There's nothing wrong with using light weight at first. Especially if you've never really worked the medial deltoids before.

work your way up. I find lateral raises are easy to increase strength with. If you are doing both arms at the same time try doing them one at a time. I used to only be able to do 20's but now I can do 40's

I can db press 70's for like 6 reps, and I only lateral raise like 10-15lbs.
I'd say you're on your mark, just keep working.Originally Posted by jasonw86
I've been taking nolva from a friend now at 40mg a week and was gonna do the 40/40/20/20 thing. But my nipple is still leaking something.
BTW, we're not gay or anything, we just get bored when our girlfriends are gone and mess around with each other some. A lot of guys do it.

lat raises are so hard because you don`t use them muscles that often,granted some do but not very many. so in retrospec they are weak. just keep trying man. you`ll get there. i use 12`s and 15`s and i`ve been working out for well... today was the first day of my fourth week.
start off like mud:finish as A BRICK **** HOUSE

Hardest part with those is you can't get weights small enough. Every increase is very large percentage wise. I'm up to 22 an arm. I did 18 lbs before that. . .percent wise that's like adding 40lbs to a 200 lb bench. I thought I'd never get past 10lbs at one point.

yeah, the lateral raises are challenging and its alot better to be one of the guys using good form, then the guy trying to use a ton of weight, i db press 45-50 lbs, but i only do 10-12.5 on lateral raises. you will feel alot better of a burn with the good form over the heavy weight

Doing heavy weight is NOT important for laterals. Form is KEY on these. You need to keep your arms outstretched as straight as possible with only a slight bend in the elbows. Conventional standing laterals never did much for me. Never really felt my medial delts until I began doing lying laterals. You might want to give them a try sometime.Originally Posted by NaveedK

like has been said dude. laterals are not a weight exercise. i press 80lb dumbs and rarely pick up the 25s on laterals. on a light shoulder i'lljust burn ouot with 10lbs. these are truly a case of needing to focus on the movement and forget the weight

diamond i just started doing your lying laterals. I had to go to 15 lbs. When on stnading I can do 40lbs. They felt pretty good though its gonna take me a little while to get used to them. Also I see what your saying about how a kettle ball is easier for lying lateral press

Pyramid sets helped me a lot. Currently I do 30's, 40's, 50's and back down, but in all honesty I need to drop the 50's as the form is questionable.
My delts didn't really start growing until I started paying attention to rears. A GREAT exercise for rear delts is the reverse cable fly. I grab the handles, take 2 steps back, and extend in a backwards fly motion. Be sure that you don't drop your elbows or rock at the waist.

They might not work for you as they didnt work for me. I did laterals with 5kgs strict and slow, varied reps and weight, the burn in my shoulders was extreme but I didnt make progress for 7 months. Yeah its a bitch isnt it, 7 months doing it right but still not growing **** on the shoulders. Pressing movements work wonders for me, I progress from every workout. Im trying DD's bent press and it seems to do something.
