3 Massive Shoulder Blitz Routines – Workouts and exercise photos included!

Shoulders are a key area that help finish off achieving a muscular look. They make your waist look slimmer, your arms bigger and give you that tapered V-shaped, athletic look.

Below we've mapped out the most important shoulder moves, as well as 3 different types of workouts, each a little different, for you to try out. Each has their own advantages, so it'd be a good idea to switch it up occasionally.

>> Routine #1 – Chest/Shoulder Blast:
On chest day, your shoulders help out by stabilizing in most moves, resulting in indirect shoulder work. We’re going to use this to our advantage, by also training your shoulders on chest day. It’s been proven to keep your muscles under tension longer, a strategy shown to increase size. Make sure to get adequate rest before hitting your shoulder again, to avoid overtraining them.

Overhand, or Underhand Tricep Pushdowns, which is best for developing your triceps?

Have you ever wondered which is more beneficial? Is there a difference between doing overhand tricep pushdowns and underhand, or reverse-grip, tricep pushdowns? We’ll explain how to execute both below, as well as why they both have different advantages.

Run-down of both variations:
- Overhand Pushdowns: Attach an angled, short or straight bar onto the high-cable pulley you’re working at, and stand facing it. Keep a slight bend in your knees, do your best not to lock out. Grab the bar, with an overhand grip, and hold it right below your chest level, with your elbows close to your sides. Push the bar straight down, straightening your arms until they are fully extended. Pause for a brief moment fully extended to make sure you feel your triceps flex, and then slowly return back to your starting position.

Gaining muscle can be tough. Even for lifters that gain muscle fairly easily, everyone has plateaus, time-frames where you simply can’t seem to move the scale and add on more muscle.

We all fall in and out of habits occasionally, so if you can’t seem to move the scale and gain some muscle, there’s a chance you haven’t fine-tuned your routine, or have slipped out of the usual one.

These simple changes can ruin entire workouts, halting progress and draining your motivation. To get that motivation back, scan the list below of the worst muscle building mistakes, to see if you can make an improvement in your routine.

1.) You Don’t Eat Enough - Yes, extra calories can mean extra belly fat, but if you're lifting consistently and cor­rectly, most of what you're taking in should be converted to muscle. The truth is your muscles will never grow without a surplus of calories. For a lean guy looking to put on muscle mass, 2,000 calories a day won't cut it.

Bicep Arm Workout to Add Muscle Mass.

This bicep workout provides all the information in order to pack some serious size onto your arms in no time!

Every serious bodybuilder knows that the size of their arms will either make or break them. If your arms aren't busting the threads on your sleeves, then it means you need to turn up the size factor!

Let's face it, having a huge set of arms is great for many reasons. For one, it's going to help you add more weight to lifts like your bench press. But it's also going to get you the attention of every girl in your gym, and none of them can resist a perfectly sculpted set of guns! And if that's not enough motivation for you, then you may as well put the weights down and pick up a burger.
