How to build powerful, 3-dimensional shoulders

How heavy should you go? Choose a pair of dumbbells that let you comfortably bang out 15 reps.

Do the 'A' exercise for the prescribed reps, then go immediately to the 'B' exercise. when you finish the 'B' exercise, rest for 2 minutes. That's 1 superset. Complete 3 supersets total, and then move on to the next superset.

1A. Neutral Grip Dumbbell Presses x 10-12 repetitions
1B. Dumbbell High Pull x 10-12 repetitions

Complete 3 sets.
