[@johnbarton5]

Yeah right. I’m not the only one who thinks that. “At risk for impingement” well if he knows that, don’t do it. And that upright row like that is also creating impingement. That exercise is and always will be in the graveyard.

[@johnbarton5]

Also, you can go heavy. Just better off using one arm. I’ve done 45s for 8-10 reps using compensatory strength. Use the muscles that like to work together to get the weight up, while also controlling it on the eccentric. Not just dropping the weights. Jeff Cavalier does it better

[@x_Artius_x]

As a physical therapist I am extremely happy that you mentioned the impingement risk of the "pinky up" queuing. We literally have a test called the "impingement test" where we internally rotate the arm in that same way and ask the patient to abduct. I would also say that if you want the most bang for your buck start from a neutral position at the bottom of the movement and move to EXTERNAL rotation. This is because 3 for the 4 rotator cuff muscles are involved in external rotation.. so you will be hitting the lateral delts and also strengthen the rotator cuff as a whole. Excellent video as always. These are incredibly reliable information sources for my more active patients!!

As you said at 5:08 , internally rotating your shoulder can cause impingement. I've found that the best way to combat this is to lean forward about 20 degrees. This shifts the tension nicely without compromising the joint.

Instead of internally rotating the shoulder to get a bigger focus on the medial deltoid, I lean forward slightly to shift the angle of gravity more in line with the medial deltoid. This essentially does the same thing as internally rotating without the possible issues of doing so.

Big like. I'm now 4 weeks into my gaining journey, and I must admit slightly faltering on diet the last few days due to fatigue and being unwell; Still exceeding maintenence at least. I've noticed my lower abs, lats and shoulders are lagging. This isolation video will definitely help, and I'm going to keep looking for more videos on the problem areas I face. I appreciate you Jeff. You treat training as a science, as most things in life should be approached - not to the point of excess, but just as a generally held view of a method of efficient improvement. It pays off when you start hitting the limits because the science finds the extent of the limits and new ways to exceed; which is not granted by the "wing it" apprach.

Thank you, I was looking for a comment pointing this out, Jeff Cavalier from AthleanX recommends external rotation since internal rotation will VERY often lead to injuries and I tend to agree with him. Granted the internal rotation will hit the lateral delt more sharply but it’s not worth the risk, gotta give him credit though he does point out the risk of injury but I think it’s higher than he makes it out to be. Especially with the high reps he’s recommending, a repetitive stress injury in the shoulder from the internal rotation is all but guaranteed

When targeting the rear delts you don’t internally rotate.. you just tilt yourself on a bench. To target the lateral delts you can even externally rotate and tilt your bench accordingly if it feels better this way. Make sure to stay safe on a staple exercise like this one. It is stupid to hurt yourself on a basic isolation movement.

Instead of internal rotation (pinkies up) why don't you try bending forward? It hits the muscle the same without the impingement position. I learned that on Athlean x. Honestly I've developed better capping from hand stand pushups than side lateral raises. That's with my body facing the wall so the side delts are more involved to keep me from falling forward. Works by the same principle. I think the side delts, or mine at least prefer high weight.

If it's bad for most people don't even suggest it as an idea on a platform like this. Because I think we can all agree that there are going to be a handful of people that try this pinky up method , despite the warning, and get hurt as a result. That makes it unwise imo.

I've always liked doing this exercise how Jeff Cavaliere recommends doing it. He recommends pausing your movement at about 30 degrees on the way up, as this avoids allowing you to use momentum from the bottom portion of the movement (which is the easiest portion of the movement) and makes the exercise harder. I really have felt far greater muscle activation in the medial head when doing this exercise. I never felt the muscle work as strongly before as I have when doing it like this, and I have seen vast improvements in the development of my shoulders. I really didn't even have visible shoulder muscles until I began doing this exercise like this 4 or 5 months ago, now my shoulder span looks noticeably wider and I can see my shoulders starting to take that round shape. I feel like doing it this way just works the muscle so much harder. I have also heard that it is good to slightly lean forward at the hips by about 5 or 10 degrees, as doing it straight vertical will involve the front delts a bit at the expense of the maximum use of the medial delts.

The tip to rotating the delts a bit when you raise hands up at the top definitely hit the spot, thank you.

[@notafed6817]

I've done side raises so many times, not once have the delts been sore or strained/burning

[@it991]

Then unfortunately, you didn’t do it correctly. But don’t worry, I had that same problem too in the beginning.

[@DutchDukeMan]

go lighter on the weight and increase the reps

[@Dat.BoyJay]

Same with me but with the overhead press. My shoulders burn during the workout but the next day there is no soreness whatsoever

[@asherfrankel1515]

same with me, for some reason i dont really get sore on anything, even if im doing lateral raise dropsets to failure or everything to failure i wont get sore. To be fair I've been lifting for less than a year but i dont think that has to do with anything

[@danielmillward9947]

If you train a muscle more than once a week you'll never get sore the next day unless you incorporate a new movement angle

So much value in this series, I‘m sure I will rewatch some of these in years to come

I should tell you that internally rotating the shoulder can impinge the soft tissue of the shoulder.

I love these technique Tuesdays so much. They’re a great way to check myself on my form.

Egyptian lateral raise is my favourite to.tried these a month ago and you can really feel it in your side delts even on light weight.

[@thedalaidrama]

Jeff, the type of guy to work “shoenfeld and collegues” into a toast!

[@there-work3124]

I actually felt my side delts when I switch my grip to what you recommended

[@ianscott1969]

3 best exercises for capped delts: 1. Take tren 2. Take EQ 3. Up the tren

What are your thought on leaning forwards slightly and rotating the dumbbells externally to avoid impingement problems as shown by AthleanX?

[@LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL347]

isaac doty Fairs, think it’s more if you have impingement problems. I’ve been doing those since they feel more comfortable along with cable lateral raises. They definitely work and feel more comfortable, but that’s probs because I injured my shoulder playing rugby. But, yea I get what you mean with athleanX, best to try and see if his methods works for you. If not, then don’t do it and you get the benefit of not looking like an idiot 😅

@@isis22599 i disagree with you, as someone with a lot of shoulder issues due to a car accident, athlean x is a lifesaver when it comes to shoulder technique.

To people who feel pain in their elbows when performing this exercise, it is due to maintaining your wrist straight with a load which is too high: your forearm extensors put too much stress on your elbows joints. I found one way to fix that: put a towel on your forearm, attach a resistance band to your forearm and work unilaterally. By not tying the weight to your hand, you will entirely remove the extensors from the equation, hence the stress from your elbows. It feels so much better.

[@morskipaskenny]

Great video Jeff! I have a question about your other videos if that's okay. In your Push Pull Science Applied series, you tell us to do 4 sets of 12 - 15 reps of Triceps Pushdowns, but isn't that kind of a high rep range? Don't triceps respond better to heavier loads due to the higher ratio of Type 2 Muscle fibers? ( Same goes for biceps, as in the "Pull" workout we still do high rep isolation movements for the biceps ) Thanks man! :)
