Are push-ups the best way to train your deltoids?

Many people in life like to do push-ups, because it is not only simple to operate, but also can be done smoothly no matter in the gym or at home. More importantly, it can not only help us improve our physical fitness, but also make our arms more powerful and stronger. Nowadays, many people are keen on deltoid muscle training, so they also want to rely on ordinary push-ups to complete it, so I want to tell you whether push-ups are the best way to exercise deltoid muscles.

Push-ups can indeed exercise the deltoid muscles, but they are not the best way. Here are three methods for your reference for exercising the deltoid muscles: 1. Push-up: mainly exercises the anterior, middle and posterior bundles of the deltoid muscles. Action: Sit down, hold dumbbells with both hands at the sides of the body, with elbows extended and palms facing forward, push the dumbbells in an arc to the highest point, pause for a moment, and slowly control the dumbbells to return to the original route (arc). Tip: You can also do it in a standing position, with both arms at the same time, or you can do it with one arm alternately.

2. Lateral raise: mainly trains the middle bundle of the deltoid muscle. Action: Hold dumbbells in both hands and let them hang in front of your legs. Lean your body forward slightly, bend your elbows slightly, and lift the dumbbells to both sides to shoulder height, so that the deltoid muscles are in the "peak contraction" position. Pause for a moment, then control the shoulder muscles to slowly return to the original position. It can also be done with one arm, alternating between the two arms. 3. Lateral raise: mainly exercises the posterior deltoid muscle. Action: Hold dumbbells in both hands with your palms facing each other, bend over and bend your knees, keep your body stable, raise your arms to both sides, and then control and slowly return to the original position. The number of sets is four, and the number of repetitions is 12-15. Rest for 1 minute between sets.

After reading this, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of how to correctly and effectively exercise the deltoid muscles. So we should know that although push-ups are a good fitness exercise, they are not omnipotent. If you want to make a part of your body stronger, you should choose the most correct and appropriate method to achieve better results. However, in the process of exercise, you must adhere to the principle of "gradual progress, from less to more, from easy to difficult" to avoid causing certain harm to the body.
