Don't Do Lateral Raises Like This ❌
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Lateral raises are a solid side delt exercise to build bigger shoulders, but there are many small form cues to pay attention to when it comes to proper lateral raise form during shoulder workouts. When performing this shoulder exercise, make sure your elbows aren't completely locked out (reduces lateral deltoid output and is less effective to build shoulder muscle) or overly bent either (takes the resistance out of alignment with the side delts - not ideal to get that 3D delt look you're after). Instead, just keep a slight bend in your elbow, lean forward a bit, and raise the dumbbells up into the scapular plane. This applies whether it's a dumbbell lateral raise or cable lateral raise. This will give you the best deltoid workout possible on this deltoid exercise.

Spot on been smashing gym for years but still learn new stuff of you fantastic
Typical example on how u just need to master the basics first instead of following fancy exercises on the internet. Love you man
Quick qesh does the temperature of showering make a difference?
@@howieroloff5645 hot water helps breakdown the lactic acid build up in your muscles and helps with the soreness. Cold showers help tighten your skin. Your preference really.
@@full-time_antihero huh thanks
Needed this. There is ALOT misinformation regarding this workout and caused me to tweak my shoulder. Thank you for consistently promoting no bs fitness Sean!
Insane how i was just searching Lateral raises just now, i ve been doing Lu Raises for the past 6 months and really like them but i am thinking of switching back to normal ones, so i was searching about them (watching Jeff Nippard video) and this popped out on my notifications, cool
any significant benefits of Lu raises?
@@vreytee I believe rotator cuff health and strength
Lu raises build some overhead strength specific to Oly weightlifting and some scapular muscle activation like maybe some traps at the top as well maybe a bit more than just stopping lateral raises parallel with the floor.
Praise the algorithm
@@vreytee there is good shoulder activation for more muscles
You’re my hero. I’m a PTA and have worked out for a long time. I love all the bro science and garbage I see in the gym and on social media. Makes my head hurt. Hearing someone like you with some exercise phys and kinesiology restores my hope hahaha. Thank you for keeping it real sir!
Thanks Sean 👌👌👌
I literally did lateral raises today. It’s hit and miss for me 😔 I know it’s very important! It’s also the one exercise where some sessions I feel it and some sessions I don’t. With cables I do typically feel it working but then sometimes it gets my traps.
It’s frustrating because my medial delts are lagging. I will persist though.
overhead press 2x a week
@@RareTS horrible horrible advice lol get off the internet
@@germanrud9904 why is that horrible advice
@@marlborordeci because it's not an exercise that focuses on the medial head lol plus the front head is almost always being worked, although i do agree that shoulders should be trained at least twice a week for them to actually grow
I'm glad im not the only one who feels this way about the exercise. Sometimes I just don't feel a good contraction.
After having to cut off traditional lateral raises for years after shoulder impingement, I am able to do these pain free now!! Thank you!! 🙏
Wow this actually helps me, I've been making the second mistake 🤦
prefect timing was gonna look for a video about lateral raises ty sir much love
Wow I was naturally bending already and I thought it was wrong, thanks for reassuring me, I thought it felt like too much stress on my elbows to have my arms be straight.
I've noticed if straighten ur arm n hold it for a like 3 seconds u build up great tensile strength and Ive realised I don't shake until the fatigue builds. Ur forearms stay ripped as fuck aswell once ur grip strength is enough. X
Shut up
@@user-hi7ic3zy6k no u
@@atlin5061 insightful
Had a bad muscle pop in shoulder doing this exercise -bringing movement into scapular plane totally fixed it. 🙏
Omg that's why it feels off. I was leaning back chest out and my arms are straight af. Thanks
As someone who recently started going to the gym seriously, I appreciate that this video quickly tells me what I could be doing wrong and what I should do. Thank you.
Sean, I have watched many of your videos and just want to say thank you sincerely for these quick concise videos.
Great video. Minor adjustments make major differences.
I've seen a lot of your videos now and started off real skeptical. I can't deny your tips have genuinely helped me, and I respect you. Thank you man
the best exercise for shoulders
Also keep thumbs slightly up to avoid damaging rotator cuffs over time.. See Jeff Cavalier
My man. Not pouring the pitcher of water! Jeff is goat
Huge shoulders especially considering his narrow clavicular distsnce
Another tip.
Before raising the arms imagine them sneaking under and then up. To maximize load on the shoulder not the traps.
Hope it makes sense.
Sean is a GOAT. Love the channel bro, completely transparent, honest and natural!! 💯
The second McNasty said “I am unloved.” at 10:01 I got an ad for Bumble lmao
Also remember never to pour the pitcher at the top. Going even at the top with dumbbells can be stressful on shoulder too, so try to do a slight tilt backwards.
This guy know what he's talking about loads of gains to come with all you tips
New subscriber here! I love your shorts! It’s straight to the point , no talking or whatsoever!
I like hanging off of a pillar or rack with one hand and leaning forward a bit to really isolate the lateral delt. It takes longer but in the last 6 months I've made a lot of progress in terms of strength and size of my side delts doing it that way
You've helped me out tremendously with your videos. Thanks a million.
A better tip is stick to machine or cable lat raises over the dumbbell version. The difference you'll see in gains is pretty astounding, and I even prefer free weights most of the time.
If you don't have access to those though, by all means, dumbbell lat raises are sufficient enough. But if you do have them in your gym, try it.
I find the crisscrossing of the cable version created unsymmetricsl movement due to the cables criss crossing
The machine my gym has sucks
@@remcorutten4270 so like a reverse incline bench so its chest suported then do cross lateral raises with the cables?
Thanks, I needed this 👍
The best advice
IMO this is in fact what feel most natural! I suspect that, except for the leaning forward bit, it is what most people would do if they just relaxed and tried to lift the wheight laterally in a way that feels more comfortable. Thanks for the great information!
I do these, except I do a single arm at a time. I found it easier to keep my form in check
Lateral raises are the hardest to do for me for some reason
I’m glad to know that I never do this exercise wrong, or at all.
Good video! This helped
Basic side laterals has evolved... it used to be straight arm locked out joints... that is so outdated... bent wrists and elbows are needed... forward lean gets the rear side delts.... conversely the rearward lean gets the front side delts!
Straight arm is still the best. It just gets a bad rep because noobs get injured doing it. Same story with deads, squats, barbell front raises.. etc. Noobs with terrible mobility and 0 gpp try to jump into bodybuilding exersizes and then call exersizes unsafe. Yawn.
Thank you for this!
Thank you Sean!
Next video: Lateral raises are Killing your gains
Only if you do them like Dylan McKnight
L comment
low iq comment
@@abdulmueedsaleh2007 kid found a new word to spsm
Getting gains are killing your gains
Thanks for this. I’ve been keeping my arms completely straight and was wondering why my elbow was sore lol
I was in fact doing this mistake, thx
Timing is always perfect lol. Going to hit shoulders today
Thank u for all your knowledge brother i appreciate you
I’m so glad I’ve been doing this naturally
glad to know i've been doing that one right
I appreciate you every day more. Thanks for the great advice!
Leaning forward was the game changer for me. My shoulders clicked and burned doing it upright.
Thanks, needed this
It's called "KILLING YOUR GAINS"
Slight bend and leaning forward a bit kill gains?
Leaning forward actually forces middle delts to do all the work.
@@UltraCasualPenguin no I meant "limiting your gains" is called "killing your gains"
i did this without weights and i still feel the burn... crazy !
Nice arms Chris! 17-18” now ?!
What about thumbs aimed at the ceiling? Is that not really an issue? Genuinely asking as a question because I don’t know.
Wow.. Very effective...
Wow the algorithm showed me this after i commented yay shoulders. Yay this guys’ youtube! ❤
Man this is best variation .... I tried it yesterday and felt fire on my side delts, till yesterday i was doing the incline bech supported lateral raise that too felt great....
For me best variation is this one and one i explained
Thank you!
Damn I\m in the middle of a shoulder work out and felt stuff on my elbow area lmfao, tysm man ur a g
Not bad but not fully good. Nice job u r doing btw!!!
Every time I do lateral raises like this a random guy comes up to me and says I'm doing it wrong, and gives me "pour the pitcher" advice -_-
An incline bench set to nearly vertical (70 degrees or so) can help set the forward lean. It can also add a little stability, good for heavy partials.
forget about scapula plan because its ball and socket synovial joint and it dosn't matter wich plan you will follow,straight arm is better acording to 3rd class lever as the load won't be heavy to affect elbow joint or its muscle
I started going to the gym around 6 months ago. Learning proper form for exercises feels like rocket science to me. 😂
Bros such a robot he doesn’t even blink
Good stuff
Hello Guys can you pls give me what exercises to do to each delts (front, side, rear) thanks ❤️
I think it's the most dangerous shoulder excercise, very easy to cause injury with the best attempt at good form.
I’m 14 years old and I am struggling to find a good fitness plan for weight training, some tips would be great.
Keep up the great vids
Thank you sooo muchhh
Mark Zuckerberg is doing side quests now
This is such a simple exercise but i have always struggle in learning proper form somehow 😂😂
What about standing lat raises Sean?
I like your fitness advices, it's nothing fancy but it's probably the most helpful that actually works. Could you suggest some non equipment/gym workouts? It would really help man
He has an entire playlist in his main channel for home workouts 👍
@@user-zk4dv2nx8k thanks bro
As usual it's pretty useful.
I rotate my thumbs upward at the top
Feels better on shoulders and no tennis elbow inflamation
Scaption plane* between the sagittal and frontal
I do them as you say, but when i can't do anymore, i bend my arms at a 90 degree angle to get the last bit of strength out. Trust me, you will feel great after
I thought i was boutta get called out but it turns out i been doin them right the whole time
does it make a difference to be seated or to be standing up?
I have the same questions. I always performed them standing up. In fact I tend to perform as many exercise as I can standing up for more core involvement and functionality, but specialy L raises which typicaly involve low weights
Could you explain how this would apply if you're using a lateral raise machine instead of dumbells?
It also comes naturally, if you do it right, your arms kind of lock into place.
Was hitting these today pinched a nerve in neck what am I doing wrong?
Does doing it standing or sitting matter? Its just preference right?
Yes, but generally speaking sitting is a bit more difficult.
I’ve never seen this account before but I was looking up that trend on shorts that’s been going around on why a lot of people can’t push heavier weight on lag raises, I was NOT expecting fuckin Captain America at the end for a channel promo😭
when will your preworkout be in stock again
Why does the dumbbells needs to be raised in the scapular plane ? Why can’t they just be raised right to the side ?
should you bend the same way with front raises?
What your thoughts about Jeff cavaliere's way of lateral raises pinches up?
AND, if you want to keep tension on the middle delts during the whole exercise, do not bring your arms back all the way down by your sides.
Why lean forward and bring the arms in the scapular plane, what if I just sit upright and keep my arms right next to me? I feel it way more in my side delts..
Can you explain this please
I always have clicking in my shoulder when I do this ?
In my gym, they are all doing #2 and they are using their hips so their whole body are going up and down. A few people corrected me when I was doing the right form. I taught some newbies how to do the right form but the next week they are already doing #2. I only see a few people doing the right form.
I just hyper extend my elbows. Range of motion for max gains
i think the biggest issue people have with lat raises is having internally rotated shoulders from weak supporting muscles or impingement. this was my issue at least, and i've heard so many people with the same symptoms. if you can't push your shoulders out and reach your arms to the extent of your joint rom then you cant do lat raises right.
Is this works on upper traps s well? And can I do it standing up instead?
I've been doing them right. My "gym partner" got weird when I could shoulder press more than him. Snatching weights out of my hands mid lifts and brow beaten me into doing straight arm lateral raises. It's been a week since I've been in the gym because upper back sprains and extreme pain. I'm never lifting with him again.
Sean, could you review Delta Bolic?
when doing lateral raise is it important to tuck down scapular and pinch together through the entire movmen?+
Going parallel causes impingement
i feel this more in my front delts
Your previous vid on lateral raises said to try and push the weights away from the body. Can't do both at once. 🙃
0:17 #2 Isn't this like the lateral raise machine? So is this machine bad aswell?
lateral raise machines place the resistance right around/above the elbow joint area so in that case its perfectly alright
No because the issue here is path of the weight resistance. When you use the seated machine it is directing the resistance where it needs to be against your side delts contraction, regardless of any bend in your elbows. It is almost like having a dumbbell strapped to your upper arm. If you are performing raises with dumbbells in your hands, then bending your elbows too much puts the weight out in front of you which messes up the path of resistance.
Thank you guys
Or just do lateral raising standing up so you don’t have to worry about the angle of your torso
If you're standing up, it still preferable to lean foward
