This workout targets the deltoids, upper traps, biceps, triceps, lats, and pecs—alternated with glutes and abs—to create balance throughout the body. By reinforcing these muscle groups in sequence, you’ll build strength, stability, and resilience for healthier, more powerful shoulders.

Because they are both stabilizers and movers we n...
