Shoulder Superset Workout Routines


I think building up ripped shoulders is underrated. Look at any person who has a killer physique and it includes nicely chiseled shoulders.

Your shoulders don’t need to be ultra-wide in order to improve your physique working them out. The key is some clear muscle definition.

As you can probably tell by this website, I’m a big believer and doer of superset workouts – both same-muscle and different muscle supersets.

What follows below are 2 similar shoulder superset workout routines. They are same-muscle supersets which means you do 2 exercises back-to-back targeting your shoulder muscles.

Here are the workouts – different rep volume

Workout #1

Superset #1

  • Military Press 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps
  • DB side lateral raises 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps

Superset #2

  • DB Shoulder Press 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps
  • Cable side raises 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps

Superset #3

  • Upright Row 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps
  • Barbell Shrugs 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps

Superset #4 (optional) – targets traps

  • DB shrugs 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps
  • Rear BB shrugs 15 reps / 12 reps / 12 reps / 10 reps

Workout #2

Workout #2 is much the same as #1 except that #2 has different rep volume. The rep volume for #2 is lower to foster strength gains instead of size gains.

Superset #1

  • Military Press 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps
  • DB side lateral raises 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps

Superset #2

  • DB Shoulder Press 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps
  • Cable side raises 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps

Superset #3

  • Upright Row 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps
  • Barbell Shrugs 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps

Superset #4 (optional) – targets traps

  • DB shrugs 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps
  • Rear BB shrugs 10 reps / 8 reps / 6 reps / 6 reps

Tips:

Take 30 to 90 seconds rest in between supersets.

Take no rest in between exercises within a superset. For example, do the DB lateral raises immediately after military press (superset 1).
