Shoulder Exercises: Bent Over Lateral Raise

This is an exercise I used to do without a bench. I was familiar with the using the bench for this exercise, but I was not really convinced until I saw a bodybuilder on youtube who did the exercise this way. I started to do it with my head resting on the bench and never had lower back problems with the exercise anymore!

@jlvi13 true true, thanks your videos are really good ! you should be a personal trainer, do you know any ways to get harder stronger thighs and hamstrings ?

[jlvi13]

@AGEofBLAZE Deadlifts and hyperextensions are great to indirectly work out your hamstrings. Besides that lunges and squats are great. I always prefer to use the very basic exercises, because those are most effective. Another less common exercise that is great is the bulgarian lunge.

@bcfcjc Reading that comment shows me you definitely haven't had more then 1 month experience. That you are bigger has nothing to do with how effective a workout is. Getting results takes a very long time and some people make faster progress then others. I, for example, have always made very slow progress. I have 5 years experience in nutrition and working out, I know more about it then you do. The fact that I don't get as big has nothing to do with my knowledge.

@usafmilitary That has completely nothing to do with being lazy. I know the technique could have been better, but I made the video a year ago, I was still a little ignorant back then and had difficulty using proper technique. By resting your head (not neck) on a bench like this you will take of a lot of pressure and can fully focus on your shoulders. It also prevents you from using momentum and using the rest of your body to get the weight up.

@jlvi13 I'm not judging your experience or whatever but you need to arch your lower back, not flatten it, when doing this exersice because it can damage your lumbar disc, lack of proper technique can damage your spine in this exercise also you shouldnt rest your neck at all thats just being lazy with the workout.

[bcfcjc]

I'm certainly not going to take advice from you. I've been training a month and I'm already bigger(no supplements or protein shakes)

@tyciol Yeah, sorry about that, bad audio back then. Watch my new videos and see how it improved.

@uuukkjj Wide from front/back means your lateral delts are probably fine. But they don't make you look bigger from the side, shoulder width from the side is a combination of anterior/posterior deltoid, and usually it's the lack of posterior which makes it look bad.

The biceps and triceps may also contribute, I think people with big triceps (particularly the long head) have good looking shoulders.
