Building Bigger Shoulders - A Warning

Knowing how to build shoulders muscles properly is a skill everyone who does weight lifting should know. I say properly because i have witnessed two people suffer serious injuries to their shoulders from poor form and a bunch of other hurt themselves needlessly as well.

The shoulder is a complex and often delicate joint you see with a huge amount of tendons and muscles intersecting to move your arms in a variety of different motions. However with all things that are complex there comes danger if things go wrong.

If you pull your arms or shoulder in the wrong direction or with too much force or at the wrong angle you can really hurt yourself. Some problems include:

• Frozen shoulders
• Torn rotator cuffs
• Sore shoulder muscles
• Inflamed tendons
• and more!

What this means is that you should adhere to good from during all your exercises and make sure you are prepared to lift weights by stretching and making sure you are fit enough to start with.

This guide is an excellent start.

As long as you are careful though there are a few good exercises you can do with just a set of dumbbells.

This video from Vince Delmonte explains how.
