3 Key Tips For Hardgainers for Getting Broad Shoulders

If you are a hardgainer then chances are you are probably unlucky in shoulder width too. Every guy wants big broad shoulders, but unless you naturally have them a lot of guys find them hard to build up muscle there. The shoulder muscle (called the deltoid) are split into three muscle parts – posterior deltoid (front), lateral deltoid (side) and anterior deltoid (rear).

The main part of the deltoids that will broaden your shoulders are the side delts – the lateral deltoids.

If you want broad shoulders you have to work your lateral deltoid muscles. Unfortunately in most peoples workout schedule they do not include enough exercises for their lateral deltoids.

Exercises to work your Lateral Deltoids and make you look wider

The main exercise to work these muscles are Lateral Raises.

(image credit) To do a lateral raise follow these instructions:

• stand with a shoulder width stance
• Hold a dumbell in each arm with your arms down by your waist
• Raise your arms to the side to just above shoulder level
• Return your arms back to by your waist

This is the main and key exercise for broader shoulders. You can replace dumbells with a cable machine, but dumbells are typically regarded as better.
