Shoulders & Deltoids 15 Mar 2007 07:30 am
March 15, 2007 (Posting #4) - Deltoids exercise: Front Shoulder Raises
Time to hit the shoulders aka the deltoids, and let’s focus on the front of the deltoids. You’ll need some form of a weight for this exercise. I use two 1 gallon (3.8L) jugs of water. The density of water is 1kg/L so I have 3.8kg/8.4lb weights in each hand; as Ronnie Coleman would say: LIGHT WEIGHT! Start with your arms at your side with your weights in your hands. Keep the elbows slightly bent for the duration of the exercise. Slowly lift your arms forward until they are parallel to the ground. You don’t want to swing your arms because the momentum of your weights will minimize the actual work done by your muscles. Ok, HIT IT!
