5 Best Shoulder Workouts

Pushups

 Pushups work your shoulders, chest, back, and abs at once. Perform them with your fingers pointing out at a 45° angle, make sure that you keep your back straight as a board, and go all the way down.do atleast 3 sets of 24+ pushups each

Military press

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees relaxed, and grasp a barbell with your palms facing in, hands shoulder-width apart. Bend your arms so that your palms are facing away from you and your hands are at shoulder height. Press the barbell over your head and lower it. It is one of the best workout for shoulder.

Front-side lateral raise

Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart — with your arms straight down the front of your body, palms facing in, and holding a dumbbell in each hand — raise your arms to shoulder height in front of you, so that your arms and chest form a 90° angle. Keeping your arms raised and your palms facing down, open your arms so that they form a "T" with your torso, then slowly lower them to your sides. Retrace your steps by doing a lateral raise, bringing your arms back in front of you and slowly lowering them so that you are back in your starting position, with your arms straight down the front of your body, palms facing in. This workout make your shoulders big and wide. Do 3 sets of 8-10-12

Lateral raise

Pick up a couple of dumbbells and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms down by your sides and palms facing in. Making sure not to lock your elbows, raise your arms no higher than your shoulders. Make sure that the movement originates in your shoulders and that your torso remains strong and still.

Arnold press

Sitting on a flat bench with your back straight and your feet on the floor, hold a dumbbell in each hand, keeping your arms bent and your palms turned toward your face. Rotate your shoulders backward while raising and opening your arms — turning your fists away from you — and press the dumbbells over your head, in a smooth and controlled motion. Lower the dumbbells, returning to starting position.
