A Top Trainer Shared His Workout for Building ‘Boulder Shoulders’

July 13, 2022 Billie S. Dickenson

In a new video on the Athlean-X channel, strength coach Jeff Cavaliere C.S.C.S. demonstrates a series of exercises that he says will help you build “boulder shoulders” by recruiting all three heads of the deltoid muscle.

Instead of performing one high-volume set after another, Cavaliere focuses on performing a smaller number of reps at a higher intensity on each exercise, increasing the weight and reaching
