5 Top Compound Shoulder Exercises To Build Big Shoulders

#2 Pull-Ups

The pull-up is yet another exercise that is essential for a total upper body workout. The exercise not only tones the shoulders but also activates the biceps, forearms, wrists and the lats found in the back.

Instructions:

Step 1: Secure a pull-up bar with a shoulder-width grip while placing the palms away from the body. Hang from the bar such that the arms are perpendicular to the floor in the initial position.

Step 2: With a stationary torso, gradually raise yourself until the chin is just above the bar.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position. Do not let the feet touch the floor during the entire duration of the exercise.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Vary the position of the grip to target different muscles with varying intensity.
