Introduction

It is time for another One Bench Workout. This time we are going to be hitting shoulders. Shoulders is a great one bench workout because you can do most shoulder exercises sat down. Which means if you find yourself in a busy gym then you know you can always train shoulders if worse comes to worst.

So let us go through this one bench shoulder workout, then after we will give you a little breakdown and a few tips. 

The Workout

This One Bench Workout is going to focus on a triple set, we are going to be doing 3 exercises back to back and completing a few rounds. Going to be a high volume, high intensity. Let us get into the workout.

  • Shoulder Press X12
  • Lateral Raises X12
  • Shrugs X12

3-5 Rounds

No Rest Between Exercises 

1-2 Minutes rest between rounds 

The Breakdown

This One Bench Shoulder Workout starts with a standard seated shoulder Dumbbell press. Going to perform 12 reps of these. Making sure we are doing a 3-second negative. Keep the dumbbell under control and focusing on form. After these exercises, we are going to go straight into 12 reps of lateral raises. Again, Focusing on form and doing a 3 -second negative. You can do these seated or standing, whichever you prefer. After performing 12 Reps of lateral raises we are going to move on to 12 Reps of Shrugs. You can use Dumbbells but we highly recommend that you use plates (If your gym has plates that you can grip). You can try to do a 3 second negative with the shrugs or if you want you can do a 3-second pause. Either or.

As you can see, in this One Bench Shoulder Workout, we are performing 12 reps on each exercise and are trying to hit every part of the shoulder. If you wanted to and have time you could put a reverse fly on the end to hit the rear deltoid. As with the other workouts, we aren’t having a rest between exercises (or very minimal at the most). You can complete as many rounds as you want but we would recommend between 3-5 rounds. Depends how much time you have.
