How to do Dumbbell Flys

Want very big muscular shoulders? Shoulders also known as deltoids, are a very important part of your body when it comes to working out. If you do not exercise these muscles, you wont be able to keep going higher on your benching. This is because your shoulders support your arms and maximize your strength. Here is 1 of the 5 most effective shoulder workouts. If done following my steps, you will have some very strong, muscular deltoids.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. This exercise is ignored a lot because it only works out the back part of your shoulders. But what they do not know is that this exercise helps prevent a lot of rotator cuff problems. Start by getting 2 dumbbells.

2. Bend over at the waist with your feet shoulder width apart. Keep a slight bend in the knees to prevent injuring your lower back.

3. Hold the dumbbells out at arms length with the palms facing each other. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, use your rear deltoid and upper back strength to raise the dumbbells to the back in an upwards semicircular arc going as far as you can.

4. Now hold this position for a few seconds to maximize the peak contraction in the shoulders. Now go back down to starting position. Repeat. Do at least 3 sets of 10 reps for best results on your shoulder muscle.
