Anterior & Medial Delts (PD Muscle Series) | PD Podcast Ep.182

We are back with a new muscle group today! Over the next two weeks, we will be diving into the anterior and medial delts. This muscle group is one of Sue and Alex's favorites to train and grow. And—delts are incredibly important as they are used in nearly every function of the upper body. Listen in as we discuss daily activities that the delts contribute to (which is a lot), why you should grow your delts, programming considerations for your training sessions, and some common delt training mistakes. Be sure to download the FREE delts cheat sheet so you can follow along with this and next week's episodes! As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.
