Training Shoulders with IFBB Figure Pro Raechelle Chase

I train shoulders once a week & I always begin my shoulder workouts with a pressing movement, either dumbbells or a machine, starting light warm up my shoulders and avoid injuries since the shoulder joint is delicate. When training shoulders you need to hit all 3 heads of the deltoid muscle, the front, side and rear delts all of which need individual attention to get that over-all fullness & roundness that you want with. As always, make each rep count, slowly increasing your weights with each workout and going slow on the negitive.

1. Shoulder Press- I prefer to use dumbbells when doing this exercise, but cables or machines can sometimes be a good substitution or change.
2. Side lateral raises- To hit the side delts, my favorite is side lateral raises with dumbbells but this exercise can also be done using a low cable pulley. I lift as heavy as I can while maintaining good form throughout the movement.
3. Dumb-bell Front raise- You can also use a plate to vary this movement or for efficiency and a change of super set it up with lateral raises.
4. Bent lateral raises- Keep this movement slow and controlled, Remember to hold the peak contraction for a second at the top before returning to the start position.
   Another shoulder exercises I sometimes do for shoulders is close grip up right row.
