�� CLICK THAT NOTIFICATION BELL SO YOU NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD!
Make sure you are engaging your medial deltoid with this exercise as much as possible use proper form to eliminate the involvment of the other heads!
Danny, it’s time to set up your own channel, also your Instagram link in the video description isn’t working.
I hope that I am doing them the right way. I am not sure if I am pinching my back muscles together but it kills my shoulders anyway.
Very efficient vid… Short lesson, everything I wanted to learn. Nice one!
Is it normal for a woman to have weak shoulders muscles, im starting with 6lbs dumbbells.
You have the best intro ever. Please change your new intro back to this one!
This method is bad for your shoulders! Watch Athlean-X video about it, he shows you how and why to do it with a slight forward lean (to save your shoulder joints, basically)
It is completely pointless to lean away when doing cable raises. The whole point of the lean away while using dumbbells is to move the resistance curve further up (to a higher arm position). But when using cables the resistance is constant, therefore the lean away doesn’t change anything.
Giving me Jason Statham vibes, I LOVE IT! You’re super handsome!
I finally found a channel where I can watch the videos over and over, and the speaker isn’t obnoxious yet you know what you’re talking about.
New Sub! Thank you so much, I am excited to take my workouts to the next level!
Shit form your begging to tear your ligaments and impinge your shoulder please refer to ATHLEAN X video on correct form if you respect your anatomy
Michelle Trapp(s):-) Indeed she looks damn strong for a girl.
For a few seconds I thought I was watching a safety video for work. LOL!
Guys can anyone help me? When i am doing side laterals raise my elbow are feeling uncomfortable, with a lot of pressure. Especially when I am going heavier. My arms aren’t locked out, they r bend just fine.
Thought side lateral raise targets the side not the rear,but then again what do I know
These videos are so helpful! I’ve watched tons of them to incorporate new exercises into my routine. Thanks guys!
i was doing those and i thought w8 am i doing em wrong? I thought should i be holding the dumbbells verticly instead of hirizontaly and i guess not BUT i learned about the shoulder blades part so thx.
athlean x has a different way of doing this involves leaning a bit forward and having your thumbs pointing about 45 degrees away from the ceiling (thumbs pointing up and forward). apparently its supposed to be better? search the video
I don’t want to get mixed up with a steam engine in the gym ;D Otherwise good video
It’s fair to say your production values have increased over the years!
Your intro music is pure shite. Change it.
Edit 1: I just seen the top comment LOL
Edit 2: watched the whole video that music at the end is pure shite. Change it.
Hey Scott? Whenever I do lateral raises, I feel the tendon in my left shoulder, under the medial delt, snapping over something. Think of a guitar string being plucked by a guitar pic. I’m pretty sure stretching is going to cure that but I swear I just can’t seem to find a stretch that targets it and loosens it up. Do you know of any good stretch names I could look up?
it does’nt seem benificial for scapulohumeral rhythm to keep your scaps pinched together looking for atleast 30 deg upward rotation
Yay! Mind muscle connection and set position.. good to see that there are people that pay attention to it:)
Thanks. Great information. Come to the point faster with an interesting tone of voice. Sounds sleepy.
I was wondering when I do lateral rises it heart my left arm shoulder and mussel is this normal? lite weight 5 lbs
The best explanation how to do this exercise on the Youtube. Merci beaucoup.
The breath out is quite loud love your videos brother keep up the good work much appreciated
I love this guy… Straight to the point.. not long drawn out videos.. thankyou ☺️
your intro looks like it’s come from regular show commercial
I always struggle to make a proper form of this exercise and its fucking annoying
Why all the other video i watched say it targets you middle delt?
No better exercise to tear rotator cuff tendon than this one…avoid it completely.
Only criticism I have, you said “they hit REAR delts, and traps”
I thought these were just for the middle delt. Maybe I’m wrong.
Luckymoon says “palms down” What do you have to say about this AFTER deeper research on this point?
That elbow tip you gave helped me feel my side delts. Thank you so much!
I wish I can do them…my shoulders keep popping and hurting every time I try to do that exercise. it’s been years now I grew quite a bit of muscle on me but Still..I feel uncomfortable with these
Wow amazing tips, thank you so much. And you’re so beautiful!
Cool information Thankyou from Australia ����
New subscriber ��
This is awesome thank you!!! Helped so much I am going to use lower weight and really get my form right. My shoulders popped or had a grinding feeling last time I tried this and I was like f that haha! But I’ll do less weight so I strengthen the ligaments and tendons first. The X and checks were awesome visuals.
This lesson is going to be really useful. Thanks for the tips!
Light Years is a measure of distance, not time! Dr Mike just like our hero Han Solo! Cheers from Italy!
nice!!!! this moves is deceptively simple yet require quite a bit of concentration. You laid out all the pointer i need to be aware off in really simple way and i can’t wait to applied these to my forms, thank you!
Woooo this video was much needed, I keep doing this exercise wrong but I really need it to be right, I want my shoulders big ❤️
Erin you are my favorite!! I like that you have a well rounded proportionate physique. Other channels have manly looking ladies with chicken legs. You are beautiful and an inspiration. Thank you
After watching your video I realized I’ve been doing my lat raises completely wrong. Your explanation of weight, reps, and proper form really made a lot of sense so I started doing it as per your instruction and it’s making a lot of difference (for the better).
I really appreciate the advice and suggestions you give in your videos.
Thanks so much!
Joey is actually holding 50lb dumbbells… they just look small on his giant sized frame
Thank you Erin… for showing us the right way to do lateral raise
Thanks Erin, a lot of the top trainers agree with you, make reps count, don’t count reps
this was such an amazing video, every through yet still easy to follow and not boring!
Pushing instead of lifting! I’ve never heard it described this way but I totally needed this tipthank you!!
I think this is the best video on dumbbell lateral raise on YouTube. Thank you so much!
Erin I bought one of your books and along with these videos, you give some of the best training tips I’ve encountered from online and in person trainers. Thank you for sharing your tips and expertise!
How many reps should be used for this exercise to build muscle?
YouTube is getting worse then TV with all these commercials. Sad
Really enjoy mike’s commentary. Really brainy guy but super down to earth and really funny. It’s especially entertaining when he and menno henselmans are going back and forththey’re both on the same level intellectually but polar opposites in terms of delivery.
nope you shouldnt lead with your elbows because of internal rotation and health of your shoulders. Always thumb higher than pinky and lead with your palm
Wow! I liked every word of the explanation, so professional! Thanks for the great contents✨��
Wow this jefit app is giving me bad advises, been doing this wrong this whole time
20 min video on how to do the exercise, but literally call it the “side lateral raise”, basically saying “side side raise” lmao
I totally appreciate you! I’ve learned that lighter is better for good form made the mistake of trying to go heavy. I can 100% see your lateral delts move as you demonstrate the proper way to do it! Yes girl!
Stop over drawing your lips with lipstick u look like a clown. Small delicate lips are beautiful
Thank you Erin! For sharing all your knowledges. I truly appreciate your work!
My right shoulder is growing well doing this but on my left im building muscle on my outer left arm instead, even though the movement is the same. Any help?
I watched this video because my shoulders were giving me troubles. It turns out I was making every single mistake. Thank you!
Erin great video, I am doing this excercise exactly according to Larry Scott instructions, and he is saying the same as you. One thing I was not knowing is the mental approach, not LIFTING but PUSHING the weights up for lateral delts. Good advise!
I learned more proper form from you than any guy on here! Than you
isnt your correction for mistake number 3 going to set u up for impingement of the rotator cuff?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5sNYB1Q6aM. Thinking longevity Erin Stern.
I watched this one again to show my husband the proper way to do lat raises. We did today pause reps and it was great with not much weight and the pause, I think i missed the part of stopping right before reaching arms perpendicular to the floor, I will work on do it perfect:)
would be funny if someone would interfere she would smash hes head with a 60kg dumbell and throw him out of the gym XD
What is a good long term goal for these to have good side delts? Obviously we don’t want to ego lift but we do want to progress over time. Would doing sets of 20 with 12kg with good control and mind muscle connection be a good goal? Seated not standing.
Nobody:
Not one single person:
Literally NO ONE in the gym:
Scott Herman: TTTTTTSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH
No. You definitely shouldn’t lead with the elbows. This creates internal rotation and hurts shoulder. You slightly lead with the dumbell (quite even), without tilting elbows downwards.
Thanks Erin, this really has helped. I’ve only recently gotten back in to the gym at age 40, after years of lay off. I was trying to be a hero with side laterals and kept on injuring/fatiguing my shoulders. This video has now taught me the proper form. Keep up the great work!
If you worked for God like that, you’d have heaven. But you only work for the devil and your ass.
I disagree with thumbs down during lateral raise. This is a perfect position for shoulder impingement. It may not happen quickly but over time it very well may. I would expect a professional like her would know this but it amazes me how so many people do lateral raises wrong in this manner. Keep your palm parallel to the ground and your thumbs won’t be facing down. Better yet, lean forward a little bit as well and it puts your shoulders in an even favorable position.
It’s time for me to start my routine, but your clips are very addictive….
This was an amazing video, so helpful, so informative, so concise, you’re wonderful, thank you so much!
Phew….. For a second there I thought she packing 10kgs not 10lbs
Thanks a lot for your hints
Also it’s so calming annd relaxing listen to you
Great and useful video���� love your energy and the way you talk and explain these important steps
Thanks ����
This is creepy is my first time trying this exercise and bam you tube recomendation.
your thumbs down while doing side Lateral raise creates impingement to the shoulder
Please keep these coming Mike, have learned a lot. Many Thanks.
Thanks this is great because I have 8 minutes between sets to listen to this
Hmmmm, interesting…at least now I know that Bigfoot’s first name is Joey:)
Would love to see a video about the correct way to do an OHP. I can’t seem to get a comfortable position for my shoulders. They just love to click and clack and I have tried different hand positions too.
Any help would be awesome.
P.s. I have been using Dumbbells instead but don’t want to miss out on any benefits I may get from OHP
Great video! Only one thing I’d like to point out… Light-years are a unit of distance, not time. It’s the distance light travels unimpeded in one year.
If you bend the elbow all that happens is you lower the chance for tendonitis.
Doing it with elbows bent making a right triangle takes away medial delt tension while elbows locked increase risk of injury.
Therefore have the elbow bent, use good form, and try to do reps in the 10-15 area since the medial deltoids in most cases are comprised of slow twitch fibers.
First time iv’e scene this series. After lifting for so many years much of this is lot of common sense, but I love how u pick apart these exercises. Always something new to learn or incorporate. Look forward to watching the rest of your videos! Thankyou!
I haven’t watched Mike for several days. Suddenly some guy pops up on my YouTube suggesting MT is on roids.
I’m going to say this again: roids has a look and a sound. And, those who Are questionable are the first to scoff, attack and squeal.
FUNALLY…follow the one you want to look like. If it’s not smooth and supple (even a man will look naturally fluid, smooth and flowing albeit harder).
So JUST pay attention. You’ll see the difference. If you’re looking for Real, you will find real. If you’re looking for roids, you’ll find them. LISTEN.
Be responsible for your own health.
6:20 50 light year eccentrics? But Mike, my wingspan isn’t that long!
Does it matter if you hold the weights in front or at your sides?
Also which variation is best seated side lateral raises or standing side lateral raises, or does it come down to personal preference?
Thank you Danny again!
I would like to see a video about pullover excercise ��
The lateral raise is an arc movement… the top 3rd is the most resistance!
the number one mistake in the lateral raise… is not standing vertically you need the forward lean… the number two mistake is going above horizontal… you’re causing a joint separation… nobody needs bursitis!
The shoulders are a floating joint…. the traps serve as a stabilizer for the shoulder girdle… lateral raises is not about lifting the weight… it’s about Contracting the deltoid… most people cannot figure that out!
Mike gives the best explanations for proper technique. Extremely specific without going into the weeds and killing interest. These series of technique videos are definitely some of the best on YT.
I was having shoulder pain… had to push the shoulder blades down and back throughout the movement
Such a simple explanation with clear follow along visual instructions. Subscribed!
God this is stupid. You DO NOT want to keep your scapula retracted while doing side laterals. The traps are SUPPOSED to be active in helping to stabilize the the scapula so that the deltoids can produce force to move the load. I wish you guys would quit repeating this shit when you clearly don’t understand bio mechanics.
I thought pinkies up causes impingement in shoulder joint? Is ok or does it cause pain?
I love this. Great info, focusing on biomechanics, not athleanXing with fake weights. Best of all, it’s a giant ass dude, using like 5lb dumbbells!
Mike IS the only person who doesn’t make a script yet he gives rarest best informations.
Wait, but do we go straight out? Straight up? I understand we are supposed to play around a little but I am not sure when I feel it in my side, or slightly anterior deltoid:(
You should take me out sometime bahhh���� thanks for your good work!
The shoulder is a floating joint…. to help stabilize the shoulders it’s often overlooked to contract your rhomboids!
Really man you needed to go and studie to see what women really like there is no physices
shes beautiful. I think a little momentum is good once youve done a good 6-8 reps in good form. Once i start going heavier, ill keep good form for at least 6 reps and then will use some momentum coming up and then fighting the negative. I’ll usually only do 1-4 cheat reps, if any. Dont usually cheat any on higher rep sets, just 10-12 reps or less.
Hi.Please explain what you really meant by mind-muscle connection. I think your answer will be a solution to the problem I have been facing but could not actually describe it.
can you do lat raises sitting? does it make sense to subconciously stop cheating?
UNACCEPTABLE DR. MIKE!! Lightyears are a measure of distance not time! Intelligence = 0;
Hi Dr Mike.. Can you do too much on these. I can lateral Raise, feel the muscle working.. but they never grow.. I think there is a tendency to do too much.. almost every day something happens to stimulate them.. Is there an optimal Volume per week. Thanks in advance.:O)
6:25 Where did he control the eccentric there? the concentric was as fast as the eccentric lol…
I’m really suffering hard from Trapeziooverhypertrophia and I’m so glad that Dr. Mike doesn’t mind…
Is it worth cheating a little if you control the eccentric? Sometimes I’ll cheat a few reps of bicep curls knowing I’m going to hold the eccentric a bit to get some extra volume in. I know I’m not getting a real concentric but I also know I’ve got some strength left for the eccentric.
How do you progressively overload a movement like lat raise? For example if I’m using 20lb db for a 3×15, don’t the ‘laws’ of hypertrophy state that I should have to increase the load in some way? How would one do that, considering this movement is hard to increase in intensity? Shorten rest time? Add more reps?
Somebody should hire Joey as some heathen barbarian dude in a movie
TIMESTAMPS
0:10 Intro – why do we do lateral raises?
1:50 Mistake #1 – Not enough range of motion
2:56 Mistake #2 – Too much range of motion
4:02 Mistake #3 – No standardized/consistent range of motion
5:30 Mistake #4 – No eccentric control
6:50 Mistake #5 – Thumbs drifting up
7:38 Mistake #6 – Using body English
9:03 Mistake #7 – Being too strict
10:14 Mistake #8 – Elbows either too flexed or too extended
11:50 Mistake #9 – Grip becoming the limiting factor
13:13 Mistake #10 – Poor stimulus
14:53 Mistake #11 – Going too heavy
16:43 Outro
Please do a video on standing barbell pressing. So we can see the correct form. I see so many different styles of barbell pressing. Thanks.
Does this exercise have any other benefits other than building larger side delts? I feel lots of impingement when I do this movement with pinkies up.
Hip hinch movements, high bar squats, leg press, dumbell pullover, dips,
Awesome video, but a light year is a way of measuring distance, not time. Technically it is still a year.
This guy is suggesting we should impinge our shoulders by putting pinkies down? And what does this cubbyhole have in terms of qualifications?
Face pulls please. There’s a lot of muscles involved for an isolation exercise and the room for cheating is much more bigger.
Personally I really feel meadows swings burn my side delts. Opinions?
It is just me I think she have imbalance in the left shoulder I see that arm less development of the other and when I lift the weight you can see the use of little muscle fibers.
Can someone please explain to me why I should focus on good form to target the lateral deltoid when in the beginning of the range of motion, the supraspinatus Is targeted? Like, isnt that a good thing because you are also targeting a rotator cuff muscle? Or is it because you should dedicate an exercise specifically for the rotator cuff?
Versa grips are great. I can’t remember who first mentioned them, maybe Steve Shaw or Alan Roberts
Awesome video. Please keep them coming. My suggestion would be inclined dumbbell press. My right elbow hurts after performing these and I’ve been trying to make adjustments to correct this. My left side gets the correct stimulus in the upper chest which is what I’m targeting. I have done these unilaterally with lighter weight and still having a hard time figuring out what I’m doing wrong.
“50 light-year eccentrics”
A light-year is a unit of distance, not time (how far light travels in a year) 😉
your thoughts on using heavy weight at bottom of movement and ligther at top of movement?
Putting your pinky up is horrible advice. That’s how you get internal rotation of the shoulder, and with this movement you get internal rotation + elevation. Impingement is bound to follow you whenever you internally rotate in this movement. Thumbs up instead and lean slightly forward, Athlean X has an excellent video on this topic and it promotes a much healthier rotator cuff and overall shoulder health.
As usual great teaching. Her personality is the vehicle that makes this information so digestible. On another note, I can’t help to be distracted by the dude holding his cell next to the rope cable trying to record in disguise… LOL! He’s filming “Avoid these mistakes when you’re trying to spy on a fitness celebrity”.
Dynamite ��
I always watch this to remind me to give me the cues for proper form. More of this please!
man you’re the absolute best at providing information. I agree with literally everything you have ever said.
@Teenssj2 Looks like her hat fell off when she was doing strict form barbell row
The second he said “I’ve never seen a motherfucker with traps too big” I clicked like!
Your hips are not your side delts. Thanks for clearing that up Dr Mike.
Please dont say “You’re doing them wrong”. Everyone has a different mind muscle connection. I would have a some suggestions for you to try as well, if I was your trainer but I would never say you’re doing it wrong. A good trainer understands that everyone is different and everyone tears the muscle differently. Using some momentum helps with strength and size of any muscle. Yes, it shouldnt happen all the time but going heavy isnt a bad thing like you’re saying here.
i feel like bending my elbows helps me put pressure on my mid delt more
Good shit this was super help full. I have found you have the best advice of any fitness you tuber.
That’s not how to do a lateral raise. There should be a slight bend in the elbow and the movement should not be all the way up all the way down.
You should raise the dumbell below your shoulder and then lower just before the hips so there is tension there. She is lowering all the down which is resting.
Hahaha I love Mike,
“… Being a fucking grown-up, and not swinging the weights.” ��
Respect DR. MIKE ISRAETEL, even with t-shirt you look like an antic statue!
PhD + muscle pack included, that is what we need! Stay safe and wish you only good!
By the way, a light year is a measure of distance not time.
Please film a squat tips video. I remember that Dr.Mike talked about squat techniques to get a better feeling of quads in different youtube channels but only with a couple of words. Could you make a more comprehensive video on that?
They actually did all these videos in one day and wrecked danny 😉
You don’t have to move the mountain; just LOOK like you can move the mountain.
Think I need to drop my weight down then I can do it proper good video thanks
Too much talking for a small exercise. Its not rocket science. Keep it simple, thanks.
he’s built without being a freak; you can see every muscle participate
How to strengthen the shoulders upto builds like yours if it suffers shoulder dislocation
Just the video I was looking for. Super detailed. Thank you!!!
I’ve always struggled with this exercise. I wasn’t sure why, but some days I really felt it working, and others not as much. The idea of pushing instead of lifting helped immediately. Not only a world class competitor, but also an amazing teacher willing to share her secrets. Thank you!
I have to say, This gentleman is by far the best trainer, teacher,etc in working out etc, Ive seen a lot of videos of other “experts’ but they dont come close. Jeremy, Goes by clinical trials which tells you in black and white, what works and what doesnt work instead of wasting time and money in the gym doing everything wrong. Im blown away. ps, the dislikes are probably from soy boys like Antifa that are against working out
Wow. pushing your shoulders down makes a huge difference and you can actually feel the muscle that you are working better. Which i never could in the past! Thanks!!
Very well demonstrated. Have you checked the Athlean video on lateral raises? I may be interpreting it wrong but I think there is a line of thought that a little bit of external rotation on this technique may reduce the chances of developing an impingement of the shoulder which can sometimes occur with lateral raises ( usually when tilting down though I suspect). Any thoughts on this anyone?
Hi mate. Top vid. I’ve joined the gym and I thought I’d message for some help. I and am wanting to build that classic wider ( v taper ) phisique,
But I have a muscle/nerve damage in my right shoulder. I’ve had it for years so it doesn’t hurt it’s just weak. I can perform pulling exercises alot better than pushing exercises like lat pulldowns, cable rows, upper rows, tricep pushdowns downs. I can do any kind of bicep curl and tricep routine also. can bench press and over head presses but this has to be really light because of my right shoulder and anything overhead proves difficult… Now the question is with my right shoulder delt damage I literally can’t do a dumbel front raise or a side raise. So will this stop me from developing wider shoulders and back? Hope you can help. Cheers��
i see those too,lifting too heavy weight for a particular exercise but theyre not contracting the target muscle..see some guys even grunting but when i look at them they dont even look pump..they see me lifting a lot less bec im 47 but alot buffer and toner than them..then i said optimum weight is d key and proper execution strength will follow as u develop muscles..if ur power lifting the strength first muscle development as 2nd priority its d opposite in bodybuilding.
If you keep pinkies above the thumbs like that you’re asking for trouble. Index finger should be higher than pinky. Lean forward a bit and you’ll get the side delt.
Based on what I just saw, I see no reason to use dumbbells if I have access to a cable machine.
Fucking genetics is always right there to make your life worse
I lift too heavy as a beginner imfeel like a wimp only lifting a couple kilo lol..Only 7kg in each hand but after a couple I really struggle
i always swing up arms like that to gain speed when I raise the dumbe!! nevewr knew it could make a shoulder injury
Thank you coach! Your teaching is smooth and easy to understand! Thats for your honesty too!!
Straight to the point and simple. I love your content. 1 million in no time.
Very good! It would be very helpful an instructional for rear delts too.
i tried for many years with straight arms ever so slight bend..didn’t work for me all i felt was impinging in the joint..there is no correct way only the way that suits you your structure and you find it via experimentation..sure take tips and try what others say…but dont waste years grinding because some one said this or that only to find out your doing it wrong for you,,,each of us has his or her unique way range and travel of motion that’s beneficial to them… and being someone who has traveled from 73 kg to 124 kg..biceps from 15 inch to 21 inch i would say that gives me some right to say what i have..good luck to all….consistent grinding is key.im coming up 28 years training at 52 years old and feel still in my mid thirties..if you wanna keep old age at bay keep 5%ing
DILIGENCE! BE AN ADULT!
I use that exact phrasing directing my construction contractors lmao. People cut corners in all facets of life, not just training. Damn mouth breathers!!!!
How symetric ripped physique you have…man I wish I had this physique
Hi! Not sure if you’re away but a famous Instagramer is profiting off your videos your posting.
I signed up with her months ago and charges money to then use some of your videos as content for what we should be doing.
I’m not sure if you’re aware but I’m trying to enlighten other you tubers who are being ripped off by this girls come up.
I got a lot of clarification for the proper form from this video. Thanks Danny ��
I appreciate ya, and respect your way to getting shoulders like boulders. I’ll holler at you soon. One Love.

I don’t understand how a workout over 90 minutes is so catabolic on the muscles. specific muscle group training is spread out, for example 2x a week. I thought the muscles had greater, faster recovery than that.
You are seriously amazing. Love your videos and the way you discuss fitness. By far, my favorite!
is it better to lean forward a little and externally rotate at the top or just keep the palms facing down?
Meanwhile meatheads dudes be like: “Yeah i do them swinging and i’m growing anyways so don’t need this sh**..” and hope the juice they use is gonna do the work for them hahhaha
This is pure gold. I was making some of these exact mistakes. Thanks Mike
Would it be best for me to concentrate solely on one area before moving to the next like with curls/bench? What I do is a set for the front delts immediately followed by the mid, then immediately followed by the rear and then do it all over again after adding weight. Would it be better for me to finish each area before moving to the next or is this the better way?
As always, good and useful information well presented. Thank you!
Also you have a nice face structure have you been on a pack of boxers? You have that look to model boxer shorts.
My shoulder wrecked my left grinds pops clicks I went too heavy 15kg in front raise it never felt the same my other side rounded I listened to the idiot in gym saying heavy heavy. What I do now is let the dumbbell go limp in my hand and raise my arm
Wow he’s really the simplest narrator and most effective too. You rock Mike
Mike, thanks for the video-great content, excellent advice. I appreciate it man. Where did you get that treadmill and what is it called? I mean what’s the model and brand? If you don’t mind my asking.
bro how long did it take to get muscles like that?? Thanks for the vid too
Hey Mike, great video, really helped me. Can you do a video in this style but for the wide grip upright row for the mid delts?
I guess shrugging while doing lateral raises is mainly caused by too weight dumbbells
Excellent Erin. You have always been one of my favorites. Exactly how I’ve been lifting.
great great great content,often feel a mild pain after shoulder day because of lateral raises, now i know that lats should be engaged to stabilize the shoulder, looking foward to a good shoulder workout! thanks!
I am pretty sure you can find good solutions on Unflexal page, great for health:)
Great, comes in from doing shoulders, looks on YouTube and this is the first clip that appears
Goes back to the gym
Ikaw ang hindi oversize ang muscle sa lahat ng na panood ko.. Nice..sa hindi pag gamit ng riod
I’m glad I saw this because ive been keeping those traps in timeout during my lateral raises.
hi Mike. I’ve been looking at a lot of content on line within fitness over the last year. I initially decided i did not like your page. as I thought you loved yourself.����. but havi ng gone back and spent more time you spend much time delivering great content and you deliver it very well so it’s understood. with no stupid punchlines. good for you Mike….
Unlike every other “personal trainer youtubers” out there, this guy actually puts effort into editing his videos as well as giving great training advice. Keep it up Jeremy ����
This is one of those videos which makes 100% sense after figuring this out myself after 3 years!
Jeff Nippard says this is the wrong way.. so yeah.. there’s that..
This is great, but fact is if you want a good physique you also need to cut down on the amount of food you are eating, doesn’t matter if you are doing the exercises properly if you are consuming burgers everyday this is all useless.
Fantastic video, you definitely need a “How To Perform…” section on your playlist. This is so easy too follow.
Take those kettle bells and flip the bell part over onto the top of your forearm. Then do lateral raises. Holy shit, you can’t do much weight that way but you will destroy your delts
Thats a wrong explanation.
For lateral raises the hands work as a hook, just for holding the weights.
This exercise is done by concentrating on lifting the elbows and not the hands.
So when you perform the lateral raises the position of elbows will be higher than that of hands holding the weight.
If the position of hands goes higher than elbows than you are basically not targeting the medial head.
Its kinda stulid to ask you how much weight should we lift. But how many reps for this is needed? Do we go extremely light ans do 15 reps or?
DON’T PRETEND TO POUR WATER…OR RAISE PINKIES!!! I’ve been looking for this video. Years ago I watched it and now I have SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT.:( Watch Physical Therapist ATHLEAN-X explain why it’s wrong or I can.
Great information! Thank you so much! I am building a new superset routine and today is shoulders!!
I have a major shrug problem, whenever I try to progress weight my lats automatically kick in. Been stuck at the same weight for over a year while making great improvements with other muscles. My shoulders look like shit. Tried all the tips in the video. I even try fatiguing my lats before I train deltoids. Nothing works for me. ARGH!
Got to love the fitness industry, full of very clever people who know best……
Also good idea to maximum involve middle delts is slightly rotate dumbbells so in upper point back part of the dumbbells will be higher than forward. Old trick is to imagine that you have jugs in the hands and you need to pour out the water. Sorry for my “perfect” English ��
“leading with the elbow”!!! Finally, someone who knows his shit on YouTube!! Thanks man! Great content and actually good advices!!
I know great place to learn about workouts. Just google for ‘Unflexal’:)
Number seven in the side lateral raise he’s referring to the counterbalance of the weights!
If you follow her guidance, you will emphasize your anterior delts, not your lateral delts.
Nice smile…..
But probably THE UGLIEST CHEST I’ve ever seen a woman can have!!!����
The number of stupid misogynistic comments by men really disgusts me. They’re not funny and you just all seem like idiots.
When can you start to see definitions with these exercises? And how many sets/reps should you do to see results.
Thank you!
My problem is that I feel it in my neck… but im only using 1kg-2 kg. Any tips?
Someone told me that when doing this lateral raise you need to lift your index finger when your arms goes up? I didn’t listen to this old man! Is this true?
I have watched that video loads it’s deafening though put another one up to replace it without the tscccchhh
Complete bullshit, correct lateral raise you should be slightly leaning forward and palms should face forward slightly, pinky finger up pure bullshit and a road to shoulder impingement. The sim is to externally rotate not internally rotate shoulders.
The pinky doesnt need to be higher than the thumb. Some actually do this with thumbs up and they are the same(or almost the same).
I love your videos, content and delivery are always spot on. A few questions about lateral raises.
1. Does doing them seatted make any difference? Especially in regards to cheating.
2. are you better off to do them on cables to better match the strength/ resistance curves?
3. what path should your hands take? At the bottom of the movement should they be at your sides or in front of you?
This is just a matter of what works for you.. what she is explaining is that works for her.. not necessarily will work for someone else
Wow..If you think your a tough guy, fight her first and than see if u are
Wrong. Thumb should be higher at the end, not the pinky. This is a common error. By having the pinky higher (ala pouring a pitcher of water) you are impinging the rotator cuff. Any PT will tell you this.
I have been doing controlled lateral raises for months with manageable weight.. little to no progress include supersets drop sets and nothing.. so for the past 2 weeks I’ve increased the weight x2 sacrificed the form a bit but really focusing on the negative and hopen for progress ���� grow shoulders dam u!!
He’s in great shape, but what’s up with that high pitched voice?
I bet she has a tattoo on her back “Semper Fi”:) btw,great videos
I got a great workout just by watching this video…. thank’s.
My dad taught me to do this exercise slightly different. As I raise dumbbell I tilt it as if I was pouring a jug of water, instead of keeping it parallel with the floor. I find that it is bit harder this way and prevents my wrists raising above my elbows.
There is no such thing as a medial deltoid. There are also not three heads. There is an anterior/posterior and lateral part of the m. Deltoideus. Medial means towards the midline. The part you call the medial head is i fact the part of the muscle farthest away from midline of the body, thus it is tha lateral part of the “deltoid”. Kinda fits with the name of the exercise “lateral raises” as the raise is in a lateral direction….
I just love her. Everytime Im not sure how to do a workout I check her out. Always informative, very knowledgable and professional.
Love that you haven’t tried selling me anything yet. Great information backed up by real science instead of anecdotal bullshit. Thank you
Thank you for all your videos! You are really helpful! Thank youuuuu!!!
Excellent now doing in the gym can feel and see the difference
Low key when I first saw the cover of this video I thought u were Vitalyzdtv.
I guess a lot of guys commenting on this video must be very insecure with themselves, if they feel they have to make fun of strong women. I thought the video was great. I’m glad she explained details on form. It’s so easy to hurt yourself if you do this sort of thing wrong.
The problem with the weight thing is that people associate it with “arm” exercise, so they use similar weight as they would for biceps or triceps. You gotta let your ego aside. For example, if you are bicep curling 45 lbs, you should be using about 15-20 lbs for lateral raises.
can you show how to do proper form for front lat raises please? does the same logic apply there too (start with light weights)?
@zxzroot She ripped all the frying pans in half, melted them down and made weight plates. She then destroyed her kitchen and turned it into a weight room.
Hope you enjoyed this one! Comment below what your most stubborn muscle group is below and I’ll plan some content towards that ��! In the meantime, give me a follow on Instagram to stay updated and for more informative content https://www.instagram.com/jeremyethier/. Cheers!
I loved the video and will definitely try it on my next work out. I’m 63 and love the gym. Mike Goswami from Austin Tx. Thanks.
bad explnation when doing internal rotation at shoulder joint you put yourself at risk of an injury because there is no space in the shoulder joint which is ball and socket.
this can cause you the impingement syndrom.
I want to smaller my shoulders plz.i have large shoulders so i want to reduce them. How plz
Is it true that working out shoulder excersice stops height growth at the age of 17 teen
I am watching every single video of urs and man.. ur gittin me huuuuuge ty��������
The moment I saw this video title I knew the error in information which was coming. Contrary to what you describe at 2:00 minutes in, the dumbbell side lateral has far higher muscle fibre activation during the bottom of the movement than you think…and sometimes greater than the cable side lateral. The reason? Because you have only considered gravity in your analysis, but have completely omitted the parameter of inertia. Mass that is not in motion requires force to get it moving and accelerate it into motion, and this has absolutely nothing to do with gravity. And once in motion, it takes force to slow it down again. This means, at the bottom of the dumbbell lateral raise, immense instantaneous force is required to initiate the motion of the dumbells. Furthermore, once you are into the set, every time the dumbells come down, your delts have to ARREST that momentum and reverse the direction to go back up again. These two effects together more than account for the changes in gravitational force you mention. If a car is rolling towards you on a flat road, and you have to arrest that motion and push it back away from you, the force you exert against the car is not against gravity…it is against the momentum and intertial energy of the moving car. Capiche?
Jesus this is the best lateral raise explanation video on youtube no doubt.Very detailed.
He is telling not to do what Jeff from Athlean-X told exactly to do for healthier shoulders lol
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.
Man, that machine is always open at my gym, everybody uses the free weights. I think I may stat using that machine now. Thanks
my shoulders click when i do this hurts alot and i have shoulder issues in my family any help?
Some of the things he was saying about activation is the complete opposite of what other fitness youtubers say like Jeff Nippard and Greg Doucette and so on. Many of them have aligned thoughts for their own personal reasons and Mike’s are different like on elbow extension and how high to go and leaning and so on…just an observation
I prefer to drink heavily…. but then i have a personality and so i dont need to wank around exercising like a loser.
Lol people are still advocating for putting pinkies up? Terrible. Granted you don’t want to have your thumbs up either, but with pinkies up that internal rotation will screw up your shoulders.
Great explanation!!!,
this helped by pinching my shoulder blades, it made a huge impact on the delt activation! Keep the videos coming
I find these videos of huge jacked dudes with big weights a little discouraging. Can you please use weights the rest of us can relate too?
Great info
Just a question
In your experience do you feel a great body attract women?
Thanks
3:12 “I like to engage my lats” all of a sudden Danny becomes much wider up top with zero effort lol.. where the hell did those lats come from and how do I pop them out on demand like that? tf lol
I see many geometric mistakes here. Great channel, a little physics 101 would help you a lot as you would be able to decompose the force vectors and see that some things here are contradictory.
So if the superspinatus is more active at the bottom of the curve during cable raises, and the dumb bell raise curve doesnt start becoming effective until the the arm is outside of the superspinatus effective curve sweep, wouldnt that mean that dumb bell raises are actually better because the range of motion for the lateral raise is only safely done when the arm is parallel to the floor? Also because a dumbbell is a free weight, the difficulty at the top is higher than anyother point in the sweep? Bands would probably the absolute best because it adds an even bigger dynamic curve, but dumb bells, in my opinion, be better than cables in this particular exercise.
Side lateral raise is a variable resistance exercise… that means the bottom two-thirds of the rep is low resistance… the top 1/3 of the exercise is high resistance…. also the traps and rhomboids serves as a stabilizer for the shoulder joint!
By the way if you keep doing side lateral raises straight up then your just gonna get yourself and others injured plz just quit this already man
Why not a leaning lat raise with the dumbbell? Also, why not dumping the milk out? Thanks!
Covering the basic moves (squat, deadlift, bench, row…) would be super awesome
One thing for sure is don’t hurt your shoulders cause your work out will come to a complete halt! It’s so easy to hurt them.
Best video on side lateral.. doing 100 reps each day for 30 days…
Wow! Meticulous and Thorough. I appreciate the clear explanation. Subscribed!!
Mike I’m a big fan. really like your style of teaching. I’m 68 yrs young 6’3″ 156 lbs. bmi =14, no fat but not much muscle trying to eat more not take any supplements real food I love to cook (wife say I’m to skinny). what you think about lending cable raise or lying on your side at 45% on bench and doing the Lateral raises from there? wish i could train with you. [email protected] gmail.com
Check out my artist website it what I have to share https://www.stuartlehrman.com/. Thanks again Stuart
What got me into the channel and made me a subscriber was, apart from all the knowledge that Mike has, he seems like a genuine nice guy =)
the reason why am watching is i just wanna avoid it ������i have it
what is the difference of side lat dumbell raises and side arm raises?
Great tutorial, thanks! Girl trying to lifts weights, this helps so much. Subscribed!
Thank you for this! I learned a lot and corrected my mistakes. Cheers
Take roids and u will get bigger and wider shoulder…mother nature wont give u and extra size with any train or any trainer that told u that his method works….so…u wanna be bigger u know what to do
Hello Jeremy, I’m Italian and it’s my first time watching a video of yours.
I’m absolutely impressed by the way you explain complex concepts and by the way you actually show them to us.
Please keep up the good work, you have a new subscriber now!
Ciao!
Had to sub! Best gym/ workout channel on YouTube! No bs no trying to push products or regimens. Just straight to the point with scientific research to boot����keep it up!
I have done something to my left elbow whilst doing this exercise. It hurts to do any latteral raise. Help
🙁
if were trying to grow muscle, why are we demoing a shitty movement then? lol
Hey, I´m a woman and had to choose “male” gender in your test to get an accurate/wanted training program. In the female “current shape”-part I can only choose between “stubborn fat”, “skinny fat” and “over 20lb to lose”. I have none of those in fact, I´ve got a good amount of muscle, and had to say I was male to be able to choose that. You should fix that, and remember that many women train just like men and are interested to gain muscle. Other than that, love your channel. Don’t differentiate so much between men and female:)
I choose dumbbells over cables.. u can do one at a time with them just the same as the cable.. correct weight and form and your good
Your shoulder is resting when you go all the way down and losing the momentum; however, if your hand is about 45 degrees separate from your hips then your shoulder keep the tension and momentum. Try it and you’ll see how difficult is every repetition after 8 or less…
i am new here.this is a great channel. I have not visited for a long time. sorry. I’m waiting for you on my old and new live recording videos
0:49 i see this all the time gym goers doing the floppy bird lol they just look stupid cuz the dont know what the hell they are doing in the gym… floppy bird workout lol 4:00
Whats the point of spending your entire life trying to get the perfect body when you have a voice like that?
I have very big traps compared to my shoulders and it is because my traps take over during my exercices! Great tips! it makes so much sense! can’t wait to try this!
Why does it sound like he’s reading? Anyway, learned a lot from this vid ����
What are the benefits of dumbbell lateral raises over cable? (Why shouldn’t I always do cable ones?)
My ex wife was a fitness trainer 30 years ago and she worked out a program for me and these were part of it. I haven’t done these for 25 years. Michelle makes it look so easy! She’s a Strong Girl. I’ll be starting with 5 reps…..
Wtf just show me how to do it I don’t need all the other bullshit u spat out
I literally had to go to 2kg dbs to complete this properly. Bodybuilding seems to be all about technique for the most part.
AthleanX says thumbs should be higher than pinkies at top of lift. External rotation NOT internal
I went too heavy my shoulder paid the price. I should’ve watched this vid 1st. thanks for posting this.
The pushing away tip made a huge difference
Amazing video!!
Thank you so much! ����
The principle is good. Good job. Just one thing you also have to take into consideration which is the muscle’s ability to produce force ( you do, but you don’t mention it). ideally, it should match the resistance curve of the exercise.
So in the case of the cable lateral raise, if setup correctly, it is perfect, because where the cable does a 90º angle with your arm is where you’re the strongest (mid range).
Great content.
I rarely comment, so for me to do that means ur vid was really great with explaining. Thank you, the answer I needed ����
I’ve been told that elbows should be above wrist at the top of the movement or have I been misled?
The issue that arises when using dbs for laterals is that it invites cheating because it is a complete mismatch of resistance profile to strength curve. There’s nothing wrong with utilizing this method, but using appropriate loads and control is imperative. Alternative techniques could be to challenge different ranges of motion with various loads as separate sets. Also, utilizing cables and manipulating their starting position can help match resistance profile to the medial delt strength curve by managing the moment arm.
Have my level 3 PT exam this weekend, these videos are amazing. thank you so much.
I always get pain at my right shoulder when using the machine… And yes, I do keep my scapula retracted and my shoulders depressed.
…..pinky a little higher I like her =), she has good form and precise with her video tutorials -plus she is beautiful!
is it more effective to perform the cable lateral raise behind the body or in front??
Many times it is observed during dumb bell lateral raise action medial shoulder impingement problem occurs.
How to take corrective action for it!!!
Wish I could do more than just subscribing or liking your stuff. Awesome content, Thanks alot mike
dude how u get ur body fat so low. i can’t get rid of my love handles even tho my upper body fat looks fine
Finally i found a video of someone doing it the right way, thanks.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! hold on your doing lateral raises just straight like seriously man first its all about and now your performing the excrises wrong
“Dont run away from the stimulus, run towards it!”
Words to live by
Not locking out your joints… is a standard protocol in bodybuilding!
I think its great when you can demonstrate free weight vs machine.
can you make a video about the military press, my lower back hurts when i do it
Great video Danny. Can this be modified to work the rotator cuff? Making a smaller range of motion? Focusing on the motion that would specifically work the rotator cuff that you referenced? I’m a golfer and I want to develop that part of the shoulder.
Thanks Danny!
Would love to see a video of the proper form for incline front dumbbell raise..
Thanks for being so explanatory��
Biggest problem i have is my traps wanting to take over during lateral raises. Ive tried going lighter weight and still have issues with not feeling it where I should.
SQUAD’S BACK! ��
Thank you for this! I see almost everyone doing this wrong ��
