What are the
best Shoulder Exercises
you can do?
Well, the shoulder exercises of the wild, of
course! And what does that mean? Using your own bodyweight, as nature
intended. Take a look at how strong and powerful the shoulders are on
this picture of a Gorilla. If he can develop these kinds of shoulders
without going to a gym, why do you think you need weights to train
yours? 
A Safer and Healthier way to
Train
Besides the fact that you can develop broad and
sexy shoulders using only your own bodyweight, the fact of the matter
is that it is much safer and healthier to train this way as well. The
reason for this is that with weight training you are only using a
single range of motion. This can lead to wear and tear on your rotator
cuff, for example. When you train naturally with your own bodyweight,
not only do you strengthen the muscles, but the tendons and ligaments
as well.
Avoid the
Dangers of Weight
Training
The number of injuries people sustain when weight
training is fairly astonishing (When I used to lift, I managed to hurt
myself on several occasions). In the past, if someone had a rotator
cuff injury, they were most likely a baseball pitcher. The injury was
very rare. Nowadays, people believe it is healthy to train their
shoulders by doing bench and shoulder presses with barbells. The
results? An epidemic of torn pectoral muscles and rotator cuff
injuries. This keeps the sports medicine people happy, but why do it?
It is practically impossible to injure yourself this way when you train
your shoulders the way nature intended.

free, you need to train naturally in the way that nature intended. If
