Front raises done properly with light weight is the perfect way to warm up your shoulders. It's also one the safest shoulder exercises. It has always been a staple for me. The 2 exercises that damage shoulders overtime are dumbbell shoulder laterals and upright rows.

The issue with this video is that they are looking at things in a very small context. Its irresponsible considering how many people subscribe to their channel. When you put out info like this you need to make sure the viewpoint you are making your conclusions from is front and center before you start bashing things or giving people bad information because their end goal is different. Besides injury and rehab people who's main focus is bodybuilding, not strength training but bodybuilding will see great value in front raises especially using them as a pre-fatigue on lighter pressing movements like reverse grip military press which is a hyper focused movement and a movement you are going to see very few people doing or as a super set with heavier pushing movements like a traditional military press. Also am I in the gym to train a movement or a muscle? If I'm there to train a movement or just for sheer growth then again for the average gym goer, every single arm isolation exercise should be throw out and arm day just replaced with a second chest and back day but if you are in there to fully develop a muscle in terms of bodybuilding at some point you are going to have to train arms to accomplish your goal. Also them determining that free squatting can be transferred to things like running and jumping is inaccurate. Since those things require CNS adaptations to improve and are type 2 dependent simply doing slow heavy free weight squats won't translate into better running or jumping performance. As a matter of fact they will more then likely cause your top end performance to decrease. That's where speed work comes in, bar speed exercises and things like cleans, hanging cleans and box work, activities that kicks the CNS system back into gear come in to play. If you are trying to improve sprinting or jumping performance you need to follow slow movements with fast movements. Heavy squat with a box jump, hanging clean, etc. In terms terms of leg development this is another movement vs muscle situation. If you are trying to develop the muscle first and foremost then how you perform the reps are going to be a much more important factor then smith machine vs leg press vs free squat. This is the bigger problem for most people. Not understanding how to actually perform a rep, what sequence are the muscles supposed to fire or what a proper contraction is or negative is.

Now matter how you perform your tricep kick backs. With dumbbells there is no resistance during the negative. with cables you have resistance throughout. A dumbbell kickback is not targeting your triceps during the negative, no matter how controlled the movement is. You are simply just holding the dumbbell from falling down.

@@madhav401 you never lifted a weight properly in your life, anyone who has knows its all about stretch of the muscle to contraction of the muscle and if you have proper mind muscle connection you can create tension in any muscle you want whenever you want whereever you want , chances are your more concetrated and focusing on the movement of the cable when your using a cable and that your using to heavy of a weight for yourself when using a dumbell so you have 0 control of it when bringing it to your shoulder so your not strong enough to create the tension with the particular dumbell you use. It is the same motion with a cable as it is with a dumbell, in reality you have less tension with the cable because its on a pulley system which decreases force and tension

The point is: at the end of the movement (using dumbbells) the tension on triceps are zero, just because you are with your arms in a 90° form and the gravity pull it to the ground. Obviously, the tension on triceps using dumbbells is going to variate according to the movement. On the other hand, using cross machine the tension will be "constant" through the exercising, just because it's cable based movement

After getting hurt in a bike crash and then finally getting back to working out a few years later, I found that I could no longer use heavy weight on pressing movements. I started adding in front dumbbell raises and at first could only use the 10 pounders! I got up to using the 50 pound dumbbells for 10 reps and finally had round, full front delts after all these years of working out!

It has been explained elsewhere on KZbin that Machine Squats have a risk towards the joints of the legs! Primarily the hip joints, knees, and possibly ankles. Anyhow, that is the warnings, especially to the hip joints that I have heard. Better to do squats - use dumbbells, leg extensions, stiff legs deadlifts; legs slightly bent. As for the stiff legs deadlift exercise; the bar, or dumbbells are lowered close to the inside of the ankles, lower shin area. There is also the standing leg curl exercise on a machine specially designed, and made for working the hamstrings, too.

@@nateyoung6331 it depends if you can get much deeper angle on other exercises like Smith or single leg or leg raise/press machines. If the angle is similar then I'll say u can just workout like others except u can only get to certain depth. If u can do better on others then I'd suggest u keep on different exercises but squats should still be stapled in ur schedule I believe.

Front raises don't only work the front delt. It really forces the whole shoulder to contract to stabilise the weight in front of you. Try doing them after your press, rear delt and side delt movements when you have a big pump already. To perform front raises you want to flex your abs and tilt your hips backwards slightly like when begining a squat. Also the Smith machine squat is a great movement If you are a very advanced lifter who uses a lot of weight on your barbell squats. It's way less taxing on the CNS to squat 500 lbs in the Smith than on a barbell but it builds just as much muscle. And done come at me with any stabiliser bullshit. Anyone with sense does other movements than just squats. The adductor and abductor machine is great for hip stability and it's more effective at building your adductors and glute medius than regular barbell squats.

"bro you've got killer front delts" is something that's been said to me many times. Maybe that's because I'm a huge proponent of front raises, as are most bodybuilders, and training them is crucial to keep them in balance with the side and rear delts. A minute in and you've already lost all credibility. Next.

Man these videos are rough to watch. Saying that the front delt gets all the development it needs from being a secondary mover from pressing is nonsense. The front raise with a pronated grip is the problem. But that’s too much to explain in text. Then, to say that a kickback is a waste of time is ridiculous. You don’t need all exercises to work the entire resistance profile of a muscle group. Kickbacks emphasize the shortened position. Cables allow for emphasis of the long and mid range of the triceps. Both have a purpose. Also, long head is trained by lining up the resistance profile with the long head of the triceps. AND THEN, to say free weights are better than machines for developing balance and coordination is true, but machines eliminate limiting factors that aren’t the strength of the prime mover you’re targeting. If your goal is to grow muscle, smith machine is just as good if not better than free weight squats. A lot of this info is just generic and non specific bro science.

Squatting with free weight across the shoulders compresses the vertebrae thus risks tearing a disk, not to mention they work the hips, hamstrings and glutes more than the quads.

Squats are just dangerous for your spine. Adding load on top of shoulders when you are bending leaves immense stress on the bend. Not worth it. Leave that one to the pros who are willing to sacrifice their spine for whatever reasons.

My front delts were weak as fuck even with all the benching and presses. Front delt raises helped me because when you do them at the beginning of a shoulder workout, it not only works them out but helps warm up the shoulder. Then when you get to pressing, the front raises don't really affect the presses because the triceps are still fresh and you the delt becomes the limiting factor.

somehow in the very beginning of my training days I kind of hate to do dumbbell kick back exercise. In my initial days when I was asked to do it, I literally did not want to do it, thinking i don’t get the feel with it, and to me no feel means no gain also. I never performed this exercise in last 14 years. and also in last few years I realized that doing it with cable giving me good pump and control. And all these exp. I had by myself no coaching nothing. I feel pleased sometimes that I got some good understanding with the training without and formal guidance.
