Deltoid muscle training is a focus of shoulder training, but in such a key training project, due to the eagerness of many exercisers to achieve success, errors have occurred when doing some deltoid muscle training movements. Therefore, there are still some training misunderstandings in deltoid training. So what do you think are the misunderstandings about deltoid training? Let’s go take a look below!

The first mistake: rising from the bridge when doing the seated press

We all know that dumbbells or barbells The seated press is an essential action in deltoid training, and it is also the action in which the deltoid muscles can bear the maximum weight. But when many students do this movement, they are out of vanity and like to use very heavy weights. Whether it is a seated barbell press or a seated dumbbell press, if the weight is heavy, it will naturally bridge, leaving a large gap between the waist and the back of the chair. Once there is a gap, the waist will arch and it will be easy to borrow force. When this gap becomes large, your movement is no longer called a seated dumbbell press, but a dumbbell incline bench press!

The second mistake: the trapezius muscle borrows too much force

Many people use the trapezius muscle to borrow too much force when practicing dumbbell lateral raises. For dumbbell lateral raises, you must use a small weight. But when many people do this movement, they use a lot of weight, and the weight may even exceed that of the seated dumbbell press. Using a heavy weight when doing dumbbell lateral raises will lead to relying entirely on explosive force when exerting force, and greatly relying on the strength of the trapezius muscles.

The third mistake: Continuously doing barbell pulls

Barbell pulls have a very good effect on the middle deltoid muscles! But to do this action, you need to pay a high price: the shoulder joints are severely worn, and the trapezius muscles become more developed. The problem with the barbell pull-up is that the arms are raised and the humerus is rotated at the same time. During the movement, the arms and shoulder blades have very limited space to move backwards.
