  • HE FORGETS TO MENTION THE "SOFT ELBOWS" IN OTHER WORDS SLIGHTLY BENT, YOU ARM SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY STRAIGHT! AND THUMBS UP PEOPLE!! IM NOT TALKING ABOUT LIKING MY POST. YOUR THUMBS SHOULD BE POINTED TO THE SKY!!!!!! common rookie mistake

  • Comment removed

  • Also what do you mean this exercise is for beginners? I see people who have been lifting for years do this all the time

  • @idontownanyunderwear i think he just means that it's a good exercise for beginners since it's quite simple, not complex at all. but yeah, it's a great exercise whether you've been lifting for a month or 5+ years.

  • Thanks

  • Thums up if you started breathing in time with his lifts (Y)

  • this is sooooo hard! i can do anything else BUT this! i always give up midway in.

  • @NarutoFanBoyie yes its hard, you need to do it with half the normal weight u do it with until u get better at it

  • @NarutoFanBoyie if you cant go all the way up then you are using too much weight. it will benefit you if you drop the weight so you can get a full rep in. trust me

  • danggg this hurts after a whi;e

  • @frostybiitecp GOOD that means its working son

  • Nothing burns my arms more than laterals!  I actually despise Laterals more than Jumping Jacks and Jump Rope...and boy do I dislike them both...

  • @johnnyrckt look up the musclehead on google. if you can find a place to download his ebook for free he was alot of good info on everything you'd need to know i just finished the book yesterday.

  • I'm a skinny guy. 24yr about 160lbs. arms are really skinny. I can do about 3 40lbs db curls but only 15lbs laterals. I don't have a real workout routine other than trying to lift biggest weights I can. basically any tips would help tremendously.

  • does anyone have tips for going from 10kg to 12.5kg weights? I've worked my way up to 10 and find them not heavy enough now. The 12.5kg is 25% extra weight than 10kg so cant use proper form and there isnt any 11kg dumbells to bridge the gap. Cables just dont feel the same.

  • does this exercise work the traps as well?

  • so if i bent the elbow im a cheater?this is difficult!

  • thanks, for making this great video.

  • @ZzonkedMCFC then go do what you do.. lifting sets to failure isn't for BEGINNERS.. i hope you can read that.. because you sure as hell couldn't read who i was replying to before you came along with your 'herp derp lift weights til failure so i feel like my arms are jello'

    for a beginner it WILL INJURE THEM!

  • @garnz2791 Why will it injure them? If you can explain to me with some foundation based in biological fact why doing sets to failure will injure a beginner any more than lifting weights and stopping after 8 reps or whatever will I will concede my inferiority to you.

  • @ZzonkedMCFC Beginners haven't built up muscle endurance. Just like running, an experienced runner can go many miles and push it to their failure point (shaky legs, exhaustion, etc.), and feel totally recovered in a day or so. However, beginners would benefit from working up muscle endurance before they really start to push their body. It's not a necessity, but it will reduce injury.

  • @theHurtfulTurkey Running is a different though, because it's the same exercise done by both people. Weights however, is obviously going to be much heavier for an expert. I think a beginner should exhaust themselves on a lower weight because it's the best way to improve. The whole time lifting I never let myself get comfortable with a weight, I keep moving up so that I can make gains.

  • I keep getting different form on this exersize like it dont make sense... i thought ur suppose to bend your elbows a bit and lift the weights with your elbows like your pouring a pitcher.. ????

  • how many reps should a beginner be doing?

    as many as you can handle?

  • @BlueGrassGreenSky23 never do reps "until failure"

    do a certain amount of sets and a certain amount of reps or you will injure yourself.. i can't tell you how much you have to lift but i do 3 sets of 8-10 reps.. with upsets or dropset

  • @BlueGrassGreenSky23 8-10 reps with a heavy weight for strength gains

  • Fuck that's hard

  • he makes it look so easy 

  • uhhh I want his body...

  • This leg workout was hard!!!

  • Since laterial raises are intended mainly for Deltoids (shoulders) try alt arm raises with a varation. Stand with light dumbbell (10 pounds is plenty) in either arm, arms hanging straight at sides. Instead of having palms down, rotate forearm so thumb is up then slowly raise to near shoulder level. Do 10-15 reps with one arm, then 10-15 with the other, 3-4 sets.

  • another agonizing exercize. some exercises cause you to do reps that feel so unnaturally awkward and uncomfortable that you just hate doin em. this one might be nice , once you get use to it but in the beginning you should  use lighter weights than you probably think. raise like this are hard because your palms are pulling up wrenching the whole elbow joint.

  • i do this way different... my feet are much closer together i lean forward a little bit arms bent to about 25 degrees, and use my delt for the exercise... I was told this is the right way to do by a pro bber. D: what do?

  • MR KENNEDYYYY

  • @AndyHarglesis 13 and 6'4 unlikely stop bullshitting you have'nt even lived life yet your muscles are'nt even fully developed lol you don't have any facial hair and your balls probs aint even dropped yet and your allready a smug cunt shut the fuck up. Little tip on life: even if you are able to do something most people can't, don't brag about it because you'll only end up looking like a dick head

  • God damn ive never done a harder one

  • These fucking kill me, I added lateral raises to my workout and I can barely do half the weight I use for my dumbell flys when doing lateral raises :(

  • Wow i was doing these extremely wrong. lucky i didnt get injured

  • 0:00

    

  • Cont 1

    This exercise primally works your deltoids (shoulder muscle) and to a lessor extent your trapezius (middle upper back). Another similar exercise Alternate Front Arm Raises also works shoulders and upper pecs. Take a lighter dumbbell in each hand, arms straight at sides, palms down and alternate lifting arms out straight in front of you, again don't lift higher than shoulder height.

  • You don't have to avoid, but don't over extent because it can tear up your rotator cuff (area of shoulder, that can take months to heal) if you do injure it. Do not raise arms about horizontal, The higher you do the more strain on the shoulder and the greater the potential for injury. Besides going higher adds nothing to the exercise. You might find it easier to do if you rotate shoulders slightly forward. If you feel pain, don't lift arms higher than where pain begins.

  • is this a compound or isolation excercise?

  • i cant even raise my fucking arms farther then my pecks cuz i had surgery >:( makes me feel lame

  • Mmmmmmm hello

  • Lateral SHIT.

    I've done those raises with almost 100lbs in each arm and I'm only 13 and NATURAL, no steroids or any other drugs!

  • @AndyHarglesis And you're also a massive douche bag. Grow up, faggot.

  • @AndyHarglesis Stop bullshitting nobody believes you

  • @AndyHarglesis I could do 150 when I was 5 and I could do your mom back then too.

  • hello guys, I am new to gym. I am starting gym. I buy dumbell. I want to ask you that when I raise the dumbell like this video I hear sound in my shoulder. I am unable to to do this exercise due to this sound and I think that I feel different while raising like this. Can any one have same problem like this? thanks

  • @umair9926 is it like a little pop or snap sound? i have the same thing. try and find a different exercise that works the same part of the shoulder

  • @umair9926 Dont do it if your hear that , it could cause injury to your joint and ligaments.Try something another workout.

  • sets of 10 , with 10 kilo bells

  • Should you stretch your arms or keep sleight bend?

  • @MastahMich Keep them straight. If you want, you can boost a little with your legs if you wanna hit heavier sets.

  • @MastahMich I personally se a slight bend because I can lift more weight that way. I don't try to go too heavy here because a couple more pounds on a dumb bell isn't worth tearing anything anywhere near my rotator cuff.

  • i always struggle to do this exercise even with really light weights

  • 16 and i do this with 10s lol i need to step up

  • cheers. quick, simple and informative!

  • SAW A guy today all arms no shoulders i laughed bcuz someone can develop arms over time shoulders is the true test of strength 

  • aim for 8 - 12 boys.

    Nothing heavier, if you can do over 12, increase weight.

  • only hearing those who have the body i whant tohave and this is not this guy .nothing heavy right = no muscles .

  • The only dumbells i have is 25 :( i could only do like three

  • i only have 1 dumbell which weighs 7kg. is it okay if i will only use 1? rather than 2 at the same time?

  • @cOLnzkiE That could work too. Probs best to do three or four reps with one arm then switch to the other and do the same each time

  • @UnavalibleUsername94 i do 10 reps in one arm an then the other arm is it ok? i want to improve my chest the most. I only do push ups. preferably knuckle push ups. and also i want to improve my belly. I do crunches 200x a day but i observed the lower part of my stomach is sagging and not burning. can you give an advice? thanks

  • @cOLnzkiE cardio is the best thing for belly fat

  • @MGSmokedout you mean jogging?

  • @cOLnzkiE yea and other cardio routines this channel actually has a great one

  • fuck this is hard to do

  • WHAT! BEGINNINING EXCERCISE?

  • Duke nuke em! Hahahahaha!!!!!

  • Because of this excersise I know what the 2kg dumbells are for :)

  • Thanks duke nukem it helped alot.

  • @BigMeetch123 lohohoool

  • This video shows pretty well the lateral raise exercise.

    For more info about the workout, check out: youtube.com/watch?v=aw9aiI58ZU­A

  • i do this but one arm at a time, i find i can do it longer and it's less tiring, is that a good idea or should i do both at the same time?

  • @XvBiBleMaNvX i suggest raise them both at same time, make sure your body is not moving, if u think u are moving,u should lower the weight until you do it without moving which is the right way and not get injured. best is to do it till you can, then leave both dumbbells and do it with just your arms..good luck enjoy

  • Willieo is correct; lower the poundage and focus on very strict and slow form instead. I've found cycling MSM can assist with calcium and joint issues. Great comment.

  • this is the hardest arm workout for me D:

  • @Drewandy22 Agree, I'm fucked after 3sets.

  • @Drewandy22 this is hard for everyone to do. lol

  • @Drewandy22

    I agree, but it gives a challenge ^.^

    The demonstrator in the video has been doing these for quite some time, way to go!

    As for me, I am currently using 10 lb weights to rep these, and their getting easier every week.

    Good luck and good work on your training.

    Jm

  • @Drewandy22 Boy, do I get you. I can never do them right!

  • @Drewandy22 its a shoulder workout, not arm

  • @suparpowers WOW, so you can read...and tell people ...exactly what the workout is about !?

    You're an incredible example of a skinny loser fucktard.

    STFU, get off the internet and pluck some cotton.

  • @rocksparadox woha why the fuck are you angry? i saw your profile picture and youre just a fat fuck. so shut up.

  • @suparpowers Nah skinny wanker. you can't tell that from my profile picture... I have 35 pound bells and I weigh under 200 pounds you magnificent dumbass....

    I am not angry ...I am trying to motivate you not to be a skinny fucktard loser anymore with a terrible excuse for a life. I've already seen so many here who think they can point out shit to people when they can't even tie their shoelaces. You're not the first, but you are a shining example.

  • @rocksparadox you never saw me in reallife so you don't know

    and yes i can tell that from your profile picture, you look like a fucking nerd with that rock on sign or whatever youre doing with your hands and your body got a form of a pear. typical internet tough guy. go lose some weight.

    youre all just mad cuz i said this was a shoulder workout instead of an "arm" workout? go throw your frustration of not reaching your goals at your mom and not at me.

  • @suparpowers Real life....are two words dumbass..and you're lying about ME being fat, for your information my bmi =25 you fucking skinny bitch.

    mrja hij is tog maar dik joh dus t maakt weinig uit

  • @suparpowers jhaa indd wrm bestaan dat soort mensen.. hij spot met geloof huidskleur.. en om dit soort doelloose dingen.. wat een flikker. ;p

  • @Drewandy22 That's because it's not an arm workout, it's a shoulder exercise.

  • @Shutou7 so the shoulder is not your arm? its your back?!..

  • @hoernchen92 Shoulder = shoulder.

  • I got a really nice video on my page for shoulders! "The Predator Press!" It's not for the faint of heart so not for beginners!

  • what is a good amount of reps to do? how many sets?

  • 426,008 have viewed this video obviously he is doing something right

  • an excellent shoulder exercise; one that has served me well these many years :)

  • there just too hard

  • XD I Belive I Can Flyyy

  • CAUTION! Exercises like this have the weight at the maximum extension away from the body thus the potential for muscle, ligment and tendon damage is increased. Lateral raises and Alt. Arm raises to name two exercies are NOT a monkey see, monkey do exercise. Due to varations in shoulder joint construction varying a good deal person to person, never attempt to over raise your arms just the because you see some other guy can raise higher than you can.

  • @willieofroanoke havnt been able to work out for a week now cause of a rotator cuff injury it sucks gonna have to stick to leg work outs for a while :P thumbs on the advice

  • @willieofroanoke havent been able to work out for a week now cuz of rotator cuff injury from lift my arms to high gona have to focus on legs now :P good advice thumbs up

  • @willieofroanoke Sexist? Other guy? Go fuck yourself, sexist scum!

  • @willieofroanoke Should I avoid this exercise altogether I work my chest more than my back? I have "sabotaged" my back because my chest has grown, pulling the shoulders forward, so there's a bit of joint pain in my shoulders now.

  • @willieofroanoke

    This, I fucked up my shoulders doing this, it healed after about a week but it hurt like fuck trying to do any other exercise that meant my arms were at shoulder level.

    Maybe lighter weights could prevent this, I started off with 15lb weights.

  • @CJYOUFCKINBUSTER

    This is a hard and painful one for me too. I have a old rotator cuff injury in right shoulder and doing these with even just 10 pounds is painful, Couple things you can try. Do them sitting down on a exercise bench that has near vertical back support. Also try rotating your shoulders a few degrees forward and you don't have to extend all the way. Even pro body builders don't use heavy weight on this one. Try alternate arm raises.

  • @willieofroanoke

    Thanks.

  • I see several people saying shoulder exercises hurt or are hard to do. They can be. The problem is likely your supraspinatus tendon which can get inflamed and rubs against the head of your humurus bone and other nearby structures. Just raisng your arm over your head can be painful and may not even be possible. Can result in requiring surgery and can if severe enough not be reverseable due to clacification. So always use lighter weights for shoulder routines.

  • Cont 2

    Varation, Take a heavier weight, using BOTH arms, position weight in front of you in middle of your body as low as wherever your arms hang naturally without bending over. Slow raise to shoulder height and repeat always keeping arms straight without locking elbow.

  • Cont 1

    To work the front deltoid, do standing alternate dumbbell raises. Again use light weights! Begin with arms at side palms down.Extend one arm at a time straight upextending out in front of you but NEVER higher than shoulder height. Do all reps in the set with one arm, then do the same number of reps with other arm, then repeat for other sets. This one too can hurt and you might hear some creeking and pops from your elbow or shoulder. If it turns to pain. STOP!

  • This can be a PAINFUL and tough exericse because done wrong it can put high stress on your elbow joints. If you haven't done it before use VERY light weight, like 5 or 10 pound dumbbells. Do NOT lock your elbows, do NOT raise over shoulder height. If you experience any pain in elbows, even a little, bend more at elbows and move arms slightly forward, you'll still get the same effect, but without the pain. This works mainly the middle or side deltoid.

  • Oh snap! Okay I kept going above my shoulders and burning out early.

  • How necessary is this exercise for shoulder development? For example, could I get a full shoulder exercise doing just push presses and military presses?

  • @Ohjjin no this works the side of your shoulder muscle

  • can you do with just one dumbell?

  • this workout and some pushups are a good "fake it" for the night swelling. if you do this 10 minutes a day, it shows... and when you stop, one session really plumps the muscle easy... for me.

  • Christ fuck this exercise kills me

  • Can you do it one shoulder at a time??

  • can you do this sitting down

  • @44ronan72  Yes

  • it sucks having long arms =/

  • this guys videos are the best, i'm always on here trying to find the proper form for different excersizes, and i end up having to put up with horseshit personalities with little emphasis on proper form, this video was exactly what i was looking for

  • wish my gym was that empty...great physic by the way bro. :)

  • @BrainStorm88 it doesnt make any effects it give all the pressure on your elbows and hands + it may hurt you,, just raise till your elbows are in the same line with your shoulders :D

  • what should be the best weight as in feeling, very easy, easy, normal, tough or toughest for building mass? my first 10 reps are normal, second bit harder and last i can just about get it, but my shoulders are very weak. im better at compounds with decent weight (around 50 - 60 kg for back, 40 - 50 for chest, and biceps and triceps can handle alot too, im just stuck with my shoulders

  • whats your max?

  • nice video.thank you

  • I just started working out and i'm a beginner, what exercises should i do? I want to get bigger arms and some abs.

  • @Ziggyflavel1 jack off with both hands and hold that stomatch in make those abs tight

  • @buggeazy102 Hahahaha

  • @Atli418 lol

  • We hit it off so well after another visit  busizz4me.info

  • after you do say 15 or 20 should you rest to let some oxygen flow or anything? or do you do non stop for each differing type of lifting?

  • @GameMasterKyoji You would need to take a rest. Every time you do a set amount of reps, that's called one set. For this exercise, you would probably do about 3 sets. Between each set, you would need to rest for a bit to let the muscle recouperate and prepare for the next set. If your first set has 15 reps in it, your next one will probably only have about 12, and the third: about 8-10. Or you can decrease the weight for eah set so that you can manage to do 15 reps for evey set.

  • @GameMasterKyoji do rest to long never want the muscles to cool off keep them tight and hot

  • Hi, should the arms be totally straight or can i bend them slightly?

    Thank You

  • I tried these and I have long arms, my shoulders felt like they were gonna pop up and out of the socket or something. I tried smaller weight and then that wasn't enough for a work out! Tips?

  • Do one at a time, not together. and use like 10lbs.. trust me if you do enough it will always burn in the end..

    also keep your arm slightly bent at the elbow dont keep it fully extended

  • @Vash2Red I know the feeling. First off, it does kinda feel that way. Second, you don't wanna keep your arms straight all the way, you need a slight (read it SLIGHT not as a NINETY-DEGREE) bent at the elbows so as not to create an unstable structure with your arm.

    I do it by holding the dumbells right in front of me, with the edge of the weight touching me, so as to give that slight bent to the elbows.

    And, lateral shoulders are a small muscle - doesn't handle too much weight.

  • @Vash2Red stay with the light wieghts do more reps you will feel it

  • just ask me a question ....

    lift weight burn calories ?

  • @foroeste1 yes, it does. any sort of excercise will burn calories.

  • @foroeste1 U'll burn calories with every weight, but when training heavy u burn more! So wait no longer and become a beast!

  • this is very hard excercise u want to make sure to do it with very little weight the firsts times

  • Take the "english captions" off you can't see what's being done.

  • Those are so hard with 35-60 pound weights

  • he makes it look easy, i cant keep my arms that even and stand so still i always lean a little

  • Don't you benefit more when you do one at a time?

  • @Icecube88 isolation is always good. leaning lateral raises are by far my FAVORITE exercise for the middle delt.
