Want to look good in clothes, and with out clothes, some might be tempted to get shoulder pads. Too embarrassing if you had to take your clothes off, you need to know how to build shoulder muscle.

The shoulder muscles consist of 3 headed muscle group, the anterior (the front muscle) the medial region ( the middle) and the posterior region (the rear). These muscles allow the movement of lifting and rotating the arms. Two different movements will stimulate these heads, the over head press and raise.

To build shoulder muscle, the most effective way is the over head press which can be achieved with both barbells and dumbbells, but in my opinion the dumbbells are the best.

One arm will not be albe to cheat the other with dumbbells as they allow a more natural motion range. Sit on a bench, preferably with a vertical support for your back. Press the dumbbells over your head, do not lock out the elbows, return them to shoulder level.

Next, the basic side lateral raise, also preformed with dumbbells. Side laterals will shift the majority of the stress to the medial head of the shoulder. This will build greater shoulder width and helps contribute to the wide upper body look.

Stand with knees bent slightly, hold the dumbbells with palms facing inward. With a slight bend in the arms, raise the dumbbells up to shoulder level and back down to starting position.

For maximum size and strength, the basic over head press and side lateral raise is all you really need. The shoulders are stimulated with every single upper body exercise you perform. Working too hard on the shoulders will actually hinder their results. I do not recommend that you perform isolation exercise for the anterior and posterior heads.

The key for how to build shoulder muscle is Quality not quantity.

Here is a sample routines to build shoulder muscles.

Sitting Overhead Dumbbell Press- 2 Sets of 6 Reps. Stand, Dumbbell Side Laterals- 2 Sets of 10 Reps Sit.

.
