5 best shoulder exercises to build your upper body? 

Few men& woman relish shoulder workouts, but neglect them at your peril. Failure to broaden out up top will mean that no matter how many sit-ups you do or how many inches you loose from your waist, you're not going to be able to carve out  To get that, you need shoulder exercises.

1. Seated Lateral Raise

Sit on a bench and hold a dumbbell  in each hand by your side. Raise both dumbbells to your side until they're shoulder height. Lower under control and repeat.

2. SEATED BENT-OVER LATERAL REAR DELT RAISES

The clue is in the name, but these bad boys are going to help build those rear delts (basically, the back part of your shoulder). 

Start off sat down with a dumbbell in each hand. Lean forward slightly and raise the dumbbells until your rear delts are fully contracted. Keep the movement slow and controlled to get the maximum benefit from the exercise.

3.Upright Row

Another great mass builder," says White. "Get your elbows higher than your hands for a peak contraction of the deltoid. The upright row also targets the traps." Compound moves like this benefit from heavier fare than the raises, allowing for less reps and bigger weights to keep your delts in shock.

Hold a dumbbell in each hand, resting in front of your thigh. Lift the dumbbells vertically until they're in line with your collar bone, with your elbow pointing towards the ceiling. Lower the dumbbell back down and repeat.

4. Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press

 

Grab a pair of dumbbells using a normal, overhand grip and sit down on a seated utility bench (i.e. a bench with a vertical backrest).

Stand the dumbbells on your thighs, and slide your rear all the way to the backrest. Create a slight arch in your back, making sure that both your lower and upper back maintain contact with the backrest.

Kick your knees up one at a time, to launch the dumbbells off your thighs and up to your shoulders. Support the end of the dumbbell against your front deltoid as you prepare for lift off. Make sure your palms are facing forward.

With your elbows in line with your hips, press the dumbbells up. Bring the dumbbells closer together as you approach the top of the rep. Locking your elbows at the top is optional.

Proceed to lower the weight in a controlled fashion. Stop lowering the weight once your elbow joints form 90°, angles. Repeat.

5. Standing Military Press

Position your feet close together and lift the dumbbells up to your shoulders, palms facing forward. Press the dumbbells above your head explosively until your arms are fully extended, then lower the weights under control.
