Summary of How I Grew Wider Shoulders FAST (5 Science-Based Tips)
00:00:00A few months ago, I asked my girlfriend which muscle I should grow to enhance my physique, and she said shoulders. Despite not being genetically gifted with broad shoulders, I took on the challenge by making five training adjustments. The key to achieving wider shoulders is focusing on the side delts. By incorporating exercises that challenge the muscles in a fully stretched position, such as behind-the-body cable lateral raises, significant growth can be achieved. Training volume for shoulders should be optimized as they recover quickly but still require adequate rest between sessions.
00:02:37To maximize shoulder growth, train the same muscle group up to three to four times a week. Doing two shoulder workouts a week fit better into the routine, focusing on sets of dumbbell lateral raises and cable lateral raises. Using lighter weights and aiming for 15-20 reps with controlled form before increasing weight gradually is key to growth. Increasing intensity during lateral raises by pushing through the burn can make a significant difference in shoulder development. A gradual increase in weight, combined with controlled form, can lead to noticeable shoulder growth over time. Join a fitness program for personalized guidance in achieving shoulder growth.
00:04:60To maximize muscle activation during lateral raises, it is suggested to push to within three to five reps of failure. Pushing through mental limits can help you achieve more reps and stimulate muscle growth. Consuming a calorie surplus diet, including high-calorie foods, is essential for muscle growth. Balancing front and rear deltoid training is crucial for a well-rounded shoulder development. The focus should also extend to leg and calf exercises for overall muscular development.
