gym tips of deltoids point


·      One-Arm side cable laterals
Purpose of exercise: TO isolate THE SIDE HEAD OF THE DELTOIDS.
This movement, which was a favorite of Sergio Oliva, helps ring out definition in the shoulders, and works the side and rear deltoids heads together.
Execution: (1) stand upright with your arm down beside you holding on to a handle attached to a floor

Standing lateral raises


Purpose of exercise: TO DEVELOP THE OUTSIDE HEAD OF THE DELTOIDS, WITH SOME BENEFIT TO THE REAR HEAD.
Execution: (1) Take a dumbbell in each hand, bend forward slightly, and bring the weight together in front of you at arm’s length. Start each repetition from a dead stop to keep yourself from swinging the weight up. (2) Lift the weights out and up to either side, turning your wrists side m turning your wrists slightly( as if pouring water out of a pitcher) so that the rear if the dumbbell is higher than the front (this helps to involve the rear head or the deltoids). Lift the weights to a point slightly higher than your shoulders, then lower them slowly, resisting all the way down. (A common mistake with this movement is to rock back and forth and swing the weights up instead of lifting them with the deltoids. Doing this cut down on the effectiveness of the movement and should be avoided.) 
Variation: you may have a tendency to cheat a little when doing standing lateral Raises. However, this can be avoided if the same exercise is done in a seated position.

Machine presses


Purpose of exercise: TO TRAIN THE SHOULDERS.
Doing presses on a machine helps you to do the movements very strictly, and allows you to avoid clearing a weight if you to avoid cleaning a weight if you have some sort of physical problem. Also, you can let the weight come down much lower, which gives you extra stretch in   your front delts. There are any numbers of machines on which you can do a shoulder press movement (Universal, nautilus, smith) but the principle remains the same.
