Our shoulders are made up of three different muscles: the front delts (anterior deltoids), middle delts (lateral deltoids), and rear delts (posterior deltoids):
➖➖➖➖➖
However, unlike most other muscle groups, the three heads of our shoulders all have different functions. It’s not possible to train them all with a single lift. Our front delts push stuff away, our side delts lift stuff out to the sides, and our rear delts pull stuff in. This means that building broader shoulders requires doing more than just the bench press and overhead press.
➖➖➖➖➖
Most of our shoulder size will come from our front delts, and most of our shoulder width will come from our side delts. These muscles can be trained by pressing horizontally (e.g. push-ups, the bench press) and vertically (e.g. the overhead press). As we mentioned above, these are powerful, beefy muscles with a ton of growth potential, as you can see above. They grow the quickest when combining heavy compound movements (such as the overhead press) with smaller isolation lifts (such as the lateral raise).
➖➖➖➖➖
Our rear deltoids are smaller and have less growth potential, but it’s still important to train them. Not only will they make our shoulders much rounder, but once we get them strong enough, they can also help to hold our shoulders in the right place, improving our posture and range of motion. The rear delts work hard during bigger compound movements, such as rows and chin-ups. Then they can be targeted with the lighter assistance lifts, like face-pulls and rear-delt flyes.
