Thank you! I’ve been lifting consistently for 6 years. This is the first explanation that helped me get into the scapular plane. Strongest mind to muscle connection I’ve had with my medial delts without machines.

Great video. It's nice to confirm that I am doing this exercise correctly. Many in the gym fall prey to bad form by chasing heavier weights.

Switching to moving in the scapular plane is the 🔑! Makes such a difference 🙌

Is the hinge necessary to target optimal the delt or is standig upright also good? And also applies that setup in the video for the cable lateral raise?

Great content! I was doing DB lateral raises in the scapular plan as shown in the video.. Shortly after, A trainer approached a friend with an adjustment. The trainer had my friend bring the dumbbells together in front of her with a pronated grip. I gave this a try and felt the rear delts.. I noticed the range of motion was shortened. Wasn't able move in the scapular plane nor was i able to feel the mid delts. Can it be from having the shoulders internally rotatated? Hope I'm using correct terminology here hahah. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Do you have a slight bent in the arms?

[kippywylie]

Would doing these every day be damaging, and how about every other day? Please I want to be in shape for summer in 2 months

You did not mention that the shoulders should be tucked back and down. Other experts instruct it that way.
