Resistance training is a form of training in which you perform a full range of motion against an opposing force generated by resistance. There are numerous health as well as physical benefits of performing resistance training exercises. Not only do they help increase the size and strength of your skeletal muscles, but they also increase your bone mass. Moreover, resistance exercises are also effective for fat loss and they help transform your saggy and flabby body areas into hard group of muscles.

It is important to realize, however, that resistance training exercises require an accurate technique to be effective. Therefore, for irregular gym users and novice exercisers, it is always recommended that they start their resistance training in the supervision of a qualified gym trainer. He or she not only will suggest them a right combination of strength exercises keeping in view their general health, body condition and fitness level, but will also guide them on how to perform those exercises with a full range of motion. Another advantage of hiring a professional fitness trainer is that he will design them a perfect diet plan keeping in view their exercise routine.

You can make use of single muscle resistance exercises to particularly target your one muscle group, compound resistance exercises to target a group of muscles, or a combination of both. However, if you want to include single muscle resistance workouts in your regular training sessions, then probably you might love to develop your shoulders first like most of the body builders and regular gym users.

Wide and broad shoulders play a major role in enhancing your looks and physical appearance. They are taken as a symbol of strength and an athletic body. There are numerous resistance training exercises which can help you strengthen your shoulders. One particular exercise that is quite effective in this regard is ‘Standing Barbell Military Press’. When you perform this exercise on a regular basis, you can thicken and broaden your shoulders within a few months.

In order to begin this incredible exercise, you should stand with your feet shoulders width apart, select a barbell of suitable weight, and place it behind your neck. After you have placed the weight safely, raise it above the level of your head smoothly and bring it down to its starting position. This would complete one rep. Make sure that you perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps each to challenge your shoulder muscles.

There are certain precautions which you need to follow when performing this exercise. First of all, keep your arms slightly bent and don’t extend them too far up during the whole motion. Second of all, you should control the weight by keeping your motion constant. Another precaution is not to move the barbell too quickly because it can lead to the shoulder muscles’ injuries. When performing this exercise, it is also important that you keep your shoulders tight.

After resistance training exercises, make sure that you nourish your body with protein-rich diets such as lean meats, fruit milkshakes or vegetables’ salad.
