This exercise can be done while standing or sitting on a bench and the Heavy Handle allows numerous variations. Start with your elbows directly below your shoulders, with your hands facing your body. With your elbows in a slightly bent position raise your arms up until they are parallel with your shoulders. In the first set of pictures, Ray has the
Ironcompany.com weight plates
facing forward to target the front of his deltoid muscles. To target the
back of the deltoids, turn the weights around so that the plates are facing
behind you. In the pictures below, Ray does lateral raises with the weight on Shaft B, but with his thumb and weights pointed out and at the end of the exercise, his thumb and weights are pointed towards the ceiling.
Front Lateral Raises can be done with weight either on Shaft A or Shaft B, however it also quite a grip work-out to try any type of shoulder raise with weight on Shaft A! In the first section of pictures below, Ray has the Iron Company.com weight plates on Shaft B facing his body to target the inside of his deltoids.
In the pictures below, Ray has changed the position of the handle so the weights are facing away from him and targeting the outer deltoids.
The rear delts can be worked by changing the resistance angle
and performed as shown in the pictures below.
The Heavy Handle™ wasn't designed with 'shoulder shrugs' in mind, but some of the athletes that had tested the prototypes had said that they could feel "something different" when doing shrugs with weight on Shaft B (as shown below) when doing shrugs. As with all the other exercises, you can adjust the weights on different shafts and changing the position to target your traps and shoulders a slightly different way. The only limit is your imagination.
