If you want that capped delt look, you have to hit the lateral deltoid muscles directly and the Cable Lateral Raise does exactly that. Unlike the Dumbbell Lateral Raise or the Seated Lateral Raise, the cable machine keeps constant muscle tension through the full range of motion.

The best workout for shoulders should hit all three heads of the deltoids: front delt, middle delt and rear delt. It should also create overload, include explosive movement and train the shoulders through their entire range of motion. It should include exercises like the Barbell Overhead Press, Relay Raises, High Boy Rows, OBB Landmine Press and OBB Twisting Thruster.
Shoulder shrugs mainly target the traps or trapezius muscle. The key for effectiveness in the shoulder shrug movement is that rather than lifting the shoulders straight up and down, you should lift them up and back at an angle.
To effectively target the shoulders, you’ll want to do 2-4 shoulder exercises in every shoulder workout. Like most other muscle groups, you should aim to workout shoulders about 2 times per week.
The shoulder press, also known as the overhead press, works the front, rear and middle delts, the upper chest and the triceps.
The best way to build shoulder muscles is to target the by using lighter weights. This is because heavy compound lifts aren’t the best at building shoulders since they receive so much assistance from other upper body muscle groups. To get bigger shoulders, try the Zero Momentum Side Lateral Raise technique.
The shoulder muscles are called the deltoids. The delts have 3 heads, known as the front delt (anterior deltoid), rear delt (posterior deltoid), and middle delt (lateral deltoid muscle).
The best shoulder workout should hit all three heads of the delts: front, middle and rear deltoids. It should also create overload and train the shoulders through their complete range of motion. It should include exercises like the Barbell Overhead Press, Relay Raises, High Boy Rows, OBB Landmine Press and OBB Twisting Thruster.
The 3 best shoulder exercises are the Barbell Overhead Press, Relay Raises, High Boy Rows, OBB Landmine Press.
