- Should you lean in or lean away when doing dumbbell lateral raises? In this short, I'll explore three different lateral raise techniques and explain why leaning in during dumbbell lateral raises might be the most effective approach for side delt growth!
Bro just made everything simple and easy to digest while providing no bullshit, ads, or wasted words. Thank you, you're awesome. Please keep doing this.
Why is everyone a bro?
Bro bro thats what I'm sayin, everyone is bro
Bro, isn’t on gear so I don’t believe anything he says🤣🦾
@@Shomethescripturehow dumb is that😂😂
@@JMD_25 Everyone knows the gear heads have all the knowledge on why they aren’t on gear duh
Bro just removed all 3,000,000 tutorials saying leaning out was the best😭
but that was with cable wasn't it?
@@Yajoy-kh3kcI’ve seen them say it with dumbbells
new research = new conclusion
with the now more abundance of research saying the stretch part of the movement is the most important for muscle growth, that even doing just the stretch part can sometimes be better, it make sense to modify the exercise to have more tension in the stretch part
@@minegamerpro1308we’ve known for decades that stretch is good, but it wasn’t as popular as it is now
Leaning in is better with dumbbells for the reasons he just showed, leaning out is better for cable because it evens the resistance across the range of the rep
Love how you say there’s nothing wrong with all three options, you did it so respectfully and clearly
One could argue that being less efficient than others is to be wrong but i agree with you. It's not wrong, it's just worse.
I think this is a bot comment
@@u3434-b4vinternet is dead fr
@@angrydragonslayer well one issue with it is you can only train one arm at a time, so it's not the best for people who don't have alot of free time
@@alatsno1656 that's ridiculous it doesn't take me any longer to get my lateral raises done

bro says thanks!
I'm too lazy to do one hand at a time, I only do two simultaneously
There was something so refreshing about this not looping into itself and just having that closure
Agreed! Just let it end!!
Word
I hate those looping videos. What a garbage trend.

@@twomillionbagelsGreat vegetables.
Lifting for most my life, yet never had much shoulder growth. Now, by deemphasizing shoulder press and overemphasizing lateral raise with the lean-in variation as well as cables, I'm seeing noticeable gains at 49 years old. Thank you Jeff! Keep it up!
Yeah I stopped doing shoulder press as well since Inclined bench or dip takes care of front delts ...

You win 😂
lol I came here to say that 😂

"Why I oughtta" ahh
Oh shit!! 😂
This dude's videos are so damn smart. Love it.
Mf right
how
Dude explains gravity poorly and he is a genius. Adds up.
*Friends, I did 8 one arm pull ups, please support me*
True. I still feel like the other leaning variation is better cause it hits more of the delt at 90 degrees. He's right in that you can't really cheat his way.
Bro’s bringing back that early 20th century bodybuilder fashion
lol
Does this happen because he is natural?

Good stuff as usual. Lean in when doing dumbbells and lean out when using the cables. Gold nuggets for free!
Thank you for your practical logic, It all makes sense to me now! 🎉🎉
No. You do not lean out when using cables. You lean in toward the weight stack. Read Doug Brignole's book. This is where Jeff is getting the info.
WRONG. You do the same thing. Lean in with both.
@@MrRossT1 You don't have to lean with cables because there's always constant tension.
@@codybulluss1987 correct
Just tried this and I can literally feel better activation on my side delts when I use this variation, thanks man 👏🏽
This stuff seems so simple when you explain it, but I never would’ve thought it myself. Beautiful stuff
i love the way i actually understand what you're saying and now have properly learned something really useful. great teacher. thank you
I tried the lean in lateral raise and wow, that's the most humbled I've ever been 😂 I went from doing 20lbs normally for 20 reps to 10lbs for 15 with the nastiest side delt pump of my life, literally felt like my shoulders were gonna fall off once I was finished, thanks Jeff!
I love his small tips that could change life
His small tip
Nah it might help you in your workout but I'm sure it won't change your life 😅
@@NC7011bigger delts will change anyone’s life
If your entire life entails only delt work then absolutely
That's what she said
These small tips achieving more stretch and ROM in various generic exercises is radically changing my life.
Radically changed youre life?

@@CemAltuntas-j7u 😁
Radically changing your life? Dawg than that life aint much is it
maybe they were watching a Playlist of these tips instead of watching where they were going while crossing the street and got hit by a car, seriously injuring them
I don't get it. What were you doing before? Picking up the barbell and just squeezing? Like how were you working out on any level and not intuitively understanding it's about ROM
I started working out this year because I became a dad. Needed muscle to haul a kid around. Never been strong. Jeff and Mike are the first two that gave me guidance leading to real gains. I have never seen growth like this before.
I’ve never commenter on Yourube in my life…. Leaning in lateral raise was magic. Thank you sir
He's not Lying
Don’t comment again

@@juliogarcia9738 Another man pushed him a little because he was embarassed that he got caught chatting shit in a video where he was too scared to say jeff's name. Guy was a coward.
I absolutely love how he says there's nothing wrong with the normal one
The editing on these videos is top notch, as is the info. ❤
explaining it with the circle graphic showing the tension is so helpful. i wish all gym videos were like that
Short King 👑
Truly a goated short. Just clean info that can easily help us
I see the double entendre
Love your content. Literally loved by everyone so much positivity. Keep up the good work bro
Honestly, Ive given up on DB lat raises altogether after moving to your recommendation of cables at hand height. Its so much more effective and less fatiguing.
Well, not everybody has access to cables. But if you do, yeah that's superior
Yh I’ve learned some invaluable tips from Jeff. The hand height cable raises and using the using the rear delt machine but with one facing the side, both have had incredible effects on growth
@@Nidarru resistance band costs what, 5 bucks? 10? it might be even better than cable
@@Chrontard No it isn't. It's only going to challenge the shortened position of the movement
@@Nidarrubands are pretty accessible, you just have less increment, but you can get around that by increasing reps or eccentric count
I love the fact that the tension under a deep stretch is making such a huge emergence in the lifting world. I lifted as teen without proper technique and eccentric control for years. Im 27, back into it, and doing controlled bottom stretch form has left me WITHOUT shoulder or knee pains like i had before. Education = gains
This video really helped clarify the technique for lateral raises. I always thought leaning away was the way to go, but leaning in makes so much sense for targeting the side delts.
Gamechanger. This even helped me stretch out a part of my shoulder that bothers me a lot. You're awesome.
Are people criticizing him ? Really all the progress I have with my upper body is thanks to his sciences basic tips and very well explained videos. I'm 60 years old , soooooo.
The only criticism here is that it's literally only 1/2 an inch on the eccentric that it's changing from a normal lateral raise.
@@peterman8848and you're wasting time cause you can't do both simultaneously. I think I'll just stay with the usual standing one
OK you wanna know and I'll tell you why Jeff's tips are not ideal, he classify himself as a science based content creator, but this tips are almost always draw from experience, and more his personal experience, take this lateral raise as example, that little angle on the bottom DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL, because at that angle your side delts simply doesn't work to support the weight on your arm, yes you and create some tension leaning sideways, but why? That's just some old time pump chasing, which does not add any mechanical tension only adding a tiny bit more metabolic stress, for normal people that will not give you gains, unless you are enhanced, but then Jeff is not enhanced he is natural.
You got results because you worked hard, this is what working out like, even if you do it the "wrong" way you will still get better, does not mean tips you followed did wonder, you did wonders to yourself.
And if you really value science bases tips, go see RP, a far better arsenal of knowledge.
@therocklau I strongly believe tgat working hard it's absolutely necessary to get good results, however a proper form and good technique are the key . How you can do it wrong and get the results you want , when may you will be working in different muscles.
These videos are killing it! Short, informative, no BS, straight to the point. Luv it.
The good thing about the regular method is training both delts at the same time
Yeah, saves time)
@@tomashgrey2211yeh like the world is waiting for you to do something to save it from a nuclear war or some it
@@ali09gaming58 not everyone is unemployed like u sir
@@ilyas_XD ☠️
That is actually worse btw.
The "menno henselmans " lateral raise! The Menno!
Yuuup, been using it for weeks now and it kills your side delts lol
The Menno
Watched menno talk about this awhile back. Really lights the shoulders up with very light weight
I love this version for when I don’t have cables. Coach Kassem has a sweet one using DBs on a bench that looks cool too
@@pierrea3094 could you share the link?
This is awesome dude ! And love how you didn’t disrespect the other methods either I’ll have to give it a shot
Jeffff got that 70s bodybuilding look
😂😂😂He doesn't even have that 1920's physique much less 1970's.
He has the pants from 70s
it's the small traps.
Dude, youre the most natural looking dude ive ever seen doing a tutorial
He’s also like 5’4 so don’t be too deceived
@@zclan4130doesnt negate the point that he looked natural
@@zclan4130exactly at 5'4 that physique is definitely attainable naturally
@@azhimahmad5652 youre brainwashed by all these steroid influencers he has a good physique
@@kye4230 he didn’t say he didn’t have a good physique?
And yeah when you’re a midget, it’s easy to look lean. That’s my only point
If you use cable you can do the “lean away” and still get the tension. 😊
With cables you don't need to lean at all. The cable positioning is important. Adjusting to have the pulley right where your hand naturally rests at your side is the best for tension in the stretched position.
@@DuncanL7979 this.. Jeff even has videos showing this.
@@DuncanL7979I can attest to this, I have been doing rear fly and latter raises like Jeff said and I have seen more gains and better feelings on my lifts all around
Bro is built like the dwarfs in Runescape💀

"We dwarves are natural sprinters"
Jeff, I used the lean-in variation just yesterday evening and got onset muscle soreness already this noon! I've never had side delts sore in my life. Thank you so much
One more tip to get more stretch, you don't have to stop at your torso on the bottom. You can pass the dumbbell in front of you at the bottom (lean forward a bit if necessary) to get even more stretch with tension.
Nice pyjamas Jeff.
I dig the outfit. 30s fitness is sharp.
he just needs a pair of Uggs to complete it.
*Friends, I did 8 one arm pull ups, please support me*
I love how the short is edited to explain things better ❤ new sub 🖤
Ever since I started incorporating the DB Super ROM Lateral Raise that is shown by Dr. Mike from RP I haven't gone back to any other DB Lateral Variation. It's very challenging and I've seen better growth and carry over compared to the traditional ROM Lateral Raise. So for me, the Super ROM variation is best 💪
You mean bilateral with max ROM high to the sky? Love it. Also great traps exercise.
Personally never enjoyed it. I call them lu raises. But i have to reduce the load quite a bit in order to do the top part. Which isn’t much side delts anyway. And then after I can still crank about a few more reps but can’t get it to the top and now have burning traps with little Delt burn. Felt like a waste of time and energy.
However I did start going slightly above parallel which has helped drastically
I didn’t understand a single thing you said
@@XGoken u lack reading comprehension evidently.
Dragon Ball Super?
But would you opt for the lean-in lateral raise over a cable lateral raise?
Lean-in is just the dumbbell equivalent of standing cable lateral raise, if you place the cable position correctly
lean in on the cable lateral raise too
Guess it depends on how you have your cable positioned
Cables are vastly superior and no one can change my mind.
@@aboveaura4817 all I do is old school training simple heavy and raw and I bet I have better shoulders than you lil bro been lifting for 10 years 225lbs 9% bodyfat 5'11 height with time proven old school training
Love your videos, tired of my old life and am going through a complete overhaul. This includes the way I look, and my fitness, I do not have an option for a gym at the moment so these videos really help.
So funny to see people criticise him like they even understand 5% of is knowledge
Chill. This is not quantum physics.
This is wrong anyways. Basic physics.
At least is not the fetal position on the bench you were promoting before 🤦♂️
wow ive never even considered leaning in... ive only heard that leaning out is the best, but jeff just perfectly explained why leaning in is the best
Leaving a comment for the algorithm, keep this format going Jeff, much thanks.
This video was pleasing to the eye the way you transfer through each scene. And makes me feel good about myself for not knowing this
I did a horizontally reclined variation today. Seemed stupid at first, but it felt super effective. There was no involvement of traps whatsoever. Will try it out for a month to see how it goes 🤞
I'm demotivation with my GYM's Journey, accidentally your youtube pop up. Its made feel courage again to started GYM again to achieve body like you, definitely your lower body is my goals, thank you and keep upload the video on youtube 🎉
Jeff your videos are the best mate thanks for all the advice you give
Bro is so clear I’m subscribing and liking.
small tips but always straight to the point, thanks man
Thanks a lot for your content!!! I learn a lot, all based on papers and your knowledge. Best content creator ever! 💪🏾🇧🇷
Tried this after training for more than 30 years doing it the standard way and it works a treat💪
Straight and direct to the point. This is the way.
Jeff you are very clear and helpful as hell! Thank you 🙏🏽
I find these videos really helpful, thanks for doing them.
Science in ANY concept is fkn beautiful. Love to see it in strengthening the human body.
Absolutely outstanding video! Highly informative and insightful. Thank you so much for all the amazing videos! I greatly appreciate the great content that you provide to help us achieve our goals. 🙌
Oh my god, that makes a lot of mechanical sense I'll definitely be given that one a try greetings from the UK
Have been thinking about this very thing for a while and you just answered my question, perfectly.
Life's amazing and we are honoured to be living in one of the best time lines where knowledge is vast, goodwill to all,will help my amazing shoulders get even better.
Yo beast best lifting vid I’ve seen in a second like the lean in idea never thought of that. God speed
this is actually smart. Will try it tomorrow at the gym!
Just did this excersices at the gym and it felt great. The lacteral completely felt different for me. Thanks
tension on the stretch is science backed for growth great tutorial.
i tried the lean in way and oh my GOD it feels amazing thank you jeff
Thank you, Jeff. You are a gem. 💎
This was good and that is the best way for standing lateral raises
I am always grateful for the education!
man your content is great
I tried the lean in and like it better. Thank you!
This is the best idea I tried this before and it really does work
That form on the first one is really good 👍
this is both so simple yet so genius
I started leaning in a little over a month ago, definitely helps to keep that very much needed time under tension for the shoulder. it feels good and even better than doing a regular stand up
Glad I found this guy!
I have just found your page and i love it ❤ keep going! 🙌🏼
Interesting take, I’m gonna stick with the standard 90° one for now and switch it up once I progress a bit more. Thanks 👍
I'll be back after a Month.
Someone like this so i could be reminded 💪😂
Great visual editing
Tried it and it's absolutely great
Bands ftw! Matches strength curve beautifully.
Explained beautifully with those muscle animations
Definitly adding this method to my shoulder routine!
I don’t work out but thank you for the interesting information, logical analysis and effective communication
Good and straight to the point.
Been leaning in since your video!
Leaning inwards was the best transition i made with lateral raises. Definitely can tell a difference
the fun part is i FELT the delt stretch through this video, great demonstration and visuals
I'm using this technique sir. Thanks for the tip!
Jeff is a genius.
Gonna try that tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
I agree. Ive added them into my routine and i feel much better side delt activation
I completely agree, I've corrected most of my form from experience and what feels better on the joints.
