If you want to build well-rounded delts, there are two things that have to happen: For starters, you’ve got to understand the anatomy and physiology of the shoulders. Once you understand what muscles are involved and, more importantly, what function they’re responsible for, choosing the right exercises and how to perform them more effectively becomes obvious.
Second, once you’ve chosen what exercises you’ll be performing, focus on progression. If you’re performing the right exercises using proper form and gradually increasing the load (i.e. increasing reps without sacrificing weight or increasing weight without sacrificing reps), your shoulders will grow.
In this video I want to, briefly, go over the basic anatomy of the deltoids and their functions, and then I want to go over what is, in my opinion, the perfect science based shoulder workout for mass.

Get Ready To Hit The Town With This Beauty Advice
Are you creating your own beauty regimen for the first time? You probably don’t even know where to start. It’s no secret that creating a beauty regimen for the first time can be a bit intimidating. Below are some tips that can help to make finding techniques and products that work for you a bit smoother.
If you are light skinned or have light hair you may want to consider tinting your eyebrows. This will enhance the color of your eyebrows and will draw attention to your eyes and brows. You can tint your eyebrows by yourself and can find the the tint at most beauty stores.
Your hair color should influence which cosmetic colors look the best on you. For example, if you are a brunette, you can use a dark mahogany eyeshadow as a multitasking tool. In a pinch, it can be used to fill in sparse eyebrows, line your upper lash line, and even cover gray roots on your hairline.
Emphasize the sharpness of your cheekbones by applying a shade of powder blush that is one shade deeper than your normal cheek color product. Using a blush brush, dab on a spot of the powder in the hollows of your cheeks just under the cheekbones. Remove excess powder, then blend in a circular motion.
To deal with greasy or oily hair, shampoo every other day and just rinse with water on the other days. Sometimes people with oily hair try to combat the problem by over using shampoo. This removes to much oil from hair, which makes the sebaceous glands overcompensate to replace it.
Foundation under the makeup cap makes a great concealer. If you have no concealer, use the makeup from underneath your foundation’s cap. That makeup will work well to conceal because it covers imperfections, and it is thick.
Choose your eyeshadow based on your eye color to make your eye makeup really pop. If your eyes are blue, shades of brown are the most flattering. For brown eyes, try purple shadows like lavender or plum. If your eyes are green, golden shades are very flattering, as are many shades from the brown family.
If your skin looks like it could use a wake-up, try this idea. Use a hot, damp washcloth (with a few drops of your favorite essential oil on it, or plain is fine too) and press it gently against your face for a minute. Finish with a splash of very cold water. The heat will improve your facial circulation and open your pores, while the cold water will tighten your skin and wake you up generally.
Regular massage treatments can help you physically and mentally. There is a long list of benefits massage gives you; it promotes lymph drainage and toning, it removes toxins, and it stimulates your circulation. Relax and enjoy a massage on a regular basis.
Before using any kind of eyelash glue around your eyes, test it on the inside of your arm twenty-four hours before you are planning to apply it to your eyes. This is the best way to test for allergies and can help you avoid having your eyes swell shut from an allergic reaction.
Use steam to refresh your face. Steam releases the impurities in your pores, and you don’t need to go to a sauna. A bowl or other container of hot water and a towel are all you need; just hold your head over it and let the piping hot steam redeem your skin.
Used coffee grounds are a great way to exfoliate for your hands. Once cooled, put the coffee grounds in a plastic bag, and keep them in the refrigerator. Rub about a teaspoon of grounds a couple of times a week, then rinse, and apply hand cream as usual. Coffee grounds work in much the same way as when you exfoliate with sand-based products, and your hands will feel silky smooth.
You can make your lipstick last a bit longer by taking an additional step when you are applying it. Simply blot your lipstick between applying the different layers and you will find that the life of your lipstick will be prolonged. You will find that you will not have to reapply quite as often.
Some things can’t be done after waxing. Never subject yourself to direct sunlight and stay out of tanning beds for no less than a day. Do not take a hot bath or shower after waxing, either. With your pores being wide open from the waxing, these activities can lead to problems. By waiting a bit, you get better results.
As part of your beauty routine, buy high quality makeup brushes. High quality brushes contain fine hairs, which will make your cosmetic application even. They are also soft on the skin, so you can avoid those micro scratches that can lead to wrinkles and blemishes. A high quality set will cost more, but it is well worth the investment.
If you are worried that your favorite fragrance may fade away during the day, think of adding some to your hair. You don’t want to spray it directly on your hair, but, instead, spray a light mist to the bristles of a brush and run it through your hair. You and your hair will smell great for the rest of the day.
Here is a beauty tip! In order to keep lipstick on for an extended period of time, apply a lipstick made for chap lips over it. That’s right two lipsticks! One is for color – one is for the top coat! Not only does lipstick made for chap lips help to heal dry and cracked lips, but it helps protect the color below that the other lipstick gives your lips. Be sure to apply just a small coating of it over your lipstick.
As you have seen, beauty regimens are not as scary as they might appear at first glance. Just think of all of the benefits they have and all of the fun techniques you can pick up along the way, along with all of the money it can save you on finding products that work with your body and budget.
