No one cares

[@XXXDomtacion]

@@baswold7979exactly it’s so annoying. I’m seeing these comments pop up on EVERY SINGLE FUCKING VIDEO that’s at least FIVE years old, even the most unpopular videos.

[@mizG1nonly]

I just love her. Everytime Im not sure how to do a workout I check her out. Always informative, very knowledgable and professional.

[@user-hz5zu1rb7o]

If you do laterals how she told you your gonna damage your shoulders

[@bodybybob2287]

Yes 70, you are correct...I actually damaged my shoulder and got shoulder impingement from watching this video years ago.

[@Wendyraeful]

Same❤❤❤

[@VivekSingh-on7ri]

❤

[@brightifrit]

I guess a lot of guys commenting on this video must be very insecure with themselves, if they feel they have to make fun of strong women. I thought the video was great. I'm glad she explained details on form. It's so easy to hurt yourself if you do this sort of thing wrong.

[@bilross]

Maybe they have a reason to be insecure. If you catch my drift!

[@Marcus.SweetVanilla]

I love it how you say that and l scroll down to not see a single negative comment.

[@Melveli]

She's not natural, look at big natural female bodybuilders and you'll see

[@louisjablowski2587]

you're speaking the God's honest truth! Every time a woman does a workout video she's either vilified or objectified by a few, or more, gross men!!

[@user-jr7cx9zm1e]

I just had a scroll down and couldn't find any.

[@ADRIAN-fb9xj]

My ex wife was a fitness trainer 30 years ago and she worked out a program for me and these were part of it. I haven't done these for 25 years. Michelle makes it look so easy! She's a Strong Girl. I'll be starting with 5 reps.....

[@BraydenMicheal-xz3sl]

Me too lmao

[@R3TROSKULL]

No way same here

[@codymorrison8786]

These videos are so helpful! I've watched tons of them to incorporate new exercises into my routine. Thanks guys!

[@sabanangel]

How good is Michelle explaining the correct way to do the exercises ... All the elements of her speech are perfect

[@katiedonald6253]

Finally a video with clear instruction and straight to the point. 🙌

[@RanaRana-lo2iw]

She is the best really I love the way she simplifies the exercise and explains it so clearly 👍👍♥️

[@YouTube4me]

quick , simple and easy to understand Thank You Michelle!!!

[@WillyEast]

These videos are still one of the most informative. Thank-you.

[@anannyapaliwal5245]

She is incredible. As a beginner in fitness, her videos are extremely helpful

Thank you for all your videos! You are really helpful! Thank youuuuu!!!

[@carntspell]

great job, clear and concise. Michelle - you`re hired.

[@bonybackbailey]

I must say, a very good explanation. Much obliged!

[@Slagstripes]

Clear and concise, great video ❤

[@steveh88]

I really, really, really like her videos. I am putting together a program for a girl at work and I'm adding links to all the exercises so she'll know what I'm talking about. This girl teachers PERFECT form. Anybody that is watching should follow her instructions to the letter.

[@rubickscube6666]

Her videos are super helpful!

[@grekat]

this training is amazing!!

[@TriggerHaPpiiee]

form is on point every time.

[@johng5295]

Thanks in a million.Great content.

[@PabloDeLaNoche]

Very clear instructions, thanks!

[@fiercey]

good teacher, great form.

[@evaldasilginis3119]

The best explanation how to do this exercise on the KZbin. Merci beaucoup.

[@cbhalpin]

Excellent video - not all about weight but form

[@Itachi.79]

Thanks for perfect explanation

[@WHEREtheFUNK]

good refresher on these

[@mouradebagui1691]

*So easy to use and so convenient! Awesome in space saving. However, due to its adjustable weight design, the length of the dumbell is always the same regardless of weight. (I.e. a regular 25 lbs dumbell is longer than a 10 lbs dumbell). But that really not a reason to shy away. Also kinda expensive.... but!!! Overall quality **bestgym.equipment** and ease of use and storage, you cant ask for a better dumbell.*

[@MichaelThompson-iu5fl]

Perfect form

[@mohamadebrahimi4133]

Thank you so much

[@Avel_runner]

nice advices about shoulder injuries!

[@atozbodyfitness6311]

good video. It's important people realize they need to think about moving up and away so that they can activate their delts more. also keeping their traps disengaged while doing it as well. as you bring up your arms to also stick your chest ur as well so that you can allow the delts to activate better. but also to know that you should bring the pinkies higher. causes impingement overtime. i mean if there raised slightly higher than the front its fine but you really shouldn't rotate them inwards cause it will eventually cause impingement.

[@TheVerytiredPerson]

If you bend the elbow all that happens is you lower the chance for tendonitis. Doing it with elbows bent making a right triangle takes away medial delt tension while elbows locked increase risk of injury. Therefore have the elbow bent, use good form, and try to do reps in the 10-15 area since the medial deltoids in most cases are comprised of slow twitch fibers.

[@joshuawelch3294]

Thank you good video

[@malinaaguirre1838]

Thank you for explaining most of these are videos with no audio.

[@louisemcgee5986]

Thank you for showing proper form!

[@Ronitbroy]

A coach who knows coaching! 🎉

[@stuartdamon3610]

Thank you!

[@lorddiosliving]

i always swing up arms like that to gain speed when I raise the dumbe !! nevewr knew it could make a shoulder injury

[@tinab5463]

Thank you.

[@Alive4Metal]

@highresvid so true, i do seated ones as a "burn" set, meaning I still have a few reps on my shoulder so I lower the weight and just start pumping out reps with a lighter dumbell while seated, you get crazzzzzzy shoulder pumps doing this after a heavy working set

[@silverbirdie]

Okay I was doing these all wrong. Good vid!

[@were9213]

thank you,

[@anandagrawal5162]

good exercies

[@angie1412]

Thanks for the video and you look amazing!!!

[@jon-ue6rf]

Got to love the fitness industry, full of very clever people who know best......

[@VinayKumar-rg9fg]

Thanks

[@ncmathsadist]

Use an overhand grip (thumb on top of weight) to maximize shoulder benefit.

[@ruphz]

Okay, pal, will do...

[@timmehh89]

My dad taught me to do this exercise slightly different. As I raise dumbbell I tilt it as if I was pouring a jug of water, instead of keeping it parallel with the floor. I find that it is bit harder this way and prevents my wrists raising above my elbows.

[@bodybybob2287]

timmehh89 you get shoulder impingement this way :( Dont do the water pouring or pinky raise. I can explain or you can watch physical therapist ATHLEAN-X explain why. I got impingement from watching her video years ago.

[@s1kb45trd]

can you show how to do proper form for front lat raises please? does the same logic apply there too (start with light weights)?

[@Youtuber-nv9ut]

I need her as my personal trainer

[@fliptopsbattle]

what is the difference of side lat dumbell raises and side arm raises?

[@SteveMariniF]

YES MAAM !!!

[@veganize1]

Just great, but it would be good to see it done with the breath also. Like exhale as you raise the bells, etc. Love it though.

[@selenadiaz9961]

Wow thank you so much for this! You explained it better than the guy lol

[@andrewbennett1983]

Thanks, Wonder Woman.

[@nagpurfightclub5662]

she is awesome

[@Exoamylase]

I got a great workout just by watching this video.... thank's.

[@user-ms1gx8rl9b]

My problem is that I feel it in my neck... but im only using 1kg-2 kg. Any tips?

[@sinfuldavy0]

What is the difference between this and the seated lateral raises?

[@rayvincyful1]

The pinky doesnt need to be higher than the thumb. Some actually do this with thumbs up and they are the same(or almost the same).

[@AssumptionEmpty]

Killer body. :) Definitely would.

[@pali4life48]

@Salvat1onHD ikr

[@jamesjames9193]

0:34

[@evanender]

should your arms be in line with your body? or slighty forward....

[@RBNK157]

bad explnation when doing internal rotation at shoulder joint you put yourself at risk of an injury because there is no space in the shoulder joint which is ball and socket . this can cause you the impingement syndrom.

[@bodybybob2287]

Roi Rabinek I actually got Shoulder impingement from watching this exact video years ago and raising pinkies :(

[@FunFitandWell]

i love her!!! :)

[@trnj467]

Any one know why too much pain in lower back after this exercise ?

[@WarrivarNeo]

@matisska thats how i like, RAWR!

[@Awsomekeyaabored]

She’s jacked!

[@farahnazyargholi2010]

Is it possible for you to write a program for me?

[@smackedinthejaw]

@Teenssj2 Looks like her hat fell off when she was doing strict form barbell row

[@mddistribution30]

I found that lat raises are a bit harder than other dumb bell exercises. I can manage 10 kilos on each arm for hammer curls and shoulder presses but lat raises I found I could only do 7.5kg to start with

[@francinelarsen2143]

Are your elbows bent at all?

[@conor-_C]

this is the hardest one to do

[@bigpagla]

Lateral raises are soooo humbling. You could be pushing crazy weight with other muscle groups. I made the same mistake she referred to in my early 20's, too much weight. It was ineffective.

[@Valiumhotel]

Sick! I love her.

[@ShivamMishra13]

What wt are you holding

[@Live2die777]

Better to have some external rotation

[@alexanabolic5099]

Shoulder internal rotation is high here

[@johnbmw550i]

This girl is lovely, good form.

[@sevenpaulperalta929]

Is this Lance Armstrong's channel?

[@bodybybob2287]

DON'T PRETEND TO POUR WATER...OR RAISE PINKIES!!! I've been looking for this video. Years ago I watched it and now I have SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT. :( Watch Physical Therapist ATHLEAN-X explain why it's wrong or I can.

[@MrZimmerbob]

This comment needs more upvotes. The "pinkies up" or "pouring the pitcher" cue for lateral raises is probably the most widespread and dangerous training tip around.

[@caitlinmarley8030]

Jeff is the man. I've had a bad shoulder injury as well, 4 tears to be exact. Partly softball to blame, but partly these people who give newcomers wrong information.

[@marym.8608]

Just watched his video and remembered she said the opposite! Came to verify that she did and see if anyone countered it. I love athlean-x!

[@bmof0223]

it causes internal rotation of the humeral head which can lead to compression of the ligaments/muscles. I wouldn't recommend pinkies up.

[@jimmiejH]

DEM BICEPS

[@alldayeveryday20able]

Are those 10 pound dumbbells?

[@starscream5424]

She's doing it wrong. Your thumb has to be higher the then the pinky, bend your arms a little bit and leane forward a little bit to.

[@EvaSlash]

Would berry

[@VivekSharma-ux2bl]

If bicep is pointing upward, won't it work more of anterior delt? This feels definitely more comfortable tho as lateral raises with bicep pointing forward causes a bit of pain to me

[@chetankadam3331]

Thats a wrong explanation. For lateral raises the hands work as a hook, just for holding the weights. This exercise is done by concentrating on lifting the elbows and not the hands. So when you perform the lateral raises the position of elbows will be higher than that of hands holding the weight. If the position of hands goes higher than elbows than you are basically not targeting the medial head.

[@bodybybob2287]

This video is what caused me to go to the Doctors for shoulder Impingement. Hopefully nobody else is following her instructions and raising pinkies.

[@wwescorpionx]

And here it is, the exercise i most hate in bodybuilding.

[@dineshvah4992]

Pinky needs to be below, or else you can get internally rotated shoulders, get injury: see Jeff Cavelier for explanation

[@Captain.Pugwash]

Michelle Trapp(s) :-) Indeed she looks damn strong for a girl.

[@danielamon6978]

I realize this is a 14 year old video, but the middle head of the deltoid is the lateral head, not the medial. In anatomy, “medial” means “closer to the midline,” and the middle head is the farthest from the midline, hence “lateral.”

[@pqrxyc2089]

She's on the gear

[@astroegg]

.....pinky a little higher ~ I like her =), she has good form and precise with her video tutorials -plus she is beautiful !

[@MrMikomi]

Oooh, lovely.

[@SnuffDizz]

executioner traps

[@SE164LYF]

That's not how to do a lateral raise. There should be a slight bend in the elbow and the movement should not be all the way up all the way down. You should raise the dumbell below your shoulder and then lower just before the hips so there is tension there. She is lowering all the down which is resting.

[@hornplayz8968]

Its preference.. if you use heavier wait you cant have constant tension
