Additional Information

It's important to adjust the weights and reps based on your fitness level and goals. If you're just starting out, start with lighter weights and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger.

Rest for 60-90 seconds between sets and 120-180 seconds between exercises.

Aim to train muscle group 2-3 times per week, giving your muscles time to recover and rebuild between workouts.


Information about the Shoulder muscles

The shoulder muscles are a group of muscles that are responsible for the movement and stability of the shoulder joint. These muscles include the deltoids, rotator cuff muscles, and scapular muscles. The deltoids are the main muscles responsible for shoulder movement, and they are made up of three parts: the anterior, middle, and posterior deltoids. The rotator cuff muscles are a group of four muscles that surround the shoulder joint and help to stabilize it. The scapular muscles are located in the back and help to stabilize the shoulder blade.
