Love Your videos . Informative n detailed .Thankyou so much

[@propertruelove]

hey..where did you get the cable attachement for your rack..which brand/name is that? looks great.

[@CitizenAthletics]

It's from Ancore Training

[@Redmaile25]

Damn. I love your channel. You explain things well and with visuals! 💪

[@timtang7870]

Insanely informative! Love these videos!!!

[@MT-sq3jo]

Well done! I especially appreciate the proper techniques suggested for the side lateral raise, a very basic movement yet so many people are doing it wrong at the gym! Unfortunately, I can’t keep my arms totally straight to avoid risk of irritating my elbows leading to tennis elbows flaring up. I would also add that I try to keep my shoulder blades down throughout the movement to remind myself not to let the traps help lifting the weight.

2:14 I've been playing around with many different angles for the past one year, and I could not agree with you more, very precise presentation. 👍

[@KenanTurkiye]

13:18 To get a better stability and negate other muscles needed and further isolate the rear delt, I extend the leg I'm on and cross the other over it planting its foot base on the platform and/or the floor. Very educational vids, thank you.

Hi, what is your opinion about inpinjment syndrom in this movement?

[@peternissen7632]

Great video as always! I have one question. You mention that the lat has a harder time working in full flexion, thus the posterior delt gets more trained in dead hang pull-ups etc. Do you have any research on this? I don't have the same experience from my own training. :)

[@adomasjasiukenas1425]

Hello! Once again - nice video! I have a two part question and the second one could be an idea for your next video! 1. What do you think about Y raise which is getting pretty popular now for mid delts because it “fully shortens it”? 2. What do you think about the concept of “matching the resistance curve with strength curve”? For example, I heard that lats are strongest in the stretched position and because of that bent over lat rows are not the best exercise because it is hardest at the top. As always, I am always waiting for your new videos, keep going!

[@CitizenAthletics]

For the Y raise, it's beneficial but not necessarily because it fully shortens it. Generally most muscles see most hypertrophic benefit from being worked at either long ranges or mid ranges, not shortened ranges. For the Strength curve and resistance curve, it's a slippery slope that research has not fully supported so far. It's worth considering, but not fully justified at the moment.

[@MT-sq3jo]

@@CitizenAthletics I thought prone Y raise benefits mid traps and some rear delts as opposed to mid delts???

[@adomasjasiukenas1425]

Best triceps exercises video coming soon? Loving this series!

[@CitizenAthletics]

Yup!

[@terrencenesamony6841]

Thanks sir greetings from india

[@proudmisfit4405]

always well done. QUESTION: how can I incorporate unilateral and bilateral work into my program? begin with unilateral or bilateral?

[@diesertyp7822]

Very generally you'd want to start with the bilateral ones. Unilateral exercises typically offer less stability, which can lead to a reduced force output, so it generally makes more sense to do them later in the session when your force output is lower in the first place and it's just less of an issue.

[@training.with.tyson1989]

Question about the lateral raise and activating rotator cuff. I’ve heard that the lateral raise is one of the best exercise for the cuff. If so, what cues would you give in regards to range, palm position, or others to activate the rotator cuff. Or would you use another exercise?

[@brandong1986]

Love your videos. Great information that is easy to understand and apply. Shoulders has always been a tough area for me to develop, specifically the posterior. The exercises you provided will be a huge help for my routine.

[@CitizenAthletics]

You are so welcome! Happy to help!

Thank you!

[@marcvinyard5413]

Thank you for the great video. What type of cable unit were you using?

[@CitizenAthletics]

It's from Ancore Training

[@evelioguaperas]

The only reason I haven't incorporated hanging side lateral raises yet is that I'm worried my supraespinatus would weaken without other exercises challenging that range of motion, what do you think about it? Ps: Your lighting game is on point, you look like a beast while performing the exercises!

[@CitizenAthletics]

Thank you! Been working on the lighting at the new gym, still trying to maximize it! For the supraspinatus, if you're doing a lot of other pressing/pulling, you likely don't need to worry about it since it will get worked quite well across all of the different movements since it'll be contributing. Not a necessity though, if you're worried about it, just stick with the classics!

[@golemcone]

Did someone notice the "Easter Egg" at 10:36 min. ;-D ;-D ;-D ?

[@ChristopherRobin58]

I was just about to comment on that! 😂

[@CitizenAthletics]

Hahaha my daughter was in a lot of the scenes!

[@rayturkhan]

I don't agree with taking the cable between your legs. Nor do I think it's a good idea to hold the bar and lean to one side while doing lateral raises. Little to be gained by doing them that way and there is increase risks. Other than that, some really good insights in this video.

[@thecorruptversion]

arm straight when doing lateral raises? dude, I'm so confused, athlean and many others, say to lean forward a little bit and having you arms slightly bent
