It's important to maintain and develop your shoulder and neck muscles to advance joint stabillity when lifting weights. Your shoulders are the weakest joints in your body and are prone to acute injuries and in worst case scenario, dislocation. This workout will develop strength and stabillity, allowing you to increase your weights progressively, reducing the chance of injury. Ofcourse this weight training routine will also get you on your way to developing the canonball shoulders you crave!

How to Increase Shoulder Size and Strength

• Always ensure you warm up before you start a workout. Mobilise the joints that you will be using to safeguard your body against injuries.
• Use a targeted diet plan specific to your training goal.
• Use this workout twice a week for best results, ensuring 48 hours rest for repair between shoulder workouts.
• Cool down by performing static stretches, mainly focusing on your shoulders and neck.
• MFR roller techniques will help improve and maintain flexibillity around the joints.
