But when we are doing shoulder training, what kind of training method should we choose? Many people don't know whether heavy weight is more effective or light weight is better for shoulder training.

1. Muscle structure

First of all, we need to understand that from the perspective of muscle fiber types, the deltoid muscle is mainly composed of slow muscle fibers, which means that light weight and high repetition training is beneficial to your muscle growth.

Through light weight and high frequency training, the external load imposed on the shoulder joints can be reduced, thereby reducing the joint pressure accumulated over time.

In addition, high-repetition training is easier to accumulate metabolic stress, make your muscles congested, and get the pumping sensation of the target muscle.

Second, the growth of the deltoid muscle requires metabolic stress

The growth of the deltoid muscle requires metabolic stress. Metabolic stress is a very important factor in muscle hypertrophy. The main source of metabolic stress is the product of anaerobic glycolysis of muscle cells during exercise.

 

So for shoulder training, especially when we are doing some single-joint training, such as side lifts, front lifts, leaning over birds, etc., more reps, more sets, and less rest are more helpful to our training. .

Pay attention to maintaining muscle tension during the action, thereby increasing the stimulation of the muscles. I believe that more serious training actions will make you feel the burning of the shoulders.

3. Where is the application of heavy shoulder training?

When we are doing multi-joint training, such as military referral, in order to increase your shoulder strength, it is recommended to use a lower number of training.

Heavy training can improve our muscle strength, and heavy and high-quality press can make your shoulders stronger.

But you have to know that heavy training is not very effective for muscle growth. If you want a more fit body, it is recommended that you train for medium to high reps.
