Want WIDER Shoulders? DO THIS‼️

The part of the shoulders you have to focus on building is the medial head, out of all three heads.

One of the most effective exercise in building the medial head is the lateral raise.

However, most people do this standing completely straight, which causes the anterior head to be highly involved in the movement, taking away tension from the medial head.

To target the lateral head more effectively, simply lean forward slightly. Start with the dumbbells in front of your body, as oppose to the sides. As raise the dumbbell, keep the arms slightly bent. You should feel more lateral head activation.

Doing it at a slight angle also lowers risk of shoulder rotation injury, so good tips!

I was in the gym doing it leaning foward and some gym bro came up to me and "corrected" me by straightening me out and giving me a thumbs up to say now your good

[hoosierdaddy]

I like doing this on an incline bench. It keeps you from moving and relieves pressure from the lower back.

It annoys me sometimes to see videos like these learning I've been doing it the wrong way for so long

[stevenseagal]

Definitely. I do these seated while leaning forward, you can tell the difference

[hurdur]

i love you man

been struggling with shoulders for such a long time on how to do it

[akarsh]

Thank you so much!! I've been doing this standing straight whole this time😢

[stlcardinals]

Thank you! My traps felt more worked than my medial head did and I couldn’t figure out why. Time to finally get them wide shoulders ;)

[gumshew]

Boys and girls, listen to this young man, it's obvious he knows what he's talking about cuz his body is lit.

[shiproop]

This is so true, I just changed my style very lately and could feel the difference already

[Stinger]

Keep in mind when ur doing this exercise, feel the mind/muscle connection from the delts to the elbow. The position of ur elbows matter more than the weights u are lifting.

You are the best trainer in youtube. Love from india.🖤🖤🖤

[JorgensenDK]

I add a little outside wrist twist to hit the target perfectly

[shahidnyker]

I prefer doing this with a canle machine as I feel I get a better pump. There's more resistance at every portion of the ROM

[iangrant]

Thanks for sharing these tips. You have a great physique.

Also, Start Doing Standing OHP as a Standard Shoulder Exercise and Finish off with Isolation Mid/Rear Delt.

[xarissmyrnios]

No its more about the angle of the elbow

[StriatedSternum]

Do I have to wear a mask to restrict breathing?

[Andy-pus]

Standing up straight works absolutely fine, seriously

[NotEzn]

ALWAYS make sure your arms a bit bent I did it straight for the first time and my shoulder still hasn’t felt the same
