Shoulders Muscle 101 ...
Your deltoid
development should show definition and striations no matter what
movement you make, while hitting all of the poses just cited as well as
when you are moving in transition from one to another. There has to be
an interconnecting so that the three heads work together with all the
adjacent muscles, thereby giving you a hard, muscular look.
But having
complete deltoid development is also important while standing relaxed.
From the front and from the back, good side deltoids development makes
you look wider. In front, you should have complete separation of the
deltoids and pectorals. For some people, this separation is natural; for
others, it requires a lot of specialized weak point training. From the
side, rear delt development gives you that "bump" in the back of the
shoulders you see so clearly in great champions like Flex Wheeler or
Dorian Yates, and both the rear deltoids and traps are extremely
important when viewed from the back.
Of course,
shoulder width and deltoid development are actually two different
things. Many bodybuilders with comparatively narrow proportions have
been saved by great deltoid development. One additional point worth
making is that all of the bodybuilding champions trained very
differently.
Our point
here is that no two individuals have bodies that are exactly alike or
will end up training any body part exactly the same. There is not a
bodybuilder alive who has never had to adjust his training to overcome
weak points in order to create a well-proportioned and balanced
physique.
