When looking to build wider, stronger, shoulders look no further than compound pressing movements. Strong shoulders are definitely possible, even for hard gainers, with the following three exercises. Any pressing type of movement will also target the upper back, trapezius, pectorals and triceps. Let’s take a look at a few great exercises, using different equipment, to add to your next strength program.
Barbell Push Press
Overall, you can’t beat this beneficial, compound movement. Work the hips as well as the upper body and arms with this useful exercise. Once the exercise has been mastered, you can add ankle plantar flexion into the mix, making it more sports specific.
Barbell Rear Military Press
When you start getting fatigued with this exercise, bring the quads and hips into play with a hip thrust to initiate the pressing movement. In order to push out a few extra repetitions.
Kettlebell Alternating Shoulder Press
A great uni-lateral exercise to add to any shoulder strength training program. Individual shoulder work using a kettlebell or dumbbell is always a good addition to any program.
