Before choosing the best exercises for the deltoid muscles, you should learn their structure. These muscles consist of three parts, and in order to achieve good results, you need to pay attention to each of them to ensure their harmonious development. And in this case, there is a whole set of exercises aimed at parallel and sequential working out of all ligaments of deltoid muscles.
Best Exercises for Deltoid Muscles
In order to have strong deltoids, you have to regularly train them, which is why we suggest you take a look at these exercises for deltoid muscles.
Sideways dumbbellsIf you are interested in building the back delta of the shoulder, then this workout is what you need. This exercise extensively involves not only the deltoid but also the trapezius muscles. Take the dumbbells with a neutral grip and lean forward slightly, keeping your back straight, and the dumbbells should now be raised to the ear level. To do this, you need to bend your elbows and take the starting position by slowly lowering your arms.
Front liftThrough this exercise, you can achieve excellent upper muscles and the muscles of the trapezium. Take the dumbbells while being in a sitting position. Lower your hands. Now you should lift the dumbbell to the point parallel with the floor. At the same time, the arm remains straight. When you reach shoulder level, stop. Lower the dumbbell in the same way. Do the same with the other hand.
Lifting sidewaysExperts recommend carrying out these exercises for effective pumping of the lateral deltoid muscles. The effectiveness of the exercise depends on the correctness of the exercise, therefore strictly follow these instructions: Stand up straight with dumbbells in your hands. Now slowly lift the dumbbells. Once the dumbbells are at your shoulder level, you should stay in this position. After that, slowly lower our arms, thereby returning to the starting position.
Barbells pressTake the shell on your chest, bring your elbows forward, tighten your abs, buttocks, and legs. Lift the bar up, lower it back and repeat. When the bar passes your face, do not lift it upper, but put it to yourself: this way the bar will go along the optimal trajectory. If at the top point the projectile remains in front of the body, and not above it, the load on the lower back increases. Therefore, try to take the barbell behind your head. Do three to five sets of six to eight reps.
Handstand push-upsThis exercise movement itself repeats the barbell press up in a reduced range. Stand in a handstand with your feet on the wall. Bend your elbows, lower yourself and touch the floor with your head. Put yourself back and repeat. Place your head on the floor more carefully (careless movements can damage your neck). To make the exercise easier, place something under your head, such as a rolled blanket or several thick books. To complicate things, place firm support under your arms. Perform as many times per set as you can. Do 3-5 approaches, depending on how you feel.
Wrapping Up
Developed deltoid muscles will make you look athletic and simply stunning, so if you dream of a beautiful body, make sure to do some of these exercises.

Push-ups, exercises with dumbbells, planks, and handstands - all these exercises require strong and flexible wrists and today we will tell you how to develop wrist strength and do exercises without pain and discomfort.
Gymnastics, climbing, crossfit, various martial arts - all these sports require strong wrists. In fact, wrist strength should be developed along with flexibility. This will help you cope with exercises that not only require good grip but also joint mobility. In addition to that, these muscles will allow you to train without pain or injury if you are learning to do a handstand or other challenging elements.
Exercises for the wrists are also useful for people who are not fond of sports. Warming up and stretching these muscles can help avoid tunnel syndrome, which is a compression of the median nerve between the bones and tendons. Warming up will help relieve muscle tension.
Exercises for Wrist Muscles
As you can see, working on your wrists is extremely important for both your health and the ability to do other exercises, which is why you have to know how to correctly develop these muscles. So let’s take a look at some wrist strengthening exercises.
Raising from Wrists to Fists
Sit on the floor with your legs bent under you. Place your hands on the floor on the back of your hand, fingers facing each other. With the strength of your wrists, try to move your hands and make fists. If this works out easily and without pain, transfer your weight to your hands and try again. Reduce the load if pain occurs. Repeat 15 times.
Dumbbell Rows
Place your forearms on a platform. Turn your wrists so that your palms are facing the ceiling. Take the dumbbell with your fingers and start lifting it with the power of your wrist. Start with small weights and gradually increase the load. Perform three sets of 8-10 reps.
Reverse Grip Body Bar Lift
You will need a body bar for this exercise. Unlike the barbell, it is lighter so you can practice without overexertion and pain. Grasp the body bar with a reverse grip, bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Open and tilt your palms slightly so that the body bar rolls onto your bent fingers. At the extreme point, the angle at the wrist should be 90 degrees. With the power of your wrist, lift the body bar back up. Perform four sets of 8-10 times.
Holding Dumbbells
Grasp the top of the dumbbells with your fingers. Hold as much as you can - 30 seconds or longer.
Hand Rotation with Dumbbells
Take dumbbells in both hands, bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle. In the starting position, the back of your hands should look up. Flip your hands over so that your fingers are on top, and then return to the starting position. Turning back and forth counts in one go. Perform four sets of 8-10 times.
Wrist Stretching
Sit on your knees, place your palms in front of you, fingers towards you. Pull your torso back, increasing the angle at the wrist. Hold at the extreme point for 3-5 seconds, come back and repeat. Do it 5-10 times.
Wrapping Up
Wrists might seem like insignificant parts of the body, however, you need to develop these muscles to be able to do many exercises. So if you want to improve your wrist muscles, make sure to do these simple workouts and you’ll quickly see the results.

A lot of people want to know how to build shoulders at home without dumbbells and other sports equipment at hand. Everything is very simple. Building the muscles of the shoulders, and especially the deltas are easily done with pull-ups and push-ups, which will help to get the shape of your dream.
Workouts for Building Shoulders
Push-upsFor the most part, this exercise will work with the pectoral muscles, but the shoulders will also be involved. A narrow position of the hands will involve the triceps and the middle delta in the work, and if you put your arms wider, then in addition to the middle part, you can also use the front delt muscles. In order to maximize the use of the muscles of the shoulders in the exercise, try to do push-ups a little higher, so that only the deltas work.
One-hand push-upsThis exercise is good for toning the shoulder girdle. It is important to take into account one point: the wider the legs are, the easier it is to perform the exercise, but the less the pressure on the muscles. So choose the best position for yourself.
Dumbbell ShrugsThis exercise is perfect for the shoulders muscles as well as the trapezius muscle. And your posture after doing this exercise regularly will be improved! Stand up keeping your body straight. Hands with dumbbells are lowered. Lift dumbbells, not with your hands, try to include only the shoulders muscles during it, lifting your shoulders as high as possible.
Sideways dumbbellsAlthough the exercise is basic, it is more suitable for athletes with a more advanced level. Doing dumbbells or swinging them is supposed to improve the work of the shoulders. So first of all, you need to stand up slightly leaning forward. In the initial position, the dumbbells are at the bottom. Let’s take a breath and spread them apart, trying to raise them as much as possible. When you get them at shoulder level, pause and gently lower your arms.
Barbell pressIt’s the most effective exercise for building up your shoulders. It is also called a standing barbell press. It is easy to do, firstly you need to put your feet shoulder-width apart, take the barbell with a straight grip and raise it to the chest. After that, you need to exhale and raise the barbell up. After that, you need to stay in this position for a second and slowly lower the barbell to the starting position, while inhaling deeply.
Wrapping Up
In order to quickly build perfect shoulders, you need a nice set of exercises, with which you will achieve maximum results. You can't just exhaust them with working hours in a gym. Follow the advice we gave you and you will get great results as soon as possible.

Many people believe that biceps is extremely difficult to train. Moreover, they say that this muscle simply does not grow and those people who do manage to develop biceps are simply genetically gifted. Talking about genetics, it’s true, some people really can grow muscles faster. But the thought that the biceps is hard to train is a myth. So let's talk about biceps and figure out how to train them correctly together.
What Is Biceps?
From the point of view of biomechanics, when we bend our arms, the biceps muscle of the shoulder completely tenses. That means that there is no specific movement to tighten the inner or outer part of the biceps. And there are no special exercises to create gorgeous biceps like the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger had.
As a matter of fact, the shape of your arm is a genetically determined factor, which is why you either have a relief biceps or don’t. So all you can do is just put up with it. In any case, well-developed arms look great regardless of their genetically determined shape. The most important thing here is that it is not difficult to develop them if you do it wisely, both from the point of view of physiology and the training process.
How to Grow Muscles?
Before moving on to the exercises, let's take a look at the main factors of muscle growth. This is necessary for a clear understanding of the appropriateness of the exercises, which we will consider below.
To put it simply, muscle development requires building materials (amino acids), energy (glucose), hormones (that your body synthesizes as a response to training stress), as well as muscle tension, which initiates growth. Moreover, sufficient muscle tension is perhaps the most important factor, without which there will be no progress. Accordingly, for the effective development of muscles, including the biceps, it is necessary to create conditions of tangible muscle tension without unnecessary stress on the ligaments and tendons. This is achieved by proper exercise techniques and an understanding of biomechanics.
In the case of the biceps muscle of the shoulder, the width of the barbell grip does not matter simply because any flexion of the arm makes your biceps tense. Thus, your grip should be comfortable to maximize muscle tension with minimal stress on your hands and elbows. This is much more effective than trying to train the outer and inner biceps heads separately by varying the width of the grip. Once you feel no or little muscle tension while doing exercises with a barbell, you can increase the weight but you must be extremely careful with that not to overload your joints and ligaments.
Exercises for Developing Gorgeous Biceps
Finally, let’s take a look at some biceps workouts, so here they come:
Barbell Curl
Cable Curl
Chin-Up
Reverse-Grip Bent-Over Row
EZ-Bar Preacher Curl
Cable Hammer Curl
Hammer Curl
Concentration Curl
Incline Dumbbell Curl
Wrapping Up
Well-developed biceps make your arms look simply stunning and, luckily, you can easily achieve this goal by doing certain exercises. Therefore, if you dream of gorgeous biceps, start training now.

Everyone wants to have beautiful hips. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to keep it in a nice shape. We have some exercises that will definitely help you work your hips out.
Best Workouts for Hips
Beautiful hips require some effort, so let’s take a look at some exercises for hips.
CrossingsThis deep inner thigh stretch will improve your hips and give you a boost of energy. Spread your legs wide with your feet facing outward. Bend your knees and lower yourself into a squat. Put your hands on your hips just above the knees, deepening the squat and stretching even more. Jump up and place your right foot in front of your left one, while landing, you should straighten and cross your legs. Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise with the other leg. Repeat the exercise, alternating legs, as many times as you can, for at least 40 seconds.
Knee squatsSquats with knees together are much better than regular squats for strengthening the inner thighs, quads, and hamstring. And in order not to waste your time, you can work on your hands at the same time. Stand up straight with your feet together. Take dumbbells, bend your elbows and touch the shoulders with the dumbbells. Do a squat with your knees bent and your hips back as if you were about to sit in a chair. Keep your legs together during the entire exercise. The weight should be on your heels. Now stretch your arms up. Return to the starting position without putting your weight on your toes. Do 10 reps.
Elbow plank with raising legsAdd leg raises to your regular elbow plank to improve the hips. Lie on your side, bend your right arm at the elbow and lean on it. Extend your legs so that your body becomes one straight line. Try to rest only on the outer edge of your right foot. Place your left hand on your thigh. Feel your spine stretch and your abs tighten, then lift your left leg just above your hip. Slowly lower it back down. Do not bend at the waist or lean on your shoulder, keep your weight on your elbow. Do about 15 reps for both sides.
Swings with bent legsThis is one of the most popular exercises for strengthening the buttocks and hips. It is suitable for everyone, does not require additional equipment, and does not involve the spine. With the help of swings, the back, front, outer and inner thighs are worked out - combo. Start in plank, palms - under the shoulders, knees - under the pelvis, keep the position of the back. On the exhale, we swing our leg, pushing the heel up; we perform 20 repetitions on each leg and four sets total.
Side lungesIf you are doing this exercise for the first time, you will not need dumbbells - first master the movements of the legs. Take a dumbbell in your right hand, lunge to the left, lowering your right hand to your right leg. Lower your hips as low as possible, resting on your heels. The toes are facing forward, the angle of the bent leg is 90 degrees. Pushing off with your left foot, go into a courtesy pose: the left leg goes back, and the right one goes forward. Raise your arm with the weight up. Both legs face forward. Keep your hips and legs taut. Repeat without returning to the starting position, but immediately moving from a squat to a side lunge. Do three sets of 10 reps, then switch sides.
Final Word
Beautiful hips are a reality if you know what to do, so why don’t you give these exercises a try and see everything yourself?
