Defined shoulders & back (exercises to do)

If you want your shoulders and back to look strong and sculpted, these are some of the exercises you should be adding to your shoulders & back workouts! Make sure you're pushing close to failure:

Cable row

- Pull the elbows back to bring the cable to your lower chest

- Don’t let your shoulders shrug up

- Pause when the weight is pulled all the way in

- Slowly extend your arms to bring the weight back down

Rear delt fly

- Start by holding the cables in front of your face

- Pull the cable down and back, making sure not to bend your elbow

- Your arm + cable should both be at a 45° angle

- Stop when your arm reaches your side, pause for one second

- Slowly bring the cable forward again

Lateral raise

- Start with dumbbells down at your sides

- Lift them out to the sides, arm angled slightly in front of you

- Try to keep your elbow level with your wrist (not higher or lower)

- Stop when the weights are about shoulder level

- Hold for one second, then bring them back down

Bent over row

- Bend forward 45° by pushing your hips back

- Pull the bar up to your belly button, leading with your elbows

- Keep your elbows tucked close, not flared out to the sides

- Make sure to control the weight as you bring it back down
