I think Jeremy mentioned this briefly, but thinking about raising the dumbbells OUTWARD instead of only upward has really helped me focus on my side delts better while minimizing trapz use. Try it while doing Step 1 in this video! I'm interested to see if it helped others or not.

I've been lifting weights for 25 years, but have never been able to achieve much side delt soreness or growth. Thanks to this video, I went down to 10 pound dumbbells from 25 or 30 I used before, tried to keep my traps loose and shoulders down. For the first time in at least 5 years, I actually am sore in the muscle belly of my side delt. My side delta are pumped, and I have no shoulder pain either. Thank You very much. It's unbelievable that these little changes in technique make such a difference.

This is legit freakin genius, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, but now that I naturally did lateral raises, this is def what I was doing wrong. THANKS JEREMY!!!

[@robertbruce5213]

Jeremy, thank you for this. What is most helpful to me since I am so visual, is that you show diagrammatic progression with animation so I can picture exactly what you’re talking about. And you run it at a slow speed so I can see the traps contracting. This is my biggest problem. I’ve tried other method, but none are as clear or produce results as well as yours. I can already see the difference. I was also pleased to see you recommending a 45° angle forearm position (as opposed straight-out position from your side) for the lift. This gives you much more control and is more natural for the human anatomy. Also better for your shoulder joints! Thank you so much

[@jimmy5634]

All of this works. Most people would be surprised how quickly the side delts will respond to these recommendations. It’s not about the amount of weight, it’s about isolation and constant tension. The side delt is a small muscle and can only grow when you do that. I train my delts three times a week, usually at the end of my regular workout.

Thanks Jeremy. Your explanation are very clear compares to some fitness youtubers that I know. Thank you again, from one of your thousand subscribers in the Philippines.

[@MrMikkiFunk]

Great tips! You're so right, it's all about the execution. Dropping the weight and doing it with great form instead of swinging a high weight up with momentum. I find it really helps to lean over a little to make sure the side delt is facing 'up' as much as possible and turn your thumbs out/ up a little so they're higher than your pinky - again, helping to make the side delt face up as much as possible. To eliminate the traps coming into it I find it works well to pin your scapula back at the start of the movement and make sure your shoulders are pulled back as far as possible. Always helps to do this for every rep as well-reset, if you will. As the reps get harder I always find my shoulders creeping forward to allow my traps to interfere.

That cable one lying down was good I try that this week for sure ,. Traps are a focus area for me

[@ryptoll4801]

This was actually one of the most difficult exercises for me to learn. First going too strictly to the side, then not going high enough, tilting my wrists, involving my arm muscles too much, and involving my traps too much. I had to do a lot of mind-muscle connection to get the lateral raise exercise to actually target my delts. My shoulders are actually growing, but I wasn't sure why, so I watched this video to see what I'm doing right. And I think maybe it's that I spent a ton of effort into getting my lateral raises to do what they're supposed to do.

Thanks for the great videos. I really struggle to engage my chest when bench pressing; I feel it a lot in my shoulders but almost never on my chest.

[@monsoon1174]

Personally, these tips are like trying to benchpress without using your triceps. Instead of focusing on isolating the chest, I think most people do better with simply increasing weight overtime in bench press. That same logic applies for lateral raises. For me, I've found that simply treating this like a compound lift, one that emphasizes both the upper traps AND middle delts, works best. Just my two cents.
