SHOULDERS

    The shoulder is made up of a three headed deltoid. It starts from the clavicle and the scapula at the rear of the shoulder and extends down to the upper arm. There are two basic ways to exercise the shoulders, straight arm raises or press. The shoulder area also includes the Trapezius muscle (Traps). The trapezius muscle ties together the neck, deltoid, and latissimus muscle. The best way to exercise the traps are by shrugs.
