The two would go on to become firm gym partners, but King would need to suck it up in order to hang with one of the greatest to ever compete on a bodybuilding stage. Fortunately, the young upstart had a winner\u2019s mindset.<\/p>\n<p>King tells<em> M&amp;F<\/em> that he competed in 15 bodybuilding competitions before qualifying for his first Olympia in 2022. Now, he\u2019s not only competing on some of the biggest stages around, but he\u2019s also a respected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/workout-routines\/roman-reigns-hits-raiders-gym-with-a-championship-worthy-upper-body-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coach, with WWE superstar Roman Reigns<\/a> among his clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy body has changed dramatically,\u201d says King of his training with Greene. \u201cI\u2019ve learned so much. like the whole training style.\u201d The bodybuilder explains that he\u2019s learned to be more detailed in his approach: Instead of simply training a muscle, he now hits it from every angle. This is evident in the below shoulder workout, designed to tax the deltoids from multiple directions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/michal-krizo-prep-for-the-2025-pittsburgh-pro-signals-a-huge-comeback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Bodybuilder-Michal-Krizo-flexing-his-muscles-ahead-of-the-2025-Pittsburgh-Pro-bodybuilding-competition.jpg?w=150&amp;h=84&amp;crop=1&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, 280px\" alt=\"Bodybuilder Michal Krizo flexing his muscles ahead of the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro bodybuilding competition\" width=\"150\" height=\"84\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Bodybuilder-Michal-Krizo-flexing-his-muscles-ahead-of-the-2025-Pittsburgh-Pro-bodybuilding-competition.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Burak King\u2019s Detailed Deltoid Workout<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bent-over Barbell Rows (Rear Delt Focused):<\/strong> 4 sets, 20 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bent-over Shoulder Raise:<\/strong>\u00a03 sets, 20 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standing Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise:<\/strong>\u00a04 sets, 20 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standing Dumbbell Front Raise:<\/strong> 3 sets, 20 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upright Barbell Rows:<\/strong> 3 sets, 20 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arnold Press:<\/strong> 3 sets, 12 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seated Dumbbell Press:<\/strong> 3 sets,\u00a0 20\/15\/12 reps<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seated Barbell Smith Machine Press:<\/strong> 4 sets, 20 reps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Burak King\u2019s Workout Breakdown<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe usually start with rear delts and work our way around the shoulder,\u201d explains King. For the uninitiated, the deltoids are the muscle group that provide the shoulder with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/6-exercises-boulder-shoulders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that \u201cboulder\u201d appearance<\/a>. Beginning with the bent over barbell rows, he crushes the posterior deltoids (the rear delts). \u201cElbows high, pull the barbell to your neck,\u201d coaches King. \u201cWith the bent-over barbell row we are squeezing the rear delts, traps and the entire upper back for all-round density.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rear delts are also worked by the bent over shoulder raises before he turns to the side delts with standing dumbbell side lateral raises. The anterior deltoids (front delts) are up next, courtesy of the standing dumbbell front raise, while the upright barbell rows hammer both the front and sides of his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Channeling the legendary Kai Greene, King gives it his all in every workout, and blasts his anterior (front), lateral (side) and posterior (rear) delts with the famed Arnold Press. Concentrating on his front deltoid, the seated dumbbell press is up next and to finish, the seated smith machine press targets the sides of his shoulders one more time. Of course, the added beauty of a detailed shoulder work out like this is that secondary muscle groups will be worked too, such as the biceps, triceps, upper chest, rhomboids, lats, and trapezius.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the weight to go up with each set, for each exercise,\u201d shares King. \u201cEverything is high reps and high volume with short rest periods. We execute each set back-to-back sometimes as one giant set. The focus here is to get a lot of blood in the muscle while focusing on time under tension and deep contractions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While most are content with simply getting a working out in, Burak King is sculpting masterpieces under the watchful eye of a legend. With this high-volume, high-intensity onslaught, your delts will deliver. And, if you\u2019re not pushing yourself with a detailed approach like this, you are not training like a true King.
