I fucking love how Dr. Mike introduces various versions of the same movement emphasizing different patterns might work better for different people, unlike most weight training channels out there imposing their single "best" way to do the moves. That is real wisdom, thanks Mike!!

exactly bro , specially when you spend years training you learn that some common ways of performing some exercises are simply not suitable for your body , there are few people like dr mike wise enough to admit that there is more than one way to do things

"Here's how you've been working out wrong all this time!" God I hate those videos. Don't patronise me. Give me Dr Mike with his perfectly shaped head and sage, grandmotherly advice.

my rotator cuffs beg for 5lbs but my ego just coldly looks at them and says “no”

What i like with Dr Mike’s vids is that he doesn’t say “do this” or “dont do that”. He always emphasizes each individual to find what their body can take and which variation suits them well. I think its great and practical coz all our bodies are built differently.

I came for work out tips but I found I found my life's purpose, side delts so huge that doors break when I walk through them. Thank you Dr. Mike!

Perfect timing. I was just reevaluating my form and method for lateral raises.

Seems like one of those "try every variation and see what works for you" things though.. so used to being told to keep a bend in the elbows, not to go too high, etc. Not sure if I have the patience to try them all but we'll see how it goes..

This guy is such a pro. Unreal education in a succinct easy to understand format.

Dr. Mike put me through this exercise about eight months ago. I've done it exactly like this ever since and have seen excellent development in my medial delts as a natural lifter. Highly recommend taking this advice.

Keeping my elbows straight and pausing at the top really changed my lateral raises. I had to drop weights because the sensation is just brutal but the pump is just beautiful. Thank you Dr. Mike!!!!

​@@danielmillward9947Legit. Its a bit hard to see the tiny 13 yr olds next to me swinging about the 12.5kgs, but i know deep down im doing it properly 😂.

I was doing regular lateral raises with 16kg dumbells for quite some time. When I tried this variation, I was struggling to complete a 10 rep set with 10kg dumbells, it really max out the tension and it's harder to cheat. I've felt a pump on my shoulders that I haven't felt for a long time, just by doing those simple changes.

Just started training again and this channel is answering so many questions that I have and motivates me to play around with different variations.

Dr. Mike always keeps it simple but useful. Thank you Doc!

Clear, impartial, applicable content. Thanks Dr Mike!

I’m 36, and have been lifting for almost 20 years, very consistently. Never did super ROM until I saw Mike do them in another video. Fantastic shoulder stimulus and much better results than ever before.

THIS IS THE BEST SERIES ON RP!!! THANK U SO MUCH DR MIKE!!! U R MY HERO!!!

I love how he mentioned that it's okay to lock out the elbows for this movement. Every other video that I've seen on this topic always says to have a slight bend in the elbows, but I've always had a better mind/muscle connection by keeping everything locked tight.

Doc!!! Loving the fact that you’re doing exercise videos now. KZread needed you!!

This was an awesome explanation. Thanks doc.. just recently subscribed. Love the no nonsense videos. Straight to the point. No bs. 💪

A variation i do love is the unilateral with the hand taking a supinated grip. Insane mind muscle connection

Wonderful video focused on one muscle and one type of exercise for it. Thank you, Dr. Mike and RP.

Thank you Dr. Mike! Incredible amount of knowledge in a short 6 min video

Best video on Lateral Raises I've ever seen. Thanks.

This was very clean, clear, and to the point. I also love how you explain things. Subscribed.

FINALLY! An intensive and unbiased video on the lateral raise exercise as a whole, there is so much crap being spread about this lately as if one size fits all

Dr. Mike always with the simple tips that work!

one of the best videos on shoulders ever.. 10/10

I like that you covered all of it. I thought you'd leave out the hand position rotation, but you didn't. Great advice!

Ever since finding this channel, I feel like my workouts have become so much more productive. Just small things like controlling the eccentric, big stretch at the bottom, etc. have improved the quality of my time in the gym and produced great results. Fantastic dumbbell/home workout videos. And a beautiful man to gaze upon.

Excellent video with great advice presented in a brief and concise manner! Thanks Dr. Mike...

Great timing! I was just looking for different methods to build rounded delts better, and got this! Thanks

Such a concise and well organized video. Thank you!!!

Love the suggestions, overall layout of the video, and how you go over the form.

New fan here and I am an experienced bodybuilder. I love your technical deep dives with a hint of humour. Thanks doc! 💪

These videos are amazing. Thank you Dr. Mike.

I've been using muscle isolation last few years and it's been a game changer in results. I only use dumbbells to isolate contraction in every muscle group. This I've found increases muscle/mind connection in every muscle group. I still use bars but most have been dumbbells with extreme focus on feeling fibers working and contraction. You should do a video on this. My muscurlarity has been through the roof. I use one dumbbells for the targeted muscle only and focus on the squeeze flexing as hard as I can every rep. I'm an advanced lifter over 30yrs of training tho.

Just what I needed to get over the hump on mind/muscle connection with delts. Thanks for another great video

Nice. I’ve literally just watched two other guys videos on lateral raises. They contradicted each other, as well as saying absolutely don’t do this and absolutely you must do that. Your advice on finding what works best for the individual as well as changing it up occasionally seems much better.

Top tier instruction with great humour, love it.

Really appreciate your videos! So much valuable information, thanks so much.

My favourite exercise by far! Great video Dr M!

Thank god for you, Mike. I've needed to hone this in more

I would love to see one of these breakdowns on cable pec flys, the multitude of variations on how to do the exercise and target different parts of the muscle. Thanks for the top shelf content!

awesome video, so much info and clearly explained and shown. Dr Mike , you seem like a really cool guy, thanks for all the valuable lifting lessons!!!

It's ridiculous how much the feeling changes when I've started using the full/super ROM. Combined with not going down all the Way and holding /pulsing at the last reps. Really amazing tips, thank you for that

Old guy here with shoulder issues - avoid pinkies up as it places shoulders in internal rotation, and don't go out completely to side. Bring your arms tin slightly to about 45 degrees. No more pain!

Thanks for the advice Dr. Mike! I totally took lateral raises out of my program because they were popping like bubble wrap when I'd go above parallel. It's good to know that I can still get a good stimulus within a comfortable range of motion.

This is the best training tips I have seen in a long time.

Fantastic advice, I found it hard to work out the posture for side lateral raise and never thought to take the weight down slowly.

Thank you for these videos! I appreciate them lots!

Thanks for the helpful tips, Mike! Allow me to share a variation from my side. Part of my technique is: instead of just holding 1 second in the top position, I make a little extra 'jump' with the arms (lower a couple of centimeters and raise the same amount again to top position) and then lower my arms in a controlled way. I can really feel the strain in the muscles by doing it that way.

Love your videos Dr Mike! Thanks so much for sharing 🙏

I've struggled with laterals for a while, but watching this at the gym today made me feel my side delts burn like never before. Much apreciated doc 🥳

So stoked and grateful for this info! I immediately got slightly more jacked and slightly more tan just from the intro & 4k video, despite my monitor being 1080p.

Thanks, Dr. Mike. I'm pretty new to lifting and definitely feel like the delts were lagging. The variations are really helpful. Those pauses are a lot more fucking brutal than I expected. That one is absolutely in the mix now. Appreciate the content.

Been waiting for this one, one of the best damn channels on KZread Thank you RP!

Man you describe this really well and l been working on different tweaks the last year on lateral raises and you just went through every single tweak, from elbows , range , holds , fingers and hand placement, fantastic job. Also l have been doing start position from sides of my legs little elbow bend , pinky a little more dominant, also l have been fully locking glutes and hips forward l keep my feet touching side by side and keeping all my weight in my heels , locked knees all times like a concrete pillar at the same time relaxing upper body keeping chin down also this technique is always slight adjustments whilst I’m doing reps so l really must stay focused sometimes l find l might start lifting my chin or unlocking my left quad or my breathing might drop off, finally l use a weight that’s not too heavy so l do more reps and my range might start from bottom to top then l might start doing a really short range which you mentioned from top to 45 and back pumping it out then go back to full range and like you you perfectly described it will eventually catch up with you , thanks and l love zoning in and doing lateral raises ❤

Thank you. Been watching the tiktoks and reels for a while and learning. This video has been hugely helpful. Have good delta lateral raise but hitting plateau. Some of these variants are great.

Thanks Dr. Mike, your contents are very much informative and helps me in my training.I would like to know more on calves' movements.Its my pain area. appreciate if you could do some video around those. Cheers!!

I really dig this video, thanks a lot! Cant wait to get back into my PUSH day this thursday and try this. I've been having trouble with my shoulders since day 1 (been a year of training now) and my delts have grown a bit but not enough compared to the rest of the body

Decided to replace my overhead presses with these for awhile. Thanks 🎉

Y’all NEED to try the super ROM/ Lu raises. Amazing pump and I feel it working my rotator cuff and small shoulder musculature. One of my favorite PT movements that I started for shoulder rehab but just kept overloading and they’re a staple now.

Great vid as always Mike

When I do it with straight arms, I feel it more in my upper taps for whatever anatomical reasons. Elbows bent in 90 degrees angle and upper-body slightly bent forward (with chest up and arched back) hits my side delts like there's no tomorrow.
