that "pushing weight away" cue is exactly what i needed. i was doing more of the "lifting" reps, and just sitting in my chair and moving my arms with no weight, if i push away, i can feel my delts activating properly. i will try this when i get to the gym tomorrow.

I’ve always explained it to clients that just couldn’t get it like this: imagine if there was a rope or chain around your body at your elbows and I told you to break out of it. You wouldn’t shrug up, you’d push your arms out and up in a sweeping motion to break those bindings. It’s the little cues that can make all the difference as you so eloquently explained here.

I am 58 years old, I lifted weights most of my young life, and I just got back at it , this time for health reasons, and you are 100% correct, I for got all about “hulking” , went light , concentrated on form and quality on EVERY rep and guess what, I was able to “wake” my body’s muscle memory up back, and even though at my age it could be a painfull undertaking , everything is going great. I do some thermogenics before hitting the weights and it helps with the flexibility, I walk 30/45 minutes before I start my work out Edit to add: I went IF/low carb and together with the routine, I was able to loose 70 pounds. Though I am careful about working on those rotator cuffs, they are a very delicate part of the body and going light with a good form is a must

I have been lifting for 6 years now, and you finally solved my issue with activating my traps at heavier weights with lateral raises. The cue of "pushing" the weight away was the PERFECT cue to help me finally correct that. I'm so happy I found this (albeit a bit later haha). Thank you! Keep crushing it this season - you look incredible!
@MPoweredChristianMinistries

Good tips. I’d add two more to the list: do a slight 15% tilt with your back so you’re slightly leaning forward. It will help prevent front delt activation and increases the mind-muscle connection between the lateral head and the rear delt. Also the lean allows the weights to come in front of the body at the bottom increasing the range of motion and adding a stretch of the lateral head at the bottom.
@judefrigerio4384

One final note: All good advice. Two extra tips for better results 1. Use the scapular plane instead of perpendicular plane 2. Lean torso forward appropriately 25° (outside medial head directly in opposition to gravity) when standing upright at 90° front head dominates.

I disagree with thumbs down during lateral raise. This is a perfect position for shoulder impingement. It may not happen quickly but over time it very well may. I would expect a professional like her would know this but it amazes me how so many people do lateral raises wrong in this manner. Keep your palm parallel to the ground and your thumbs won't be facing down. Better yet, lean forward a little bit as well and it puts your shoulders in an even favorable position.

realizing why i never got very big with all muscle groups 30 years ago even though i worked out very "hard" 5 days a week for 2 hours/day. My "common sense" of what i "thought" was correct was nowhere near the mark. Very humbling. Also my assuming i could do it right without a teacher led me to a serious tear in my shoulder/chest muscle/tendon which made me unmotivated to train ever again after it never healed strong enough to handle end of set strained negatives even with reps of 15 lighter weight. And yes, i tried several attempts every few years to veryyyyy slowly tone n strengthen muscles tendons ligaments with light weight very gradually increasing weight from sets of 30 to sets of 25,20,15 etc over a period of 3 months each time. ALWAYS learn from a coach, mentor, or master with everything you do in life. GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks

2:44...hold the dumbell like a pitcher of water and lift as though you are pouring water out of the pitcher to the front. Not dumping the entire thing at once, but a slow gentle pour. This puts the elbow into position, and the whole arm into a horizontal plane. I'm rehabbing a shoulder injury from a mtn bike accident, and I use light weight and 12+ reps. If your lower back is bothering you, there is no reason you can't stabilize your base and core while doing one arm at a time. Do both arms when the lower back allows.

I finally found it... I recently started lifting weights and one of the workouts in a routine I got was lateral raises and I'd tried doing them and found that it just hurt and I lost any confidence in my ability to do the workout correctly. Even after watching several videos on how to do it, none of them gave me confidence. This one did it. I'm fully ready for the next time this exercise comes up. The pushing the weight out rather than lifting it is a HUGE tip that I didn't see anywhere else and makes perfect since as lifting is exactly what I was doing. Only thing I don't have confidence on is when doing just 10 lbs, my left elbow and forearm were in significant pain and I'm hoping the bend and rotation will help alleviate that. Thanks for a very informative video!

That's the way I learned it as well Steve, in the 70's, however a good variation I just recently learned (your never to old to start learning) is doing laterals with a slight lean forward. When you do it this way there is no need to tilt the hand forward with the thumb downward. I learned that from Jeff Cavaliere at ATHLEAN-X. It's a nice variation (not a new way, just a different take) and I alternate between the way you mentioned, the old school tilt like your pouring water, and the Jeff's method of leaning forward without the need to tilt your thumb forward.

Excellent advise. I’m a little surprised you didn’t mention or describe the slight bend at the waist ( that you are clearly doing in the positive demonstrations) . The most thorough and helpful description of this exercise I’ve ever read was by Larry Scott, who really emphasizes using a mirror to just barely see the rear deltoid at the top of the range of motion as an indication that your form is correct. What I think is most valuable that I’d not heard until this video is the idea of pushing the weight away...I tried it and it's genuinely helpful. I’ve been training for 35 years and love coming across new, useful ideas...so thank you!

How about looking at the real anatomy of the the shoulder. In the first exercise your shoulder is getting destroyed. Your in internal rotation and doing lateral raises. You are causing impingement of the Supraspinatus tendon and your humerus is banging up against your acoromion. Which could also cause bursitis because their is a bursa sac above the acromion. How about putting the shoulder in external rotation to to clear the acromion to work out the medial deltoids. #SafetyFirst

for such a basic exercise, I wouldn't expect there would be much to say about it, but you have some really fantastic tips!

@sam park gym myth? lmao is actual science, the anatomy of your shoulder isnt ment to twist into internal rotation and then lift weight for repeated repetitions

Quite true, excessive internal rotation is potentially damaging. There's a bony structure on the top of the humerus called the tubercal.By excessively internally rotating you're slamming it into the ac joint in the shoulder at the top of the movement. This causes an impingement of the supraspinatus, long head biceps tendon and a bursa sac.

Such a great video! The "pushing" instead of "lifting" really helped me. I wasn't moving my shoulders but I wasn't using my arms more than I should have.
