How to Lateral Raise for Maximum Muscle Growth

The lateral raise is, more often than not, done incorrectly. In this video Dr. Shallow shows Adam how to perform the lateral raise movement so that the side delts are getting maximum benefit throughout the entire movement for maximum muscle growth.

I think its important to note for the everyday user that if you're going to get into this pose, that the traps should not be shrugged.

OMFG flaring out the lats isolates your delts so well!!! this is the first time i heard and try it and ive been a gym goer for like 9 years now! Thank you so much for this video!

[jackvai]

very good...this is one of those movements
that, if you allow yourself to get too comfortable
with it...you gradually start doing it wrong, again.
always good to have a refresher like this...
thanks.

I feel shoulder impingement watching the movement 😥

Thanks for the video on this my friend

jeff cavalier from athlean x: internal rotation=shoulder impingement

[lovedove]

Dude I love how you specifically go through the mechanics of each exercise. I am a female and I just started weight training on my own. I've felt some pain and always wondered if Im doing it correctly.

How do you deal with the issue of shoulder impingement when internally rotating underload like that?

[pjdexter]

Terrible advice, internally rotating the shoulder under any load is asking for trouble, now or in the future and isn't natural. You're much better off leaning forward slightly, externally rotating as you raise to the hit the same area in a much safer way.

The 2:30 mark was like solving an equation!

Now for someone who is over 40 and suffering from tennis elbow on a constant basis, I love this motion, but I struggle with the elbow pain. What other motion can isolate the same way.

[lamariana]

Thank you for this. I had to decrease the weight to a fraction to do this and it’s the FIRST FREAKING TIME I actually feel my middelt doing the work.

[aidan]

Engaging your lats helped me a lot. Thank you!

[IronAngelsFitClub]

Internal rotation can contribute but the bigger problem is a pre existing muscle imbalance like upper cross syndrome or individual anatomy (space in the joint)which varies person to person.

please do not interanlly rotate your shoulder it could lead to injury!!

[Myke_Juliet]

When you "pour the milk" doesn't that smash the supraspinatus into the AC joint when the shoulder is internally rotated?

[Federico]

I injured just watching this guy internally rotating... Waiting for your injury and your following "what did i do wrong?"

[rhodwilliams]

Off to the gym I go to try this shit out 👍

[Konphetty]

I literally just came from 3 different videos where they said internally rotating does nothing. Man why cant personal trainers just agree in one thing 😂😂

Definately subscribing to Dr Jordan Shallow's channel after this. This is by far the best explanation of the lat raise I've heard.
