SHOULDER THEORY

While training shoulder Three "DELTOIDS" are trained & with that we have to focus on strengthening "ROTATOR CUFF"                    










Deltoids are trained as follows: 






                               
1. ANTERIOR DELTOID.      
                                     
For training anterior deltoid following are the exercises.  
                                                             
*Front Raise   
                                                
 Its an Isolation exercise, 
helps in shoulder flexion.    




                                                                         








*OVER HEAD PRESS (Dumbbell or Barbell)   

     
Its an Compound exercise,
 helps in Shoulder Over head abduction.    



                                          





2. MIDDLE DELTOID.                                               
For training middle deltoid following are the exercise.                                                                 

 *SIDE RAYS (Dumbbell or Cable).                         
Its an isolation exercise, helps in Shoulder-Abduction. 



      
  









                                                      
*UPRIGHT ROW (Barbell or Cable).                 
Its an compound exercise,
 helps Shoulder-Abduction.       

















                                                       
3. POSTERIOR DELTOID                                           

For training posterior deltoid following are the exercises. 

  
                                                  
* REAR DELT FLY or BENT OVER ACTION RAYS.    

                                                              
 Its an isolation exercise, 
helps in Shoulder-Horizontal Abduction.        



                                    






Above written are the complete exercise for training all three deltoids of shoulder. 
Often people focus on training Middle & Anterior Deltoid only, which causes deformity of the shoulder. Always complete the shoulder by training all three Deltoids including Posterior.                                              

 (Note: Finish One deltoid exercises & then  start with second deltoid which gives the maximum result).    








                                           
^^^** ROTATOR CUFF.     



                                 


 In all the above exercises of shoulder "Rotator Cuff" acts as a stabiliser & perform all the rotation with ease, 
so its mandatory to train Rotator Cuff as well.                                  

The muscles in the rotator cuff include:

• Teres minor
• Infraspinatus
• Supraspinatus
• Subscapularis.                                                                                                                                   
• 
  
• Three muscles "Supraspiantus", "Infraspinatus" & "Teres Minor" helps in shoulder External Rotation.                             For training these 3 Muscles exercise to be performed is " PASSIVE EXTERNAL ROTATION".   

• The fourth one "Subscapularis" helps in Shoulder Internal Rotation. Exercise to perform this muscle is "PASSIVE INTERNAL ROTATION"                 
•    
• 
  
•  Things To Remember: Shoulder is the most mobile joint of the body & most unstable too.
