This is quite a short workout (approximately 50-60 minutes), in which you will train only your shoulders. Naturally, I recommend doing it no more than once a week, as the shoulders will be heavily loaded. Six exercises in a row for the deltoids is no joke.

If you are a beginner – forget about this program. This workout is designed only for experienced individuals. After this, your shoulders will truly become broader. And, as I just mentioned, this complex is suitable for both men and women, especially for those who have naturally narrow shoulders. Let’s get started!

Some of the exercises are performed individually, while others are done as supersets (2 exercises under one number). Rest between supersets is 3 minutes. For those who are not familiar with what a superset is, let me explain. You do one set of barbell rows and then immediately, without resting, do one set of dumbbell lateral raises. After that, rest for 3 minutes. Then you repeat the entire process until you complete 3 of these paired sets. Then, you move on to the next pair.

The sets and repetitions for each exercise are indicated without taking warm-up sets into account. However, warming up is only necessary for the first exercise, as the weights used in shoulder exercises are generally relatively light. But you should definitely do a general warm-up before this workout (and other workouts as well).

After the workout, if you have the energy and desire, you can do some abs or cardio on a cardio machine. Just don't overdo it (10-15 minutes). Please let me know in the comments how you felt. Good luck!
