Here is a solid and efficient push/shoulder day for you. Let’s run it! A little bit of chest as well!

As always, remember that Workout is only as hard as you make it. If you get through all of the sets, and you’re not fatigued and your muscles are not exhausted, you probably did not push yourself deep enough into each set, and you may have chose a weight that was too light.

Make sure to read the descriptions of each exercise as there are more detailed instructions on how to go about doing the sets, drop sets, negatives, etc.

- Start with your hands just outside the shoulders - Bend at the elbows to come down
- Keep your core tight as you lower
- Extend your arms engaging your chest as you push up

Push-ups

- Grab a plate in each hand
- Pinkies up
- This is right in between a lateral raise and a front deltoid raise (45 degrees)
- lean forward slightly 
- have arms as LONG as possible and reach as far out as you can. Do not have your traps shrugged up or back at all. That will activate your traps and rhomboids to much.
- we are wanting to activate your lateral and front delts 
- Alwyas do pulsing reps after failure or cheat reps after failure
- This should give you a crazy pump if done right 
- I use 10 lb plates for first 2 sets and 25 lb plates for last set.

45 degree lateral plate raises

- Keep a slight bend at the elbow
- Raise your arms until you reach shoulder height 
- Lower with a slow and controlled movement

- 2 partial reps after perfect form failure on every set

Standing Dumbbell lateral raises plus partials

- With back supported hold two dumbbells at your shoulders 
- Press the dumbbells up to full arm extension
- Lower them to the starting position
- Drive elbows together and bring DBs together to lightly tap at the top

Dumbbell seated shoulder press

- From incline holding a dumbbell in each hand
- Press the dumbbells over your chest and bring them together to slightly tap at the top
- This gives greater contraction of pecs when elbows come in closer together 
- Slowly lower them back to down to starting position

Incline dumbbell press

- With your back supported, hold the handles with your elbows bent to 90 degrees
- Press your arms up to full arm extension
- Lower with control to the starting position

Plate loaded machine shoulder press

- Hold the bar with a close grip and wrists bent down 
- Pull up with your elbows until your elbows reach shoulder height
- Try not to shrug too much with traps 
- Keep shoulders/delts forward and not backwards 
- It should feel like you are using your delts to do lateral raises/front raises 
- Focus on driving sides of your elbows up high 
- PULL WITH YOUR ELBOWS, NOT YOUR HANDS. You want your shoulders to be doing the work, not your arms. That is why we keep that lose bend in wrists

EZ bar upright row

- Bend at the elbows to lower down, keeping your feet forward of your body
- Keep your elbows close to your body and your torso tipped forward 
- Extend your arms engaging your chest to push up
