Today we're going to do an elite shoulder workout. We're going to do DTP — dramatic transformation principles — with super sets. We are going to destroy our anterior delts, lateral head of the delts, and the rear head of the delts. If your delts are a weakness, or you find it's a muscle group you have a hard time connecting with, this workout will help you grow. You'll feel a huge amount of activation in your shoulders, and you'll walk away with a powerful pump.
