Issue #2: Building Boulder Shoulders

The Ultimate Deltoid Development Guide

Let's explore the anatomy of the shoulder and the most effective exercises for developing impressive deltoids. The shoulder is composed of three heads: anterior (front), lateral (middle), and posterior (rear), each requiring specific targeting for complete development.

Optimal Training Split

Research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research shows that training shoulders twice per week leads to optimal growth. Here's your science-backed shoulder routine:

1. Heavy Compound Movements

   • Overhead Press: 4 sets of 6-8 reps

   • Push Press: 3 sets of 8-10 reps

2. Isolation Work

   • Lateral Raises: 4 sets of 12-15 reps

   • Face Pulls: 3 sets of 15-20 reps

🎯 Pro Tip: Using resistance bands can increase time under tension and stimulate more muscle growth.
