Exercise Diagrams - Shoulders
I (Gym Professor) will try to avoid my usual trick of waffling too much, but you really should understand the action of each muscle and it's relationship with others. This is important to perform the exercise correctly and help avoid possible injury. You should review the kinesiology (human movement) section. Also, you may find the sample gym routines of benefit.
Below are a list of various shoulder exercises. The exercise pages will provide basic instruction and detail muscles exercised, what the exercise is for & who the exercise is for. Over time, I'll also include Youtube video's for the more commonly performed gym exercises, to better demonstrate the weight training exercise being performed.
