“Shoulders Make the Man”
I’ve heard that phrase countless times and I’m sure you have, too. So, how do you get stronger, more powerful shoulders? Well, there are the standard answers:
Shoulders make the man
- military presses
- dumbbell presses
- heavy shrugs
- power cleans
- deadlifts
These exercises work. Look at any powerlifter and you’ll see the proof. But sometimes, you just want to add a little variety to your workouts.
Bulgarian Training Bag for Strong Shoulders
Betcha haven’t heard much about Bulgarian training bags. They’re pretty expensive, but you can make your own. Joe Hashey at Synergy Athletics produced this video demonstrating 40 Bulgarian training bag exercises. Though not all the exercises are strictly for the shoulders, there are enough shoulder exercises demonstrated to keep your shoulders sore for a few days.
So, get creative – make your own Bulgarian training bag. I have and I plan to make a couple more of various weights. Let me know what you think.
