The shoulder musculature
The shoulder joint is one of the most flexible joints in the human body and is mainly stabilized by muscles. The deltoid muscle is one of the larger muscles and is contracted in all dimensions during arm movements. It is therefore divided into a front, lateral and rear part.
During most upper extremity training exercises, the shoulder muscles are trained at the same time. Injuries to the shoulder often occur during many rebound sports (tennis etc.). In the lowest point of bench press, the shoulder joint is also subjected to high loads. Athletes with complaints in the shoulder area should therefore avoid training with high weights.
Definition Muscle building
This form of strength training is about targeted muscle building with various objectives. It can be for purely aesthetic reasons, but at the same time therapeutic effects can be used, which can be achieved by improving the muscles. Through muscle building, chronic complaints can be completely eliminated.
During a muscle build-up training, specific stimuli must be applied to the musculature. You can find more detailed information on this topic under Muscle Build-up. Since the shoulder muscles are subject to secondary stress during numerous exercises, isolated shoulder muscle training in the area of health and fitness is not necessarily a given.
Most male studio visitors hope to build up the front part of the deltoid muscle. Targeted exercises that primarily train the shoulder muscles are neck pressing and lateral lifting. Exercising the shoulder muscles not only prevents tension in this area, but also prevents shoulder neck pain.
Exercises
Neck Pressing is a training exercise for the targeted loading of the front shoulder muscles. When performing the movement, however, care must be taken to ensure that the load on the shoulder is particularly high at the lowest point of the movement. For more detailed information on this exercise, please visit our topic Neck PressingStep by step, the athlete stands with a slight upper body extension.
The upper arms are close to the upper body in the starting position. Forearms and upper arms form a right angle during the entire movement. The upper arms are raised until they are parallel to the floor. For more detailed information on this exercise, please visit our topic Side Lifting
