\nBest Body Weight Shoulder Exercise?
\nThe BEST Body Weight Only Shoulder Exercise
\nThe Pike Press – Best Body Weight Exercise for Shoulders<\/p>\n

by Forest Vance, author, Body Weight Strong 2.0<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m going to talk to you about how you can train your shoulders with body weight only.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to train your legs with just your own body weight- you can do lunges, variations of squats like pistols, etc. It\u2019s also fairly easy to train your chest with various forms of a push up or other pressing movements.<\/p>\n

But when you think about training your shoulders with just body weight, you need to be doing some sort of overhead pressing movement like a handstand push up.<\/p>\n

This is a great exercise, but you need to work up to it. So if you aren\u2019t quite at the level of being able to do a handstand push up, a great alternative to train your shoulders is called a pike press.<\/p>\n
