Encase you didn’t know… Your shoulders are actually made up of 3 little muscle groups, the 3 different heads, each called the Posterior Deltoid, Lateral Deltoid and the Anterior Deltoid.
Shoulder injuries are very common in the lifting world, with the shoulder taking a massive beating in pretty much every upper body orientated workout! If you’re suffering from a minor or even major shoulder injury that means that you can’t press anymore, this is where the “Victory Raise” is perfect!!!
BULKING or CUTTING? We teamed up with the number one bodybuilding supplement brand on the market to help you take your results to the next level. A free custom supplement plan designed to enhance your results.
But regardless if you’re carrying an injury or not, it’s still an AWESOME exercise to completely blow up every part of your shoulders!!
How to perform:
- Loop a small resistance band around your wrists.
- Start the movement with some dumbbells (it’s all about the form, not the weight, so you need to let your ego go here guys!!) with your hands down in front of you.
- Then proceed to lift the dumbbells up over your head into the V-position, ensuring tension is keeps on the resistance band at al times.
- Really focus on applying strong tension on the resistance band, especially at the top of the rep.
- Then reverse the motion in the same way you brought your hands up
- Making sure to keep good tension on the resistance band at all times
Give it a try at the end of a workout or instead of your heavy pressing motions if you’re injured and let us know what you think!!!
