MuscleDog.com Presents: Bent Over Dumbbell Lateral Raise

[MuscleDogFitness]

I dont see his back arching at all.. His core is tight and his form is perfect.. This is a very hard position to maintain with heavy weights..

i think if you keep your elbows straight he is gonna be activating the post delts more efficiently, the way he is doing it he is activating the post delts as well but he is also using the mid trapz since it looks more like a row movement. also his back is a little arched this on the long run may cause lower back pain

isnt he working the posterior trap ??

@Teenssj2

He is working his posterior delts.

When you work traps it is a vertical movement...ex shrugs

[Teenssj2]

@MuscleDogFitness Ohh yes ofcourse, I meant post. delt not trap,thx for correcting

I thought you extended your arms straight on the way up. I want to learn to do this properly, but everyone seems to do it differently

[Waqorat]

You're right. I'm also a bit confused now...

When you bend your elbow you are able to contract your posterior delts better... however there are different ways/angles to work the muscle

There are different ways to work your posterior delts.. Bending your elbows is just one way of doing it
