Dwight Howard, the former basketball center, continues to captivate his fans with his fitness and workouts. Recently, in his shoulder workouts, Howard showed the internet that he is still maintaining his Superman aura, even at 40.

On May 13, the 8-time All-Star posted a short clip on his Instagram, posing a question to his fans, “How long y’all think it's going to take?”

In the clip, Howard was seen doing seated shoulder dumbbell presses and admitted that he is trying to get his famous Orlando shoulders back.

During his prime, his shoulders were his signature physical trait, which defined his paint-pounding play style.

In 2017, Michael Pina from the Vice article wrote, “Dwight Howard’s shoulders don’t know how to retreat…. these shoulders still sit atop a pair of impossibly muscular arms as one of the most effective physical characteristics basketball has ever known.”

According to Tumblr, during his peak, Howard followed a structured workout routine for his shoulders, which included:

• Smith Machine Military Press
• Behind-the-Neck Shoulder Press
• Arnold Press
• Dumbbell Shoulder Press
• Lat Pulldown
• Shoulder Press Machine
• Shrugs
• Front Lat Raise

While Howard shows he is again trying to get back those heavy muscles, his fans have started appreciating this moment and praising the star.
