Stop Messing Up Lateral Raises (Easy Fix) 

That technique gave arthritis in my fingers💀

Yeah it works but it seems like a pain in the thumbs. Good advice though. Maybe grip it tightly but not too tightly

@@sleepforever8378 I grip with my 4 fingers and just rest my thumb on the handle. Kindve a pseudo-suicide grip

Yeah bro that’s exactly what I do, it works perfectly

What do you mean by giving "arthritis", do it mean your finger hurt ?​@@thewisedaddy6460

Not enough people liking this comment

Good spot. This IS the reason.

Yeah it should be slightly easier but it makes it more stable. It eliminates stress on the wrist and lessens elbow strain I think.

Bingo

Damn should have checked to see if this was already said before i commented.

Yo

Brooo ur edits are the bestt

What programs do you guys use to edit like this?

You should try watching a movie sometime, they're edited by professionals, it will blow your mind

holy shit its Davis

ur acting like you just met jesus 😂😂 , have some shame hes only a man no reason to foam at the mouth

@@BF... Quality referring to production. People are pointing out the wrist straps. Fair, but don't think it makes a difference. More reps for slightly less rom. Dealer's choice. I don't plan on incorporating wrist straps, but I will try out a higher height.

I thought you were bringing up a lat exercise out of no where

Wouldn't you want to work the supraspinatus though?

no one does lateral raises to work their supraspinatus@@efumali

First 15 degrees, starting from which angle? If you are starting from a deltoid stretch, the supraspinatus is unlikely to be particularly active

Supraspinatus contributes to the first 15° of shoulder abduction from the anatomical position. Having the cable higher creates a horizontal force vector and therefore the load would be greater at the initiation of the movement (therefore the supraspinatus). Consequently, due to the altered force vector, the load on the deltoid would actually be at its highest during the top portion of the lift when the deltoid is at its most shortened. Having the cable lower would mean the force vector would be perpendicular with the the wrist during the mid-range of abduction and more stretched. So theoretically would be more beneficial for hypertrophy given the stretch/hypertrophy hypothesis. It would also mean that the much larger deltoid muscle wouldn't be restricted by the fatigue of the much smaller stabiliser. Side note, working stabilisers is great. But are you doing lateral raises for your supraspinatus or your deltoid?

@@efumali You would, but separately, ultimately this is a deltoid exercise and therefore should be the primary muscle being targeted. Often people develop shoulder pain as a result of over using their Supraspinatus in lateral raises movements so though it would good to clarify. Regardless almost any lateral raise movement utilises some Supraspinatus activation.

Medial delt.

is cuffs worked?

Is cuffs worked?

Exactly, good point..

touché

Honestly didn’t realize half the other comments are saying the same thing lol

Yeah but you might get a better mind muscle connection with the delt since your brain doesn't have to think about or expend energy on gripping the handle.

@@supercal333But then he puts a ball in his hand and grips that… 🙄

finally someone said it

Yep you did 2 extra reps cause you just took away 5 foot lbs of torque just lower the weight by a tiny amount and it’s the same thing. It’s probably around 5 percent less torque.

Won't that eztra tension earlier in the range motion hurt more

​@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive I would imagine it hurts less since the person said the cable is better, no?

​@@GoodByeSkyHarborLive They said, as someone. Not someone 😅. They are just pretending

​@@JourneyOfStrength That doesn't mean that at all. Wtf

Personally, cuffs reduce the stress on my wrists. I don't need limiting factors when I'm chasing maximum stability, so I can target a specific muscle.

Yeah Lu raises are dope I do them all the time especially for upper back and strength and shoulder stability

Why not include both in your routine if you can. Both amazing exercises

Lu raises don't isolate your side delt they use a ton of other muscles. 10/10 movement though. Great also as a warmup before presses.

Good for muscle growth?

@@AdarshKumar-jx4je literally the same as just reducing the weight.
