These are among my favorite exercises and are very effective.
With a dumbbell in each hand, allow your hands to hang down at your side, palms facing in. Look straight ahead. Slowly raise your hands to the side until you reach about shoulder level. Rotate the dumbbells slightly, thumbs turning down and pinky turning up. Raise your arms a little above shoulder level.Hold a second, then lower.
Use a light weight for 12 reps, then add about 5 pounds per dumbbell and do a set of 10 reps, then 5 more pounds and do a set of 8 reps. Your shoulders will explode. If you have to in the beginning, you can use the same poundage throughout.
Now follow the basic instructions but this time raise your hands to the front until the weights are about even with your eyes. Palms are facing down throughout.
Add these 2 shoulder exercises and watch the shoulders grow.
