I enjoyed that chat and like alot of what you said, but when talking about the shoulder press, though it's a great compound movement, it doesn't compare to the stimulus the lateral head receives from doing lat raises correctly. For all round growth presses are better and that's probably what you're getting at, but in terms of shoulders it mainly hits front delts. So talking specifically for shoulder growth, lateral raise is the primary lift for that outer head, there are many variations to choose from too (Lying sideways on bench, cables, side incline bench, supported etc). I wouldn't call it a supplementary movement for growing them caps.
that depends what your goals are. I'm not a bodybuilder and I don't coach bodybuilding. I train for strength and flexibility and try to build as much muscle as I can whilst doing so. I'd rarely, if ever use the lateral raise as a primary lift.
@@UnityGymOnline I get what you're saying, it's a fantastic approach, but I don't see how never prioritising side delts could be ideal for structural integrity... or would you say side delts don't affect this? The front delts are hit well with all pressing movements, and over developed front delts can cause the shoulders to be pushed forward and come out of alignment with the shoulder joint, which is why well developed rear delts are so important. I'm not sure how the side delts play a role in this, but as far as I'm aware muscular balance is very important since one muscle affects the other.
@@FroscoTraining everything you have said is correct. But I do things like dips, shoulder press, handstand push ups etc, in the same workout as side raises. Those are all compound movements that are very hard to produce good results in when fatigued. The lateral raise is not. And therefor it fits into my workouts as a supplementary exercise, or as the second exercise in super sets, or third exercise in tri sets etc.
Oh man, i just barely missed the livestream. 😑
I'll catch it next time.
no problem brother, thanks for all your support!
