Shoulders · Intermediate
Barbell Push Press
A compound exercise that primarily targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest. It involves using the legs to help drive the barbell overhead, allowing for heavier loads compared to a strict press. This exercise enhances power, strength, and coordination.
Chest · Intermediate
Low Cable Incline Bench Press
A bilateral chest press on an inclined bench using separate handles from low pulleys. It combines shoulder pressing and elbow extension, with the bench supporting the trunk and the cables resisting the upward, inward hand path.
Triceps · Advanced
Korean Dip
A bodyweight dip with both hands supporting the body on a single straight bar behind the hips. The suspended-body movement combines elbow extension with shoulder control in a behind-body support position, loading the triceps, front shoulders and chest.
Shoulders · Beginner
Dumbbell Seated Lateral Raise
A seated shoulder-isolation exercise that targets the lateral deltoids. The seated position limits lower-body momentum and keeps the focus on the middle shoulder.
Shoulders · Beginner
One-Arm Cable Lateral Raise
The Single Arm Cable Side Lateral Raise is an isolation exercise targeting the lateral deltoid muscles. It involves lifting a cable handle to the side of the body, focusing on shoulder abduction. This exercise helps in building shoulder width and improving shoulder stability.
Shoulders · Beginner
Cable Front Raise
An isolation shoulder exercise that uses a cable handle to target the anterior deltoids. Cable resistance provides consistent loading through the front-raising pattern.
Shoulders · Beginner
Dumbbell Front Raise
An isolation shoulder exercise that targets the anterior deltoids with dumbbells. The independent dumbbells allow each shoulder to work through the front-raising pattern separately.
Shoulders · Beginner
Arm Circles
An unloaded standing warm-up exercise for active shoulder mobility. Both extended arms move together through full circles in one direction, accompanied by natural movement of the shoulder blades.
Shoulders · Beginner
Plate Front Raise Drive
Front Plate Raises With Rotation is a compound exercise that targets the shoulders, specifically the anterior deltoids, while also engaging the core for stability.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Band Shoulder Press
An upper body exercise that targets the deltoid muscles, particularly the anterior and lateral heads, as well as the triceps. It involves pressing resistance bands overhead, providing a dynamic and variable resistance that enhances shoulder stability and strength.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Dumbbell Push Press
A compound overhead-press variation that uses leg drive to assist two dumbbells overhead. It develops shoulders, triceps, upper chest, power, and whole-body coordination.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Barbell Behind Neck Shoulder Press
A compound exercise targeting the deltoid muscles, particularly the anterior and medial heads, as well as engaging the triceps and upper back. This exercise requires a barbell and is performed while standing or seated, focusing on controlled movement and proper form to avoid injury.
