9 Best Shoulder Exercises for Men

#6 Shoulder Push-up

Broadly put, this could be seen as a subtle variation of the standard push-up with a rigorous focus on shoulders. It also strengthens the triceps of the body. This works out as a great alternative to individuals looking to improve their shoulder strength with minimal fitness equipment. Moreover, the versatile nature of the exercise also makes it ideal for a home gym.

Instructions:

Step 1: Start the exercise in the standard push-up position and move your hips upwards to form an arch ensuring that the hip region is the highest point of the body.

Step 2: Then, move your head such that the top portion of the head makes contact with the floor. Make sure that there is minimal change in the position of hips. Hold the position and continue the exercise for regular intervals of time.

Important Tip: Care should be taken to lock the shoulders to prevent injury.
