Elbows need to be higher than thr wrists like pouring water out of a pitcher, watch the pros like Rich Gaspari, Charles Glass.

[sunny123able1]

isit me or is this the friggin hardest excercise in the world

[JUMPMAN23MCM]

I was always taught to turn your wrists slightly inward so when you're at the top, your elbows are higher than your hands. It makes it more difficult but is definitely better for you by developing your rear delt and rotator cuff.

do not straighten your arm unless u want to feel what an armbar feels

[gee1105]

well that is a laterial raise and u shouldn't straighten the arm because all u are doing is puttin presure on the elbow

[davecyco]

What are you afraid you might accidentally get stronger? ;)

I did it yesterday straight arm (20 lb) in between doing sets of bent presses (88 lb, 70 lb, 53 lb) and OA OH presses and OA military, followed by handstands and suspension dips, all with straight arms. You'll be fine.

Do you also avoid locking out on your lifts?

[Harmin87]

I find it better to do them one at a time, that way you can focus your energy into one arm at a time. What I do is maintain my balance by holding onto a support with one side but leaning a bit to the dumbbell and then raising it. I can go about 10-15 pounds heavier one arm at a time like this then together. Plus its great if one of your arms is weaker than the other.

[mattread95]

can u do these seated?

[fallis123]

i find this easier doing 1 arm at a time

[rayachheuy]

People always tell me to keep my arm straight during the side raises. I was just wondering what the differences would be.

[babyoil1]

wtf? no.. just do it like the guys on the video.. you'll be fine

[david19846]

if you bend it makes it easier, like craka said. go light and do it right.

[thinkofsomethincleva]

If you straighten your arms too much then other muscles come into play to stabilize. If you bend your elbows slightly you can focus more on the delts.

[lordOFbrooklyn]

those look more like upright rows, not lateral raises...

[gee1105]

wot is ur definition to an upright row like

[metham101]

id say about 32lbs atleast mate

[marcuskaye]

Lets say that you lift 36 lb doing arm curls, how much weight should you be packing for shoulders?

[BitingOsprey]

Use a weight where you can do them slowly with good form.

If you have to jerk then you are using too much weight.

[TheWatchGoesTick]

its whatever feels right. what you want is to work your hardest, without going over the edge and pulling a muscle. the hardest part of weightlifting is discerning the weight in my opinion, because its different for everyone

[crakarmada]

dont assume anything , go ligth and do it rigth, high reps to heat up at first

[Darkerfire23]

not much more than 20 pound

[david08106]

Only you should now...

[thoms1986]

shoulders are risky, easy to damage. So start slow and light weight, and increase after every excersice

[chrisroll92]

that dude is jacked!!!

[solarpeople10]

how many?
