It's the shoulders that really round out a good body and fill out a shirt - But how do you get that\u00a0Schwarzenegger-like chiseled look?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is simple: work out your shoulders in the <em>right<\/em> way.<\/p>\n<h2>Shoulder Strength - Three Muscles<\/h2>\n<p>The shoulders are made up of\u00a0<em>three\u00a0different muscles<\/em>, and if you are just hitting the gym and doing one shoulder exercise, you will never get the mass or tone you are looking for.\u00a0To increase shoulder power you'll need to target\u00a0<em>all<\/em> of the muscles in the shoulder, not just one or two.<\/p>\n<p>Let us break it down for you:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7724\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7724 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1.png\" alt=\"increase-shoulder-power\" width=\"350\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1.png 350w, https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/1-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you're on a quest to target shoulder strength, here's three exercises that will help you do it fast.<\/p>\n<h3>Anterior Deltoid<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7725\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7725 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2.png\" alt=\"increase-shoulder-power\" width=\"350\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2.png 350w, https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The anterior deltoid is the front part of the shoulder muscle. The most common (and perhaps most effective) exercise is the dumbbell front raise, pictured above. Chances are, you are already doing this one \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Medial Deltoid<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/3.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7722\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7722 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/3.png\" alt=\"increase-shoulder-power\" width=\"350\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/3.png 350w, https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/3-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The medial deltoid includes the \"stabilizer\" muscle, which helps all around shoulder movement and strength, in addition to helping really fill out your shoulders. Lateral Dumbbell raises are a great way to bulk and strengthen this part of the shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Posterior Deltoid<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/4.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7723\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7723 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/4.png\" alt=\"increase-shoulder-power\" width=\"350\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/4.png 350w, https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/4-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the most overlooked of the shoulder muscles. The posterior deltoid is the muscle in the back of the shoulder. Focusing on the front and side portions of your shoulders and ignoring the posterior will severely limit\u00a0the\u00a0size and strength potential of your shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>It will also lead to underdeveloped rear deltoids which can 1) look bad, and 2) be unsafe in more \"practical\" usage. Pictured above is a great exercise for working the posterior: rear deltoid dumbbell rows. While simple, they will give you immediate gains in both appearance, and power.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Sustained Shoulder Strength<\/h2>\n<p>It's important that you use these muscles practically as well and (if we do say so ourselves) tennis is a phenomenal way to do that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/andy-murray-shirtless-muscle-hunk-gay-twink-boy-playing-tennis-ball-hat-naked-shoulders-cap.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7733\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7733\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/andy-murray-shirtless-muscle-hunk-gay-twink-boy-playing-tennis-ball-hat-naked-shoulders-cap.jpg\" alt=\"andy-murray-shirtless-muscle-hunk-gay-twink-boy-playing-tennis-ball-hat-naked-shoulders-cap\" width=\"462\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/andy-murray-shirtless-muscle-hunk-gay-twink-boy-playing-tennis-ball-hat-naked-shoulders-cap.jpg 462w, https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/andy-murray-shirtless-muscle-hunk-gay-twink-boy-playing-tennis-ball-hat-naked-shoulders-cap-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not only will tennis work the flexibility of your shoulders, but it will also help keep them looking defined, even when at rest.<\/p>\n<p>PlayYourCourt offers lessons with the best pros, on the court of your choice, at a convenient time that works with your busy schedule.
