SHOULDERS AND TRAPEZIUS:

With G-Werx you acquire the freedom to combine machine and classic dumbbell exercises for maximum benefit to your shoulders. Improper shoulder and stabilizer muscle development is a common cause of neck, upper back and shoulder pain.* Underdeveloped shoulders can also create a hunched or slumped look to your body. G-Werx machine exercises such as upright cable rows and cable shoulder shrugs effectively utilize multiple shoulder muscles at the same time. Free weight military press, lateral raise, and curl to press exercises are safer and more effective with the G-Werx bench upright, providing you back support. G-Werx shoulder exercises can greatly improve or restore posture, symmetry and balance with lighter weight and high numbers (12-20) of smooth and controlled repetitions. Build size and power with sets of lower (8-12) repetitions.

Your shoulder muscles or deltoids consist of three primary areas: Posterior (rear), Lateral (side), and Anterior (front). Deltoid muscles stabilize the union of your arm and torso. They allow you to move your arms out to the side, raise them to the front and rotate them inward or outward. Many shoulder exercises also work the trapezius muscle ('Traps'). Your Traps slant down each side of your neck between the base of your skull and upper back. The trapezius muscle shrugs your shoulders and rotates your shoulder blades. Your shoulder muscles are activated in almost every sporting activity including throwing, pushing, lifting and every day to day activity involving upper arm movement. Exercise your shoulders two or three times a week to get dramatic improvement to your posture and muscle tone.
