Shoulder Training

Shoulder-Training-Laura-Donegan-Fitness

Trying round out my shoulders and create prettier caps is a goal of mine.  My shoulders tend to respond faster than the rest of my body, so I only train them once a week.  Because I have been dealing with tendonitis in my right elbow/forearm/tricep area, I don’t grip the handle when doing one arm cable lateral raises – I place the handle over my wrist instead. To keep it balanced, I do the same with the left side.  If the tendonitis is really bothering me, I switch to the lateral raise machine and work both shoulders simultaneously (skipping the one arm cable raises).  I rest about 45 seconds between sets.
