5 Top Compound Shoulder Exercises To Build Big Shoulders

#3 Dips

The dips are one of the best upper body exercises as they not only activate the shoulders but also tone the chest and the triceps.

Instructions:

Step 1: Position yourself in front of parallel bars and hang yourself from them. In the initial position, ensure that the arms are fully extended and parallel to the body.

Step 2: Slightly lean forward and lower yourself until the upper arms are parallel to the floor. The hips should go down below the parallel bars.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position. Do not let your feet touch the floor throughout the duration of the exercise.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Perform the dips while wearing a weighted vest for added resistance and improved customisability.
