Ready to grow wider & rounder shoulders? I ve spent the last 6 months in the lab (which is just my way of saying I ve been working out in my garage and reading a ton of case studies) with the goal to optimize my training even more. What I ve found is no matter how long you ve been training for, there is always a way to get more growth out of every exercise. In this video, we tear apart the lateral raises and give a step-by-step breakdown of how they should be done based on how the origin of your deltoid is segmented. If you ve been doing traditional lateral raises directly out to the side then you re not targeting the most important segments of your delt that actually give you width.

This video was too much extra information on parts of the shoulder we don't need to know. Just showing the exercise would have been enough. I like watching these videos and get good exercises from them that I replicate however I feel that the extra growth he has from his shoulders, judging by the stretch marks can maybe be attributed to something else.

Been doing your programs for a while now and whenever a side delt exercises comes up I ve curiously been hitting them just like you recall on this video. That s the moment when I saw lateral development like never before on my 15 years of training. (Started with 5 s and now after few months trying this I do them with 35 pounds on each arm)

Damnit! Don't do the shoulder one now. I strained my rotator 2 months ago and have had to skip all the shoulder exercises plus a couple of french presses because of this. I'm almost healed. almost there again. if I even look at a shoulder press I'm back at ugly crying while trying to remove my tank top in the locker room. and failing.

So Arnold s cue was right by say pouring a pitcher of water. Jeff Cavalier says the opposite but that s because he avoids internal rotation at all cost. This was a great episode and I will be trying your version as it s even more exaggerated than Arnold s but I don t think he ever leaned forward on a 60 degree angle

I m glad you kept revisiting this over the past months. This form is how I ve preferred doing side laterals for a year now and I ve seen great results from it. Interestingly this was the only variation I managed to do without causing pain after dislocating my right shoulder 3 times the previous year.
reply

seems like if you do this wrong (and that will be almost all of us, a lot, youre going to wreck you shoulders.
I might try it a little (mids-high rep with VERY light weights. like grandma weights when there are NO girls with 10 miles of the gym. so I can control the form) and see how it goes.

Hi,
Would you be able to do a video on a workout using cables to build the side delta and also do a video about if we should we really be taking whey protein and creatine. Would be also great if you can do a video workout for each body part using only machines please. Thanks.

Ryan, one exercise, I have found particularly effective, is doing lateral raises with a cable. With that exercise I am doing a natural external rotation on the way up but on the same time pulling the cable a bit backwards. Maybe that was something you could check up on.
reply

Hey men! I just recently followed you. I watched your EMG shoulder workout. That helped me grow my shoulder in just a couple of months more than what I've been doing in the last 3 years. Thank you for posting awesome and knowledgeable content!
reply

so basically, just do a lateral raise sticking your arms out at 30-45 degrees while holding the dumbbells in a thumbs down position? No offense, I just wanted to make it short and simple for everyone else with a small attention span like me
reply

Same concept can be used for front raises, back exercises, hell even quads and hamstrings. Angles matter for every exercise when you are targeting specific growth, strength, or functionality. This is why Ryan has some of the best videos.
reply

Would be cool to see the readings of every bodypart doing traditional movements at different intensity: back and front squat, trad and trap deadlift, trad and neutral bench, overhead press, pullups, dips, barbell curl, clean.
reply

Ryan, thank you. Yes you need to do a series. It's an ah ha moment for many of us who've trained over a decade and learned a million things but can't find their asses yet or just me haha
Thanks for you excellent work.

I have a genuine cuestion, if this is the most effective excercise for shoulders why is nobody doing it? i mean, if its so efective why the bodybuilders dont do it, is a genuine cuestion i really dont know
reply

I'm guessing that what's coming is Ryan's Guide To The Optimal Exercises For Each Muscle, backed by his EMG experiments. Pick a muscle, here are the exercises that kick its ass the best. Yes we want that.
reply

That little microphone reminds me of some of the guys at the gym that injected a little too much juice in them. I suggest eating right and working out like my man, Ryan. Jut SAY NO to small microphones.
reply

Don't know about your anatomy but supinating your palm does not put your shoulder into external rotation UNLESS you consciously make it. Meaning your wrists can function independently of your shoulders lol
reply

I remember doing these about 15 years ago during physical therapy. The therapist told me to never exceed 5 pounds doing it. I assume heavier weights are okay for someone with healthy shoulders.
reply

Ryan, you have been my cheat code in the Gym for the past 2 years.
Thx for all the effort you put into making data driven content that is fun to watch and improves my health and spirit.

reply

Ive always heard internaly rotating your shoulder during lateral raises would lead to shoulder problems. Toughts on that?
Edit: never mind i had not watched the rest of the video lol
