Side delts exercises
The side of the shoulder lifts your arm out to the side. It's what makes shoulders look broad.
Isolation exercises
One muscle, one joint. Good for adding sets without much extra fatigue.
How much to train your side delts
About 8 to 12 hard sets a week to start, up to 12 to 20 as you get more experienced, split over two or more sessions, each set ending 1 to 3 reps short of failure. More in how many sets per week and reps in reserve.
