Ranking Every Lateral Raise Exercise from BEST to WORST

Ranking 15 different ways to do the lateral raise exercise on a tier list based on the following criteria:
1. Lengthened focused - either by having peak resistance be in a more lengthened part of the range of motion OR allowing the side delts to be stretched during the exercise.
2. Stability - how easy is it to maintain balance and proper form, especially as you approach failure.
3. Ease of Progressive Overload - how convenient and to what increment are you able to increase resistance.
All exercises are ranked based on the potential to build muscle.
This is how you should interpret my tier list:
S tier - My favorite exercises, MUST try.
A tier - Highly recommended.
B tier - Decent options. Do them if convenient or limited on equipment.
C tier - Still viable, but do I recommend? Nope.
D tier - Would avoid.

Bro is in that Jeff Nippard phase🔥 really good video tho bro🙏

[@mocast3407]

Gonna need tier lists for every major muscle group now. Please, thanks

[@duy-baophan9115]

An alternative to your best exercise that I've been using is the seated behind the back cable lateral raise with the bench upright but the back of the seat is in front of you. You still get that stretch focused at hand height, you have more stability, and you can avoid cheating by focusing on keeping your head against the bench. I mainly do this to easily superset with seated cable flys.

[@Ro7770]

The excercise on 13:20 is so good! Also it is better to lay down and have your head touching the bench instead of letting it stick out like that, plant your feet, chest out, and the activation you will get on your side delts is unbeatable by any other exercise by a long shot.

[@carlodonn8983]

You don't even need a bench . I perform just fine on the floor with obviously low cabels attachment

[@benjaminbishop3989]

I think the biggest down side to your crowned king is set up time. For someone like me who trains for health and general quality of life I am willing to make some small compromises if it means I can be more time efficient in the gym. In any event, I greatly appreciate this video. I have been having some pain in my left wrist during my dumbbell lateral raises and was looking for a variation that didn't put strain on my them since my gym doesn't have an isolation machine. I'm still pretty new to working out in a gym (I started in a CrossFit box) and didn't think to use the cable machine.

[@AvielLevy]

Lemme tell you that the lying bench variation is actually a solid s++ Seriously never had any other exercise which I could connect to my delts all the way from an extremely stretched position.

[@SpaceStrike]

Yo def make more science based videos like this!

[@nomercy8989]

I did those athleanx bodyweight laterals back in the day. It's an awful exercise and the injury risk is insanely high. I dislocated my shoulder doing these. I actually fucked up my shoulders 2x thanks to athleanx. No wonder he started to do face pulls later on. He probably fucked him self up as well

[@juanmadeus]

Epic! Want your tierlist about Back (traps, lats and lower back) Thank you! You helped me a lot 💪🏼

[@thienbao1457]

Ignoring some hated comments bro, this type of ranking have had a long time ago, your videos are awsome and helpful❤

[@neurohan]

I think standard lateral dumbbell raises are perfectly fine for side delts as long as you perform your repetitions with control and maybe angle yourself forward slightly. They're really small muscles so you can't lift much weight with them anyway. They'll get plenty of stimulus just from the top 80-85% of the ROM (in my opinion/experience). And plus, I find it harder to feel the neuromuscular connection when I do lateral raises with a cable, since the curved movement path doesn't align well with the linear action of the cable. Just feels awkward.

[@hanlosingit]

I am fat and awkward so I go to the gym at 10pm where there's like 30% occupancy. Thanks for the #15 Lying Cable Lateral Raise though, will try it next Friday since that's my Shoulder/Arms day.

[@schmumlauf]

Reporting back on the lying lateral cable raise, this is amazing

[@juanordonez5667]

Thanks for the vid, i really struggle hitting these damn side delts

[@DoopySoupy]

Bro have you actually ever seen anyone use a curl bar for this? Kinda a ridiculous one to add in there

I’ll be honest, I have

[@ericabraham5407]

[@peacefroge3517]

I think he just wanted to clarify for beginners, who may not be sure of the difference between dumbells and a bar for that movement

[@tyler-path]

[@arzos2603]

i train at 11pm but im still introverted and even at night u aint catching me doing that #1 excercise even if they are only a handful of people 🥺

[@bestplayer6341]

I don’t mean to sound harsh, but if you are worried about things like that, then you won’t be able to grow that muscle to the best of its ability (if it’s the best exercise). There are some exercises that I think look weird, that I still do, and a number of people do the same exercises.

[@JoeGX460]

As a bowflex owner, many shoulders cable exercises can be done with this equipment.

[@SpaceStrike]

Do triceps next!

Then Jeff nippard stole it too. Because these rankings are everywhere....

[@basilez]

My pick lately is the leaning DB lateral raise. Idk why, but I feel it more

[@Shuman777]

In my opinion the upright row works the traps more than the delts. I find that its a great exercise. To each their own i suppose..

[@ajinkyaingle16]

Sir Make a Leg Exercise best to worst ❤✨

[@Relatable_444]

i have needed this video my entire life btw how would you recommend dealing with muscle imbalance one of my lats is bigger then the other

[@tyler-path]

First choice: perform exercises unilaterally Second choice: choose iso-lateral variations

[@RZ_2K]

Use the lat pulldown machine, not the standard cable. Do it one arm with a stretch at the top and do a few more reps with the smaller lat arm

[@peacefroge3517]

​@@RZ_2Kthats my favorite!!! So goooood

[@Relatable_444]

@@RZ_2K I wish that what I was going to do but my gym got rid of the lat pulldown and row machine

[@RZ_2K]

@@Relatable_444 sucks when gyms do that. In that case you can do what Tyler said by doing a standard pulldown but as you get to the bottom lean in towards the smaller side to emphasise that one. Or replace the bar with a handle and perform it like that

[@rensvanderhoeven9440]

Try using chest support on the behind-the-back cable lateral raise, it doesn't look as weird as the lying one and makes it easily the top exercise.

[@tyler-path]

onto something here...

[@HKG432]

Why is getting the traps involved a bad idea? It just builds your traps and shoulders Make you look better!

[@austa1904]

I just found out that I'm also half Thai. My brother weighs 61 kilograms. And how high is it?

[@ginger2114]

8:40 what do you think about doing this on a flat bench or low incline, would it add more tension at the stretched position or would the resistance be too low everywhere else?

[@BboyDschafar]

Best is machine. Also consider, that focussing on the lengthened part of the excercise puts you at risk of rotator cuff injuries.

[@74_pelicans]

Why is the low cable raise @10:25 and the cable Y raise at 11:53 shortened/mid range biased? Shouldn't cables provide uniform resistance? Thanks! PS could you do one such for biceps?

[@thechuches3879]

Because of the descomposition of forces, you get the maximun tension when the cable and your arm at at 90 degress

luv how u blur the girls and not the guys. speaks volumes 😂

the best lateral exercise🔥

[@OgGlockLoc]

8:17 brother u have gone absolutely insane with this . . . first of all i wanna mention my experience with the normal side later raise (the v shape thing u did before) i think its absolutely awful, tried 3 sets, no pump, no burn, no nothing. but the bent arms one actually gets me a pump in the right direction and idk what ur on about with the bicep activation because if u do it right it literally doesnt activate a single cell in ur biceps bro . . . . . . . . . . . . arms being bent doesnt mean ur activating ur biceps, in fact ur literally not even curling it bro . . . . . . very false information by u
