Engaged. This Is One Of The Best Compound Exercise Which Can Develop Strength And Shape Up Your Upper Body.

Steps :

1.) To Start This Exercise Start Off With A Weighted Barbell In Front Of Your Feet And Raise It Slightly So That It Is Parallel With Your Shins.

2.) Lower Your Hips And Bend Your Knees A Bit While Keeping Your Back Straight So That The Weight Of The Bar Is Rested Upon Your Heels.

3.) Pull Up The Bar So That It Reaches The Mid Thigh Positiom Then Perform A Jumping Movement, Which You Extend Your Knees And Hips Allowing The Bar To Move Upward. Keep The Bar Pressed Up And Rested Against Your Palms And Shoulders.

4.) Then While In A Squat Position Push Your Torso Upward Thrusting With Your Hips, Quads And Heels Keeping Your Knees Bent Slightly And Straighten Out Your Back.

5.) With The Barbell Pressed Up Overhead, Spread Your Legs Out With One Leg Stretched Out A Bit Forward And The Other Pushed Back Slightly Maintaining The Clean Press Overhead. Hold On This Position For Few Seconds.

6.) Return Back To The Starting Position By Letting The Barbell Roll Down Off Your Shoulders And Lightly Bring It Back Down To The Floor. Repeat This Exercise For As Many Reps As Needed.

       Exercise - 2

       Seated Overhead Barbell Press

This Is The Best Exercise To Lift Weights In Linear Position Because Sitting Not Only Makes It Hard To Use Momentum But It Also Creates A Greater Degree Of Your Arms Musculature Than Dumbbells Can. 

While Performing When You Lower The Bar To The Front, Observe How  Your Upper Arms No Longer Move Directly Out To Your Sides. Some Lifters Lower The Bar Behind Their Head, Which More Directly Isolates Middle Portion Of Your Shoulders But I Recommend To Lower Bar Behind Your Head Since You Are Not Going To Injur Yourself.

While You Start Your Exercise Do This As A First Or Second Exercise With Using The Weights You Can Handle. Use Sitting Bench If You Are Gonna Lift Heavy Weights. It Will Not Injur Your Lower Back. The Stress With Be Less

Steps :

1.) Start Off By Sitting On A Bench With Your Toes Pointing Forward, Keeping Your Back Straight And Core Tight.

2.) Grab The Barbell With An Overhand Grip And Keep Your Hands Shoulder-Width Apart.

3.) When Bringing The Barbell Down Towards Your Body, Make Sure That It Is In Line With Your Chin Hold For A Count Then Push Back Upward Over Your Head By Extending Your Arms.

4.) When Reaching The Positiom Above Your Head, Pause And Hold For A Count, Then Return Back To The Starting Position.

      Exercise - 3

     Upright Row

 This Is Again The Compound You Can Say A Multijoint Exercise Which Targets The Middle Upper Portion Of Your Shoulders. This Exercise Has Various Variations Like Using Smith Machine Or Cables But I Recommend Perform This Eith EZ Bar. Because The Grip And Balance Will Be In Control So You Can Perform It Better. Don't Take A Close Grip, Which Can  Indirectly Rotates Your Shoulders Internally Instead You Should Take A Late Wider Grip.

Wider Grip Significantly Activates Greater Deltoids Minimizing The Use Of Biceps In Performing The Exercise, Which Means It Is Great For Middle Delts.

Even Though It Is Another Compond Exercise, Don't Do It On Starting But Try To Do It After Finishing Overhead Press. You Can You Do It With Lighter Weights And After Completing This You Will Feel Some Kind Of Pump In Your Shoulders.

Steps :

1.) Start Off Standing Up Straight With Your Feet Shoulder Width Apart.

2.) Grab The Barbell With An Overhand Grip.

3.) Once You Have A Grip Raise The Bar Towards Your Chin Elevating And Contracting From Your Shoulders And Traps, Untill It Is About Collar Bone Level

4.) As Soon As You Reach The Top Position Hold For A Count Then Slowly Lower The Bar Back To The Starting Position.

      Exercise - 5

      Dumbbell Lateral Raise

This Is A Great Exercise To Perform For Developing Middle Deltoids, But While Performing It's Very Tough Than They Look. Begginers Often Have Trouble Learning How To Lead With Their Elbows. They Also Tend To Rest In Betweem Or At The Starting Point Of Exercise, Bu It's Better To Stop The Downard Position When Thier Hands Are About 30 Degree To Thier Sides.

You Cannot Perform This Exercise With Heavy Weights. On Some Sets Take The Motion About 30 Degrees Of Your Shoulder Height For Longer And Complete Range Of Motion.

Start With Medium Weights As You Complete Your Sets Starting Dropping Weights Your Last Set Would Be Lighter Set Of Your Exercise Routine.

While You Perform This Exercise It Will Be Targetting The Middle Delts. If You Want To Bring Them Up, You Should Do This Exercise First. If Your Deltoids Need More Defined Look Or More Work Than Do This Exercise A Last.

Steps :

1.) Start Off Standing Up Straight With Your Feet Shoulder-Width Apart, Keeping Your Core Tight And Holding A Dumbbell In Each Hand With Your Palms Facing Towards Your Body.

2.) Slightly Bend At Your Knees And Then Slowly Raise Your Arms At Your Sides Untill Your Palms Face The Floor.
