Shoulders

Tips. Don't overextend the shoulder joint because it is the most complex, and perhaps fragile, joint in the body. Don't use heavy repetitions for front and side raises. When doing the upright row, use a wide grip and don't raise the weight too high as this may cause impingement of the joint.

• Presses - overhead, seated bench
• Arm raises - front, side
• Upright rows
