Boulder shoulders starts with one key movement- the overhead press, and then a couple of MAJOR accessory lifts. The upright row is THE assistance lift to hit the front and lateral delts, the traps, and the biceps. Especially when done in a widegrip as shown, it crushes these muscles. As you can see, I only go to 90 degrees with this one due to the wide grip. Any higher and my shoulder starts to impinge. The beauty of this exercise is you can load it up with weight as long as you keep it under control. Here I am using the #flexsolate straps to maximize the width of my grip. Work these in for sets of 8-15. Dont mistake my advice for going heavy for loading this exercise with enough weight you could only do 3-6 reps. You are afterall, working the shoulder and that in itself is a very unstable joint so overloading it in a position of flexion and abduction and slight internal rotation isnt conducive to rotator cuff health if done with too much weight that you could only do 3-6 reps with it. #bouldershoulders #npc #mensphysique #health #fitness #bodybuilding #exercise #shoulders #weightlifting
