How many weeks before you switch up and do a different exercise for the shoulders?

@KhmaiBodian559 There is no better way. Less weight + more reps = definition / tone
More weight + fewer reps = muscle gain / strength – It’s the body natural responses to the micro traumas which are experienced in the muscle fibres. If you do heavy training for example muscle fibres tear. A good mix and larger quantities of quality proteins can help rebuild the muslce fibre but instead of repair as a single strand they can split into two, or three etc etc. Obviously, it’s a very slow process.

@NickHex81
Yeah i found out that i’ve been doin lateral raises wrong for the past year
14. July 2010 at 7:48 pm
@libetta I alternate between 10-15 reps with 20’s to 15-20 reps on 10 lbs for 4 sets.
my thing is, the moment i feel my traps doing any of the work, i know i’ve gone until “failure”.

@NickHex81
i use 8lbs now, gonna add 2 lbs each month. how many lifts do you do with this exercise? should 10 repeats be enough? and how many sets?

I would personally recommend you don’t go that far down and you add a twist. From 0-30 degrees it is the supraspinatus muscle causing the abduction of the humerous so you want to minimize it by starting just above the furthest below position. To activate most activation of the deltoids, which should be the target here, add a twist. at the bottom your palms should face forward and at the top of the movement they should face backwards as if pouring out a jug of water. much better way try it !!!

@Dlarin000
I’m thinking many do. On the bright side, a small amount of weight goes a long way here.

I have trouble with this excerises even with light weight
14. July 2010 at 10:41 pm
@richards1986 So I should do shrugs and lateral dumbell raises, not just shrugs?
Thanks.

@bpriester7693 da , ur muscles get used so there may be no pain
but they still grow , make sure to use enough weight , not too light
14. July 2010 at 11:26 pm
Nobody expresses the usefulness of this exercise for traps, doing shrugs alone without stimulating the muscles closest to the neck is not a good look.

@Danbo342 Try bending your elbow a little when doing lateral raise, it’s wasy to have a rotator cuff injury when doing this exercise.

@wudthedamaja so you mean even if i don’t have the next day soreness my muscles could still be growing in size?
15. July 2010 at 12:15 am
@bpriester7693 I think you mean being sore when you say “waking up with deltoid pain”. It’s a common misconception that being sore is a sign of a good workout–it’s not. As long as you are progressing with heavier weights + more reps, you are fine. Don’t worry about whether or not you are sore the next day.

15. July 2010 at 3:18 am
i’m doing this now along with other weight exercises. how heavy are these? i’m starting off with 4lbs, then 6 and so forth to 10
15. July 2010 at 3:21 am
@Danbo342 i kinda have the same thing with my knees when i do squats or leg press. I found that if i do the relevant stretches for a few mins i dont get the click thing anymore. maybe itll do the same for your shoulders
15. July 2010 at 3:45 am
First video that helps a bit
15. July 2010 at 4:01 am
when I do these, or military presses or any shoulder workout they always work my traps but never my actual deltoids. I want to wake up with the deltoid pain (on the sides) because I want them to grow rounder and get my shoulders broad. Is my form wrong or something? I really want some big delts. I need help
