How To Dumbbell Lateral Raise - The Right Way! (BIG SHOULDERS!)

  • The Dumbbell Lateral Raise is one of the most commonly used exercises to target the “side” delt. People often perform this movement wrong and don’t hit their delts at all! Today we are going to show you the proper way to perform the movement and an added improvement.
    Set-Up:
    - Start with a lightweight! It’s normal to not be able to do a lot of weight due to the level length
    - Start out to the side
    - The reason we don’t like starting out with the dumbbells up front is that we could potentially use hip extension to lift the weight.
    - Unlock elbows
    - Think that you are pushing your hands upwards to the ceiling
    - Don’t throw the weight up, make sure you are using the deltoids
    - Also, try and engage your lats, helps you be more stable
    The Machine Lateral Raise is a great way to increase the potential of the lateral raise! When you have a machine with the chest support you have more stability and you can contract your shoulder muscles harder.

    The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.

    An outstretched dumbbell lateral raise doesn't require less torque (aka "moment") than the machine. The longer lever arm means less weight is needed to produce the same resistance to be overcome (moment = weight x distance from center). So you still get the same workout with lateral raises as with the machine. Stability is definitely better with the machine, of course.

    good video and explanation. 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.

    There's no such thing as a "medial" deltoid. Medial means towards the midline of the body.
    The delts run away from the midline of the body and are on the outside of the body, so the opposite term "lateral" should be used

    The good machine are often little bit lighter in the higer and top level, that is keeping many bodybuilders from swinging big dumbells to lift proper, a tip from me would be to avoid the handgrip, just feel the preasure on your elbow and work up max pump in your shoulders👍🏻

    The key is to have proper mind to muscle connection. If you learn how to stop the traps from doing all the work and activate only the delts, you will do some work. It's hard though because naturally you want to use all the muscle available when you're lifting stuff. And don't life heavy. You will snap some shit, not only in your shoulder but on the neck as well.

      Mind muscle connection is the key🔥. Practicing it is the only way

    I've been told that elbows should be above wrist at the top of the movement or have I been misled?

      A degree of internal rotation could allow this - it really is dependant on the individuals anatomy. That can work for some.
