Strong shoulders aren’t built by chance — they’re built by understanding every head of the deltoid. 💪🔥
At Gold’s Gym India × Gold’s Gym Fitness Institute (GGFI), we focus on training with science, not guesswork. Whether you’re lifting for aesthetics, strength, or performance, knowing how each deltoid head works changes everything.
🟡 1. Anterior Deltoid (Front)
✔ Helps raise the arm forward
✔ Used heavily in pressing movements
✔ Trained best with: Overhead Press, Front Raises
GGFI Focus: Students learn how elbow angle, grip width & shoulder position affect activation and safety.
🟠 2. Lateral Deltoid (Side)
✔ Creates shoulder width and roundness
✔ Raises the arm sideways
✔ Trained with: Lateral Raises, Arnold Press
GGFI Focus: Correct scapular alignment, slight elbow bend, and avoiding momentum for true side-delt work.
🩷 3. Posterior Deltoid (Rear)
✔ Pulls arm backward
✔ Essential for posture & shoulder stability
✔ Trained with: Reverse Flys, Face Pulls
GGFI Focus: Teaching control of the scapula, retraction cues, and how rear delts support overall upper-body strength.
🧠 Why This Matters
Most people overtrain the front and ignore the rear, creating imbalances and injuries.
At GGFI, we teach the full biomechanics behind every movement so future trainers can:
• Choose the right exercises
• Cue clients correctly
• Prevent shoulder issues
• Build balanced & aesthetic shoulders
• Program smarter, not harder
From classroom theory ➝ to practical labs ➝ to gym floor execution…
GGFI ensures every trainer understands muscles, movement & proper technique the way professionals should.
💡 TIP for Better Shoulders:
Train all three heads weekly — balance = strength + shape + longevity.
