Should shoulder training be large or small?

  Getting a strong three-dimensional shoulder is the goal of every fitness man! However, many people will have a question during training. What kind of training method should be chosen to target shoulder muscles? Should we use a light weight or a light weight that is more frequent?

  Application of light weight shoulder training!

  From the type of muscle fibers, the deltoid muscle is mainly composed of slow muscle fibers. This means that you need some light weight and high frequency training

  There are two benefits to doing this

  1. By reducing the external load applied to the shoulder joint, Reduces joint pressure accumulated over time.

  2. At the same time, high-repetition training is easier to accumulate metabolic pressure, which makes your muscles congested and get a pump feeling!

  Deltoid muscle growth requires metabolic pressure, and metabolic pressure is a very important factor in muscle hypertrophy

  The main source of metabolic pressure is "the product produced by muscle cells performing anaerobic glycolysis during exercise", including lactic acid, hydrogen ions, inorganic phosphoric acid, creatine, as well as free radicals, nitric oxide, etc. These metabolic wastes will tell muscle cells through a series of molecular paths that you should grow up to adapt to these metabolic pressures.   In shoulder training! Especially in some single-joint movements, such as side-length lifting, front-length lifting, leaning over birds! The advice I usually give you is:

  More times, more groups, less rest

  1. Increase the number of times more than 20 reps will really make your muscles pump blood.

  2. Do more groups. Try 4 to 5 groups instead of traditional 3 groups.

  3. Reduce the rest time between groups to 20-40 seconds.

   Concentrate on flexing and maintaining muscle tension during the movement! This will make the muscles feel and isolated stimulation more obvious! You will feel your Shoulders are burning.

Application of heavy weight shoulder training

For some multi-joint movements, such as military recommendations, it is recommended to use a lower number of times (3-6 times) for training. The main purpose is to enhance your shoulder strength, vertical push chains and nervous system. Especially for some fitness enthusiasts who aim to improve strength, high-quality recommendations can make your shoulders stronger

 However, such training may not be so effective for muscle growth. On the contrary, choosing bodybuilding (medium and high-frequency) recommendation training will make your muscle size grow more optimistic!
