Hand position for DB side lateral raises

[bignate73]

Yup, you're right. When doing db side lats, you should come up parallel to the shoulders and make sure that you're pinky knuckle is higher than your other knuckles <-- Like pouring a glass of water from a pitcher.

Very good analogy.

good analogy, bad advice.
LOL. that old method might be alright if you dont have a predisposition to shoulder problems.

something tells me that an alternative method (scaption) used by people who do have shoulder problems might be a better option and might be just as effective. its a matter of neutral shoulder vs protracted shoulder. i prefer to strengthen neutral.
