Don’t Do Lateral Raises Like This ❌

Lateral raises are a solid side delt exercise to build bigger shoulders, but there are many small form cues to pay attention to when it comes to proper lateral raise form during shoulder workouts. When performing this shoulder exercise, make sure your elbows aren’t completely locked out (reduces lateral deltoid output and is less effective to build shoulder muscle) or overly bent either (takes the resistance out of alignment with the side delts - not ideal to get that 3D delt look you’re after). Instead, just keep a slight bend in your elbow, lean forward a bit, and raise the dumbbells up into the scapular plane. This applies whether it’s a dumbbell lateral raise or cable lateral raise. This will give you the best deltoid workout possible on this deltoid exercise. ✅ Subscribe to my main fitness channel: Get Your FREE Workout & Diet Plan: 📝 Connect With Me: 👉 https://w
