Jun 24, 2025

Overview

This session details a structured shoulder workout consisting of a triset of three exercises and a focused shoulder stretch routine. Key tips for exercise form and execution are provided to maximize effectiveness and minimize risk.

Shoulder Triset Workout Routine

  • Start with rear delt raises for 15 reps to increase blood flow.
  • Perform side lateral raises for 10 reps, focusing on tension and avoiding trap engagement.
  • Third exercise is a front press, performing 6 reps to isolate the front deltoid.
  • Complete four total rounds of this triset, resting two minutes between each round.

Exercise Form and Tips

  • Rear delts: Use either a parallel or pronated grip to target different parts of the shoulder.
  • Side laterals: Avoid shrugging to prevent tension headaches and pause at the top for increased tension.
  • Front press: Use a full range of motion, pressing all the way overhead to fully engage the front deltoids.

Shoulder Stretch Routine

  • After the main workout, perform an "over and back" band stretch for two sets, each lasting two minutes.
  • In the second set, narrow hand placement to increase difficulty.
  • This stretch is recommended for overall shoulder health and flexibility.

Additional Notes

  • The workout can be done twice a week.
  • Caution is advised with heavy overhead presses to protect shoulder integrity.
  • Audience is encouraged to try the routine and provide feedback.
