Hi guys i have a few questions to ask, hopefully i'll get some answers from here.
1. Does working on front/side/back deltoids help widening/broadening shoulder? 2. Which part of muscle does lateral pull down machine use? if i'm not mistaken the main part should be latissimus, but does it also use arm and shoulder muscle? 3. What do you guys usually do to particularly enlarge bicep muscle? besides dumbbell curl 4. Kindly suggest me some exercises/workouts which ultimately widen and broaden shoulder   Thanks! |

QUOTE(van_takawa @ Jul 16 2011, 11:21 PM) 1.Yes, working deltoids widen shoulder. Thanks man that helps a lot!2. Lateral pull down machine is like a compound movement, it's target your back (lat), but of course you use your arm to pull down.So arm muscles are involve too. 3.Hammer curl is good too. And Concentration curl for the "peak".Preachers curls also work for bicep. 4. Shoulder presses, upright row, lateral raises, shoulder front raises... These are the exercises that work your shoulder. But China's Great Wall isn't build in one day, normally a wide shoulder come with small waist. And for those shoulder workouts, you can always check BB.com. Otherwise, ask swimmers. Swimmers normally have wide shoulder and back.  |

QUOTE(mikehuan @ Jul 17 2011, 01:10 PM) 3. going as heavy as you can on the basic curl does it for me. without sacrificing too much form of course Thanks!! i started doing concentration curl and concentrate on the 'peak', i can really feel the pressure on my biceps haha. By the way, i saw some video comments on youtube saying about 'strong' and 'endurance' style for the same exercise. when doing strong, more weight and lesser reps; when doing endurance, lesser weight but more reps. would anyone care to clarify and explain this? Thanks! |

He only did close grip push up in the video, what about wide grip push up?? what i mean is, does the video say close grip push up better than wide grip?? as far as i know, they work different part of muscle as wide grip gives more tension on pecs. |
