Question Hi there,
I have weak shoulders, or i guess you can say i slouch and have bad posture. What machines at the gym would benefit me in strengthening the muscles on my back where the shoulder is..
THank U
Answer Hi Kari, there are three primary muscles in the shoulder..pushing movements work the front of the shoulder, parallel pulling movements work the rear of the shoulders, and raising the arms out to the sides with weights work the medial deltoids. Sounds like you could use some of all three with emphasis on pulling and rowing type movements.
