A dumbbell shoulder session of presses, raises and flyes in 30 minutes, with slow, controlled reps and an optional chair.

Caroline Girvan's shoulder workout covers pressing, lifting, lowering, partials and flyes to hit every angle of the deltoids, with slow, controlled reps and extra attention on the lowering phase. Each exercise runs 60 seconds with 30 seconds of rest, and a 60-second finisher takes you to technical failure. The video runs about 35 minutes.

Equipment setup

🏋️ Dumbbells

Who Is It For?

Lifters comfortable with dumbbells who want a thorough shoulder session with slow reps and a hard finish.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells in two different weights or if your shoulders are sore, as every exercise loads the shoulders.

Key Benefits

Targets every angle of the shoulders with slow, controlled reps that put demand on the muscle in the lowering phase too.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose weights that keep your technique tidy, stop the finisher when your form slips and ease off if your shoulders or neck complain.
