Barbell exercises for shoulder and deltoid strength

Trainer Andrew Tracey has developed a barbell-based routine designed to increase strength and muscle mass in the deltoids. The program, shared via Men’s Health, includes 12 different exercises that utilize various grips, body positions, and movement trajectories to stimulate the upper body.

The routine features several types of press movements. These include the traditional overhead press and the military press, which focus on strict technique. Other variations allow for the incorporation of leg drive or unilateral movements to target different areas of the shoulders and stabilize the core and trunk.
