How I like to do lateral raises

[@mangosamosa4378]

Great way of doing it. However, trying to do that on the benches at my gym, each rep would be like playing face plant roulette. 😅

Reverse incline DB side raises are a staple in my program! The pump is insane after 3-4 sets

[@StMargorach]

I love doing these as myo rep match sets

[@victorvictor9662]

you sit backwards on incline bench ?

[@StMargorach]

@@victorvictor9662 i stand (with sprad legs) smd lean agaimst like a 70 degree bench. i dont care how i look doing it. sometimes ( a lot) i fold my towel in 3 over the top edge and bite into irt . becasue i have the tendency to start moving my head and torso back when aproaching fail XD i do 3 sets ,usually , as myo rep match sets. And on days ur feeling extra, you can add 2 drop sets.

[@nickmirkovich4698]

@@victorvictor9662 use the bench has a chest support

[@StopTheDamnTape]

Yes I discovered myself that lean forward and also having arms slightly bent leads to a way more intense middle delt feeling/pump. High reps and rest pause are also where it’s at imo

[@KickingwithKara]

You just saved so many rotator cuffs with that 45 degree tip 💪🏻👊🏻 I’ve grown my delts from lots of drop sets and volume. I love the sir Charles P seated too. 😊

​@@ivog2256 you should have used a dumbbell instead, better for mind muscle connection

[@valentinoesparza2399]

This is exactly how I’ve done them from the beginning. Not because research, not because I knew better or was told better. But purely because this is what has always felt best

[@KaiLongstorm]

I love that you're giving more options to people with these clips. My shoulders are shit and think I've got messed up bio mechanics. It's nice to have different ideas to try. Hopefully these will feel more comfortable. Thanks man.

[@tlh7490]

At a frontal angle is shoulder scaption....healthier for shoulder joints and overall complex

[@AS-pug]

Seated lateral raise is so much better than standing.. the burn is wicked

[@gamerkyle14]

FINALLY , i can show poeplecthis video its not just me who does these lioe this, and my mates was like why? And now i have the answer. This is THE way to do them in my opinion and no dhoulder pain

[@HughMansonMD]

Agreed. The posture tweak makes me actually feel my delts and has helped the shoulder gains quite a bit

[@dunhillmint77]

I have been doing them like this for a long time. When I teach someone and they ask me why I explain muscle recruitment and that since the medial head is off-center standing straight up will involve the front delt about 30%-40% but when you hinge forward about 15°-20°, the medial head will now be parallel to the floor and get the maximum stimulation.

[@megspoetry]

Perfect, thank you

[@RDbodybuildingreardelt]

Great tips! I Learned this from Alex Leonidas

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

beautiful video, sean nalewanyj said something similar a while ago and i've been following these tips ever since. Lateral raises on dumbells feel better than on cables for me but i use both, one for more fun (dumbells) another for hypertrophy/stretch (cables)

[@pearlosibu]

Yeah, cables are rough 😂. Even 5lbs is crazy for me.

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

@@pearlosibu especially depending on the angle which changes the resistance curve, if the lift is hardest at the bottom then holy moly man it just destroys my delts and now my delts are only growing bigger and bigger. there was a time when my front delts were FAR bigger than my side delts cus i didn't know you had to do lateral raises for them lol i only did shoulder presses. Now my side delts and front delts are similar in size. Consistency... les gooooo

[@StMargorach]

Yes, I push myself up against the bench on just a slight slight angle. I also fold over a towel and out it over the bench, because when I'm pushing to fail I want to start moving my head and torso hangars, so I bite into the towel and keep myself in place 😂

[@ethangc081]

This is very unconventional form, and it looks physically unappealing, but I like to completely round my upper back forward doing this. Really helps me feel my side delts working and refuses to let my traps contribute at all.

[@Hyperborean_2]

Good tip brother Cheers

[@amandeepsingh8600]

Sir is blessing to fitness industry.

[@ozzysideika7840]

Could just lean back on the bench when it’s fully up, basically forces you to go slightly forward with your arms

[@darkhorse5390]

It's crazy but I realized this today when I was working out it felt more effective but I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. Thanks man for assuring that

[@MiguelangelRada-z8k]

Thanks for that 💪 Do you know another exercise for side letters

[@16777215]

These are very good cue. Except... Not really 45 degree, that would be too much of front delt activation... I'd say it's like 60 to 70 degrees from front. Also you can internal rotate you arms as much as you want without the worry of shoulder injury in such angle.

[@agafonovas]

I just put my butt against a wall and lean a little. Crazy pump and my delts really started to grow. A find it helps to eliminate that little swing of whole body so I guess it helps.

[@sencrew5293]

When you're against the wall are your calves touching the wall too? Trying to visualize and incorporate that too.

[@agafonovas]

@@sencrew5293 no, I put my feet maybe a foot from the wall

[@JohnnyBoy-sy8jt]

The last time I did a bench supported lateral raises, one of the bench back supports bent and the whole thing collapsed and I fucked myself up. I'm still too traumatized to try it again 💀

[@vSwampFox]

Dr. Mike Istraturtle … lol recommends Full ROM side lateral raises. All the way above your head thumbs in.

[@fwilbyjohnson5908]

Been trying to give them a shot for the last month or so. They are definitely harder and force you to go light. Can't say they've helped with growth, but I think my shoulders feel a little better. Thought it was interesting he said to do that. Never seen anyone else recommend.

[@sestriaxo5769]

That would not be healthy for the shoulders

[@vSwampFox]

@@fwilbyjohnson5908 I too have added them. Undetermined.

[@vSwampFox]

@@sestriaxo5769 you would think so. I don’t find them difficult, with light weight, but my shoulders feel fine. I do however find half range I get more burn and isolation on the side delts.

[@xJMAN92x]

[@aviadglove7]

Once I started doing Lu raises seriously, this just feels like a half squat.

[@suprememusic4741]

Same here

[@prashantpawar1263]

F*** how did algorithms know today was my shoulders day 😮

[@glady9784]

Guys, try flat bench one arm side lateral raises or behind the back cable side lateral raises (hand height). Best stretch and resistance curve

[@xander_raine]

Based

[@mannydephu7135]

For me the opposite is true. Standing upright and raising my arms until they're above my shoulders in a controlled manner works my side delts a lot better. This way just hurts my rotator cuff, particularly the one on my left. But it's horses for courses I guess and everyone's built different.

[@Hyperborean_2]

Adjust the weight

[@HughMansonMD]

One of the things that helps me with lateral raises and overhead presses is thinking about getting my arms away from my armpits

[@But_WhatIf]

I think about getting my elbow at least 45° degrees away from my torso

[@danielmontgomery6234]

Am I the only one who does side raises with an axe? I'm serious, I use a 5lb chopping axe and the weight distribution is the MOST perfect I've ever felt. Naturally makes me rotate my pinky towards the ceiling and the burn is ridiculous. I may need to get a heavier axe tho, 5lbs is a bit light even with the odd weight distribution.

Eugene i still don't get it why we need to lean forward while doing this movement, when i lean forward i still can feel my traps , but if i lean backward just a little bit i can totally de-active my traps.

[@talentekhuzwayo2705]

Doesn’t this target the front delt more.

[@thomasducharme9566]

Would doing cable side delt raise be the equivalent? Or id need to supplement with db aswell?

[@whoyou2crew]

So was he saying to keep a partial range of motion from halfway down to all the way up To about shoulder level with the dumbbells through all the repetitions of the set?

[@JesusChristFitness_Official]

KZbin implemented a new annoying feature 💀

[@robbylebotha]

45 degree is not slightly out, it’s literally halfway out. Sorry I’m just pedantic. Otherwise it’s a good variation, besides doing it on a bench like that, seems uncomfortable especially for tall people and also why hog a bench unnecessarily

There are as many ways to do side delts as particles in the universe 😢

[@ChasingChevy]

The thing with the need to keep creating content as a content creator is that you're pigeonholed into pumping out something even if there's nothing worth putting out. If you keep trying to reinvent the wheel every 2 days then the people you're supposedly trying to help are never going to progress because they keep changing their training style based on your "training tips"

How to turn a side delt exercise into a front delt exercise.

[@Jay-we2ek]

How to tell everyone you have no idea what you're talking about in just one comment. You clown 🤡

[@HughMansonMD]

Thats just incorrect. If you've tried it, you would know that the slight foward tilt in your torso and arms definitely makes you feel it more in the lateral head. This slight posture tweak has improved my delts quite a bit, and is probably the catalyst that moved me up from perpetually repping 20 pounders.

I do both, ego lift and science based lifting. Each works his own

[@gustavo_oviedo]

That's so inefficient.

[@doke1x]

@@gustavo_oviedowhy do you say that? I treat my shoulder like any other muscle. First heavy load 8/10 reps and half reps failure, then another exercise where I control and squeeze. Ever since I do it like that they have blown

Too bad there is zero tension on the shoulder muscles when the arm is straight down. There are better versions of this excercise that provide tension in that position. This one is obsolete.

[@VX-cy4du]

People overcomplicate things way too much. You're lifting an object from the side upwards. Do what makes you feel comfortable

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

For people who prefer to be specific with their muscle-building training, things like this can make a big difference if you apply it to all muscle groups and/or exercises. Do you think the average lifter with not particularly favourable genetics but want to maximise their progress should just lift how they feel and see what happens? What about someone who competes in bodybuilding hoping to make it a career, should they just lift weights and hope they're doing it the best way?

[@HughMansonMD]

He is literally giving people extra options so they can find what works for them comfortably.. This is how I do lateral raises comfortably. I would have never guessed to try it this way if I hadn't seen it in another video like this before. Fitness, like most things, is shockingly accurate to the dunning-kreuger meme. The curve looking like: "fitness is so complicated, I'll never understand it" --> "its so simple. Just lift heavy thing and eat " --> "fitness is so nuanced, no one will ever fully understand it"
