The 16 Best Shoulder Exercises To Destroy Your Delts And Carve Out Major Definition
Shoulder Exercise 4 — Battle Ropes
How To:
Protocol: 45 seconds
Primary Muscle(s): Front Deltoids, Traps
- (1) Grab two ropes with a firm grip and squat down slightly. Sit back into your hips and keep your abs tight.
- (2) Vigorously pull the rope up with either arm and then throw it down. Continue to alternate up-and-down and build up speed as your arms get into a rhythm — the ropes should look like two waves.
- (3) Repeat for 45 seconds or until your arms give out.
Pro Tip: You can also do battle ropes in sync and raise/lower both arms at the same time. It sort of looks like a Hulk-smash.
