Charles Glass Shoulder Workout
The workout consisted of five movements:
The first two exercises are performed seated. With dumbbells, it might become easy to swing the weight and this is the main aspect that Charles Glass wants to avoid. For lateral raises, the weight is kept at your side while front raises are obviously kept in front. It is important to stop at the bottom of each.
“Chest up, shoulders back, and you go straight out, slightly bent. Don’t swing it.”
Maintaining healthy and strong shoulders is vital to achieving your fitness goals and improving your overall quality of life, as you use your shoulder to do a lot of functional tasks. Whether you’re aiming for new maxes in weightlifting, throwing more powerful punches, or looking good on the bodybuilding stage, having a solid shoulder workout plan is essential.
Shoulder press is another movement performed seated and Glass expressed the importance of staying back in your seat to “work the anterior delt.” The workout ends with reverse pec deck. This can be easy to incorporate the tricep if the weight is swung back. Glass reminded you in his video to stay locked out and avoid swinging.
“As long as it stays like that, that’s good. It’s going to lock you right in, but they lock their arms out, and now they got more triceps than anything else. Then, they try to swing it all the way back.”
