Training and Isolating the Side Deltoids

There are a number of exercises for training the side deltoids but many of these exercises also train the front deltoids and triceps as well. However, there are only a handful of ways that are effective for isolating the side deltoids and building thickness in the shoulders.

Rear Deltoid Exercises

The rear deltoid muscles are often overlooked when training the shoulders although they really give a polished and rounded look to the shoulders when they are developed. There are number of rear deltoid exercises that will stimulate growth in the delts but usually you only need to do 3 heavy or high intensity sets for the rear delts at the end of your shoulder workout. If you always finish your shoulders workout by performing a few sets of rear deltoid exercises you may notice some immediate growth in the rear delts and this will complement your front and side deltoid development.

There are a number of other great movements for growing the delts but none are as effective in building mass as the shoulder press. One of the main reasons why the shoulder press is so effective for big deltoids is because it can be performed in a number of different ways to target the shoulder muscles from numerous angles. It is from constantly hitting your shoulders at slightly alternate angles by using different exercises that cause your body to grow workout after workout and not get stuck on a plateau of no growth.
