If you want to grow your shoulders, here’s how to create a well balanced routine to cover all muscles for strong, healthy shoulders!

The most visible muscles of the shoulders are the delts which consistent of 3 areas: the front, lateral, and posterior. Each part of the delt won’t be isolated exclusively but you can bias it more based on the exercise.

Front delts consists of pressing motions

• DB bench press
• Pushup
• Overhead press
• Front raise

Lateral delts give your shoulders a nice rounded look

• Cable lateral raise
• DB lateral raise
• Barbell rows

Posterior delts

• Reverse db fly
• Face pulls
• Barbell rows

The underlying muscles of the shoulder are the rotator cuff muscles which are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. While these aren’t aesthetic muscles, they are important for the health of your shoulder to stablize, elevate, and rotate the arm.
