This workout is all about building balanced shoulder strength — hitting every angle while adding in some upper-body stability and control. You’ll move through presses, raises, and rows to challenge your muscles and keep your form sharp.


Whether you’re training at home or in the gym, grab a pair of dumbbells (light to medium) and get ready for a shoulder burn that also strengthens your back and chest.

💥 The Workout


Perform each move for 30–45 seconds or 10–12 reps.

Complete 3–4 rounds total. Rest 30–60 seconds between rounds.


1. Front Raise – Lift the weights to shoulder height, keeping arms straight but soft at the elbows. Focus on controlled movement.

2. Push-Ups – Engage your core and chest while supporting the shoulders. Modify on knees if needed.

3. Arnold Press – Start with palms facing in, rotate and press overhead, then return to start. A classic move for full shoulder engagement.

4. Overhead Press– Drive the weights straight up from shoulder height, keeping your core tight.

5. 1/4 Lateral Raise – Lift arms out to the sides, pausing a quarter of the way up.

6. Wide Row – Pull the weights toward your chest with elbows wide, squeezing shoulder blades together.

7. Deadlift to Front Raise – Combine strength and control — hinge at the hips for a deadlift, then lift into a front raise at the top.

8. Rear Fly – Slight hinge forward, lift the weights out to the sides, and feel the squeeze in your upper back and rear delts.
