Bulk up those shoulders

This week, we are going to work on our shoulders. The shoulders are one of the most important muscle groups, protecting you from injury during contact sports such as basketball and rugby. Proper training will help you build chest and back muscles.

In addition, well-developed shoulders make you look bigger than you really are. Look at NBA player LeBron James; his massive shoulders have helped him become one of the strongest players in the game.
