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:

^^^** 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.
