A recent study showed the 2 best exercises for deltoid development were the 45 degree prone 'elbows wide' rows and side laterals.

Here's a great shoulder superset 'with a slight variation' of performing side laterals with a power band while on the step 360.

Workouts are meant to be challenging. But coming up with a good workout can be hard for most people.

A well rounded workout should include a combination of upper and lower body, with functional movements for various rep ranges and limited rest.

It's always satisfying when I see my clients destroy a workout such as this. It shows determination and how far they've progressed.

Want a challenge? Give it a try!

It's never to late to start your quest for health and fitness.

A client had never been in a gym before, she used to claim she was 'allergic' to working out. That was until she met Ian at strive strength and fitness.
Now she works out regularly and feels stronger everyday!

You are doing amazing!!
