Short & Sweet Shoulders

If you've ever found yourself short on time and needing to get a workout done in record time then this little shoulder workout could be just what you need. Only 2 exercise and it should be done in 20-30 minutes but this will pump your shoulders to a whole new dimension.

You start with lateral raises and pick up light 5-10lb dumbbells, you do 5 reps then pick up dumbbells that are 5lbs heavier and do another 5 reps. Keep repeating this progression until you cannot get 5 reps then work your way back down the rack in 5lb increments again doing 5 reps, when you reach the bottom it's back up again. By now you will be feeling it and breathing hard but keep going until you can't manage 5 reps with any weight.

Now you are warmed up it's time to hit a compound movement, for safety's sake I suggest Machine shoulder presses, again the method is simple; up and down the stack 5 reps at a time only this time in 10lb increments (some machines differ but try to stick to around 10lbs). Keep going until you are fried, puking is not an excuse to quit!

20-30 minutes later and you will be seriously pumped and drenched in sweat, your heart should be trying to beat it's way out of your chest. You are now done in a short time you have had a brutal shoulder workout and done a fantastic cardio session. Just don't expect to raise your arms above your head the next morning.
