The Broad Shoulders Exercises

Most guys probably feel insecure because of their slight shoulders, as they should. To broaden them and create the appearance that you are masculine and capable of crushing things you will need to start doing some exercises.

Most shoulder exercises are going to be done with weights, but there are a few that can be done via body weight resistance. Body weight training is the safest and most holistically beneficial way to exercise the muscles.

To start working the deltoids (shoulders) without using weights there is only one exercise you need: the hand stand. This seems childish and simple, because frankly it is.

However, the longer you can hold this workout the more the shoulders are going to be worked and consequently broadened. Nobody wants to look like a limp noodle, unfortunately many guys do.

When first practicing the hand stand you will probably have a hard time balancing, this is only because the muscles in your upper body are weak and not capable of supporting your weight. After a few tries though you will be able to hold yourself a little longer.

The great thing about body weight exercising is that it affects every muscle in the body. Weight training is a great way to perform isometric exercises or even compound exercises, but body weight resistance works the body to the core, literally.

When working with body weight the muscles in the core must tense up to provide stability, thus causing thin waists and tight abdomens. Working out requires muscle shock and confusion, so this means you are going to have to start practicing a wide variety of hands stands.

There of course is the traditional straight legs pointed handstand, but then there is also the legs lowered, the reverse L, the inverse split, the converse C and so many more. All of these are going to move the tension around in your shoulders, creating avid muscular development.

All you have to do is be creative and try to confuse the muscle in your body, which isn't too hard because you should be a lot smarter than your muscles. Along with confusion it is important to keep yourself motivated and also eating healthy.

If you are eating right it will act as a reminder to keep you working out regularly. Start doing handstands morning and nightly along with stretches.

Getting a healthy amount of sleep is going to promote muscular development more than anything else. And morning and night are the two best times to do handstands so start exercising right today.
