Want bigger shoulders but don't have access to a gym? This simple isometric shoulder exercise requires nothing more than a doorway and a few minutes of effort.

By pushing against a door frame using maximal isometric contractions, you can create a powerful stimulus for your deltoids without dumbbells, barbells, or resistance bands. Research shows that isometric training can increase muscle size and strength when performed correctly.

In this video, you'll learn:
• How to perform the doorway shoulder isometric
• Proper shoulder blade positioning
• How hard to push during each set
• Progression strategies for continued growth
• How often to train for best results

Try this workout 2–3 times per week and see how your shoulders respond over the next 4–6 weeks.
