The deltoid muscle is the muscle [1] forming the rounded contour of the human shoulder. It is also known as the 'common shoulder muscle', particularly in other animals such as the domestic cat . Anatomically, the deltoid muscle is made up of three distinct sets of muscle fibers , namely the
The deltoid muscle covers the top of each shoulder joint. This deltoid muscles workout uses dumbbells to improve posture, mobility, strength and shoulder injury risk.
A slight variation in the lifts can hit the deltoids even harder, while moving upwards, just turn the hands slightly downwards, keeping the last finger higher than the thumb. This is an isolation exercise for the deltoids. Also works the forearms and traps. Equipment: dumbbells, cable machine or lateral raise machine.
The rear delt raise, also known as the rear deltoid raise, or rear shoulder raise is an exercise in weight training. This exercise is an isolation exercise that heavily works the posterior deltoid muscle. The movement is primarily limited to the two shoulder joints: the glenohumeral joint and the scapulothoracic joint.
The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
The rotator cuff compresses the glenohumeral joint during abduction of the arm, an action known as concavity compression, in order to allow the large deltoid muscle to further elevate the arm. In other words, without the rotator cuff, the humeral head would ride up partially out of the glenoid fossa, lessening the efficiency of the deltoid muscle.

There are zoology observations that certain animals emulate a push up action. Most notably various taxa of the fence lizard exhibit this display, [31] primarily involving the male engaging in postures to attract females. The western fence lizard is a particular species that also engage in this behavior. [32] (It may be noted that in Mexican ...
