Building Up Your Shoulders

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens." -Schwarzenegger

Nothing gives you that dominant feel like a broad set of shoulders. It seems to make your whole upper body look more massive and also provides you with "reverse pyramid" look- healthy waist developing into broad shoulders. We started you off with a Schwarzenegger quote so why not provide you with an Arnold style workout. After all, he is the king of bodybuilding. So here is what we have today:

DB Shoulder Press
4 X 6 reps

• Heavy w/ good form

Arnold Press

5 X 10, 8, 6, 6, 6

• Proper Arnold form video in previous shoulder post

BB Upright Row

3 X 9

• Keep the elbows high

Superset: DB Lateral Raises X Rear Delt Flys

3 X 10

• Form is everything!
• It will maximize gains

Shoulder day seems to be the second most despised workout behind leg day, but like Arnold said 'most people lack the guts to push throughout the pain.' I challenge you all to enjoy today's shoulder workout because of the tremendous growth it will bring to your upper body, opposed to hating yourself for however long it takes you to complete. Workouts aren't burdens. On the other hand, they are opportunities to grow. In life and in the gym, take every opportunity to grow.
