66 lbs lateral raise

[bertstare101]

How heavy do you go on side lateral raise and front lateral raise?

[Awarebrahhh]

48lbs strict form

lol @ that guys form.... Anyone can do 66lbs that way...

[Cjjlpsp]

Never go heavier than 25lbs

Super slow and controlled, pinky higher than index finger, arms fully extended

[jnbrk]

Since I lowered the weight and started to do with 20 lbs each arm, unconventionally high reps, perfect form, amazing burn; my delts blew up.

what do you mean by that bro? mirin delts.

your shoulders look joocy. What else do you do for your shoulders and how heavy do you go for each exercise you do?

[Zerafian]

no higher then 40s, its all about the contraction and shoulders react better to light weight and high reps. Get blood flow underneath the fascia to help that stretch and grow

save my energy for presses

back when I was 230lbs I would do front raises with the 70-75lb DBs for reps

Nice delts brah

[thisguysrs]

being perfectly honest and not even a slight troll here I use 350lbs













nah but seriously I use like 22lbs for 3x12 with leaves me strugglin in the last set, I would use more but Im on dat dere home gym time to I just up the reps each time

[Cjjlpsp]

I do p/p/l so I don't really give them their own day, heavy but strict form OHP (5 rep sets) on push days, light + controlled lateral raises and rear delt flies on pull days (12 reps)

I really don't do much, but they've always been a genetic strong point

I went up to 50 lbs for front and side raise. My form suffered a lil bit...I was thinking about increasing the weight ..so I dunno. May be I'll just lower the weight and keep form strict..right now my traps are overtaking my shoulders

[Perthius]

heaviest i go on side laterals is 15kg, usually just use a lot of drop sets with lighter weights tho. As for front laterals, people still do those?

This. Haven't done front laterals in ages yet still made good shoulder gains from heavy pressing and side laterals

[naturalbeast987]

No pause at top no care... overhead presses should be heavy.. flailing your arms around with the rest of your body is like lifting 15lb weights.

strong torso workout.

[Thai_Clinch]

lol @ going heavy on side lat raises.

I do pyramid sets with no rest between weights. 1 min. rest for 3 sets.

10 reps: 15lb, 20lb, 25lb, 20lbs. 15lbs.

[SELCOUTH]

babyslayer used to do them this way with 100lbs db

[jstn0127]

Like your pouring milk

[CHCL]

Not much...Maybe 30lb.


Marvin Eder still blows my mind though.





At a bodyweight of 190 to 200 pounds Marvin performed the following.

Olympic press - 330 pounds.
Deep squats - 50 reps with 300 pounds.
Side laterals - reps with 120-pound dumbbells.
One-arm-chins - eight consecutively with each arm.
Press behind neck - 305 pounds.
Side press, left hand - 220 pounds (with a man sitting on his hand).
Parallel bar dip with 434 pounds (two men hanging from his feet!).
Bench press - 515 pounds.
Still arm pullovers - 250 pounds.
Wide grip chins - 80 with his bodyweight and 8 reps with 200 pounds attached.
Consecutive handstand push-ups on a horizontal ladder - 25.

Came in expecting rob bailey left disappointed

Have gotten up to 45lbs on front raises and 35lbs on lateral raises. Have an issue with form whenever I go higher than 35lbs.

Basically as you bring it up, turn your wrist forward, as if you're pouring water out of a jug. Do this until your pinky is higher than your inde finger. This causes your humerus to internally rotate, which takes even more stress off your front delts/traps, so basically you're isolating the side delts more (which is the whole point of side raises).

[dannyg2127]

They start to burn my shoulder, not in a good way, when I do anything past 25 pounds.

I usually do a set of 10, 15, 20 pounds x 10 then a drop set going down in weight

Form is everything when you're talking side-delt isolation. Go light if you need to. arms fully extended, because that makes you less likely to cheat and use bad form.

[WintryRaven]

To be fair to front raises, they do a decent job of stimulating the clavicular region of the pec, which could be what you need if you're looking to kill it in v-necks and what-not, but as far as anterior delts go, nothing beats military press.

[Xuaxace]

i got from 10kg to 25kg at this stage (22lb to 55lb).




Form tends to go from strict to lose after 20kg/22.5kg.


I think most people that become too concern with "strictness" are missing out on the the upsides of some cheated work. Cheated work is one of the best ways to increase the weight of strict lateral raises. My reasoning for this is, when you do a lateral raise, you are pushing a weight VERY far outside the center of gravity of the body. This increases the stabilization a lot of muscles have to provide in that certain position (muscles like the upper traps, elevator scapulae, some of the rotator muscles etc). The best way to overload this muscles is by doing some cheated laterals IMO.


TLR, do strict, do cheated


P.s simple ways to increase the weight on laterals is by increasing the stability on the forearm and shoulders. E.g retrating shoulder blades to prevent too much movement, and gripping the dumbbell as hard as possible (this two tend to add a handful of reps when doing properly)

I started pausing and doing slower negatives bc I never get doms in my side delts (inb4 doms doesnt equal growth). I do double sided 35lbs with decent form but may lower it again.

I feel that if I go too high (above shoulder) then I feel it in my traps because they squeeze
