How to fix narrow shoulders?

Not everyone can boast of an athletic figure and a straight shoulder line. Often it is the narrow shoulder and shoulder tilt that makes the figure streamlined and shapeless, the head seems visually larger, clothes on sloping or narrow shoulders do not sit well enough and requires the use of sewn-in hangers.

The problem of narrow shoulders is easily corrected with the help of fitness loads on the shoulder girdle. It is enough to swing the muscles of the forearm, shoulder and upper back to obtain an extended contour of the shoulder girdle.

To pump up the shoulder girdle, exercise equipment ("butterfly", block trainer - upper pull), horizontal bar, expander, dumbbells, barbell and simple push-ups from the floor or bench are used. Any regular physical activity using the listed means in a few months will bring the shoulder girdle to a classic look and make the contours of the figure athletic and slender.

What muscles should be pumped to expand the shoulder girdle:

  • The deltoid muscle of the shoulder has three bundles: anterior, lateral, posterior, which form the outer contour of the shoulder (this is the superficial muscle). The deltoid muscle is involved in the movement of the shoulder when abducting the upper limbs forward, to the sides and back, rotates the shoulder.
  • Trapezius muscles of the back - located in the upper back and back of the neck (these are the superficial muscles). The trapezius muscles move the shoulder blades and take part in turning the head.
  • Latissimus dorsi - Located in the lower back (these are the superficial muscles). This muscle moves the shoulder and allows the upper limbs to be pulled back.
  • The rhomboid muscle of the back is located under the trapezius muscle (this is the deep muscle). The rhomboid muscles move the shoulder blades, bringing them to the spine or lifting them up.
  • The muscle - the extensor of the spine - stretches along the lumbar spine (this is a deep muscle). The spine extensor is attached to all processes of the vertebrae and laterally to the ribs. This muscle straightens the spinal column and forms posture.

Exercises to build the muscles of the shoulder girdle and back:

  • Exercise with dumbbells, loading the deltoid muscle - alternating abduction of arms with dumbbells to the sides when the body bends forward at an angle of 45 degrees with a straight back, lifting dumbbells with slightly bent arms to the sides, lifting dumbbells on straight arms in front of you (15 - 25 repetitions in several approaches for each exercise).
  • Exercise with a barbell, loading the deltoid muscle and back muscles - press the bar in a standing position ("army" press). The bar is removed from the rack, lowered to the level of the chin and lifted up (ten times in three approaches with increasing load - weighting the bar).
  • Exercise for the horizontal bar, loads the deltoid muscle and back muscles when pulling up on the horizontal bar with a wide grip.
  • Push-ups from a flat or inclined surface will also load the muscles of the shoulder girdle and back.

All exercises are repeated as many times as necessary to feel the load of the muscles - the appearance of tension or pain in the muscles. When the muscles get used to the load, the number of approaches with repetitions of the exercise and the weight of sports equipment (dumbbell weight, barbell weight) change.
