Lateral Raises

[CNovaJason]

Who finds this to be the toughest exercise to do, and actually "target" the right part of the shoulder? I can't get the outer(lateral delt) to get defined or grow! Is there any alteration I can use while doing a lateral lift or any other lifts to make it grow? Thanks bros!

Try upright rows. Lateral drop sets work best for me. They aren't hard to do correctly. Try doing drop sets with them and you'll feel the burn.

im not sure exactly what ur asking, but i kind of move myu whole body,


i bend forward a little bit and pull my arms as far back as possible (like the farthest part of the motion for reverse flys) and kind of move upwards and propell the weight upwards and try and hold th eweight there, but it just goes back down, then i start over....makes me huge for about 30 minutes after i do em

If i do laterals, they are seated cheat laterals. If you can strickly do 45lbs for 8-10 seated, then do 8-10 with 66's by starting with them beneath the bench (under your ass) and EXPLODE them up to the ear-level midpiont. One intense set to 1/2 rep failure is always enough for me. Last workout I exploded/cheated 66lb dumells for 16 killer reps. Transfroms a silly iso exercise a real mass builder.

Take their toll how? Personally, my shoulders have become quite rounded with them. I'm interested.

at the top of the movement make sure you are turning your hands slightly, so your little finger is higher then your index finger, I find this helps isolate the medial delt alot better.

go heavier on shoulder presses......

seated laterals...they allow you to focus more on your side delts and limit you from trying to cheat them up.


no fronts for me, only sides and rears for the past year and shoulders are nice and round/meaty
