Bodybuilder Shaun Clarida Shares His 'Delt Domination' Shoulder and Triceps Workout
2020 212 Olympia bodybuilding champion Shaun Clarida isn't known as the 'Giant Killer' for nothing. Despite his size – Clarida stands at just five-foot, two inches – he's still a beast in the gym, as his latest shoulder and tricep workout proves.
The Giant Killer starts his 'Delt Domination' workout with rear-delt cable flys, lateral raises and shoulder presses. He chooses these exercises because they target the rear and side delts, which, in his opinion, are underworked in many shoulder and push-day programs.
Once he's done with shoulders, Clarida moves onto press downs and tricep extensions, saying "the most important part of this movement for me at least is that stretch and opening up the tricep."
