STOP doing LATERAL RAISES like this!

Lateral raises are arguably the most effective exercise to grow the medial head of your shoulders. Therefore, it's crucial to perform them correctly. Oftentimes, people unnecessarily hinge their hips and swing their body causing momentum to take over and their arms to flap like a bird. Instead, make sure to squeeze your glutes and puff out your chest to straighten your posture, then drive the weight up with your elbows by keeping your pinkies up as opposed to your thumbs.

I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Shorts #Gym

Heads up: Slightly leaning forward is totally fine just as long as you aren’t unnecessarily using momentum to swing the weight. That means a slight hip hinge during the eccentric and a small thrust during the concentric is ok as long as the weight is still under control.

You don't keep your pinkies up to avoid stress on the joint. You lean a bit forward to include the rear delt in the lift.

Someone with past rotator cuff injury here. Pinkies upward (internally rotating ) is not ideal for shoulder lateral raises. Just do normal raises . You won’t realise the mistake until you accidentally injured yourself. So, there is an old saying “ Prevention is better than cure”

Step 1. Stay straight, Step 2. Pinkies up, Step 3. Enjoy the shoulder impingement.

Honestly I'm just gonna do it however I want to do it, seen 3 different videos showing 3 different ways now I can't be bothered

Keep your pinkies up at your own risk, as it internally rotates the shoulder and may cause shoulder impingement or worsen an existing one.

This guy shows how it's done wrong 2x times. Great work. And not his first failure

[codylamonda]

Leaning forward allows for gravity to make it harder on your shoulders and angling your thumbs up slightly activates the front of your shoulder and prevents wear on your shoulder joints over time

I think according to Jeff Athlean-X your form in lateral raises is not the perfect

Oh I just realised that I was a Bird. Thx

[theguy]

pinkies up causes impingement, the way you were doing it the first time without the sway is actually correct, and safe.

[vimal]

see the first one is actually correct.... as i have seen that in athlean x.... you lean a little forward and keep thumbs a little up and pinkies a little down to incorporate external educate yourself and then open a youtube channel/....
and to all the people watching this, please dont fall for any one with a good body... longevity and healthy joints are just as important....

I like keeping my thumbs up to reduce friction in the rotator cuff.

Guys if you don't want shoulder injury don't listen to this guy.
What are you doing man...
If you don't know anything about this stuff don't make videos, you are just going to get a lot of people injured...

For guys that want to know how to do it without getting injured:

Always lean a little forward so your lateral delt is parallel to the floor (That way lateral head is going to be more activated instead of frontal delt), always make sure that your thumb is above your pink (externally rotate your shoulder, never internally)

125k subs and does these videos, that's not okay man.

Grab the 60s and do 2 reps while swinging furiously

[theaccordian]

Thumbs point up, not your pinkies. I I don't know about Max here, but I'd like to keep my joints when I become old.

Here's a tip. Go for light weights while doing LR with straight arms. Will help you more

[LiftPerform]

Reminder: DONT KEEP YOUR PINKIES UP IT WILL PUT A LOT OF UNNECESSARY STRESS ON YOUR SHOULDER JOINT!! another tip: swinging heavy side laterals with a little momentum is ok to produce more progressive overload. Just make sure to control the negative, dont lead with your pinkies and elbows up, and dont overbend your lower back.

[romzen]

actually leaning forward is better and whether you do it with momentum or not does not matter as long as you have the muscle under tension for as long as possible. in fact, momentum may help working bigger loads.
