Lateral raises aren’t needed

[Foreverbrad]

I always did my lateral raises at the end of my workout so I never noticed this before.

This time I just did them right after overhead press and I only managed 4-5 reps of a weight I can normally rep for 15-20.

Overhead press is enough for side delts. Lateral raise is a meme.

his shoulders aren't the result of lateral raises, they're the result of years of androgen abuse.

you ain't getting big shoulders with roids alone

I do.

if it works for you ig, i didn't do overhead press for months now

Overhead press will make you significantly shorter. U can lose up to 1 inch of height after a heavy overhead press session. And dont come up with muh temporary. Even if it was u still need to sleep to recover that lost height

 

[VenatorLuparius]

90% of people can't do propre lateral raises: they cheat with their traps and upper back.

I don't do lateral raises with dumbbells, I use the seated machine.

I get Big side deltoides only thanks to this exercise

lateral raises are the best ur just not doing them right
the lateral delt is not an easy muscle to target or even hypertrophy for that matter especially for natties

I've heard from a high IQ YouTuber that overhead press is the ultimate shoulder workout and it trains the sides too

 

[thereallegend]

Overhead press compresses spine and makes you shorter

Nippard shows this isn’t true

 

[Unsh]

El press por encima de la cabeza comprime la columna y te acorta

why?

 

[R@m@]

they are the best for side delts, bench, pull ups and lateral raises are all you need for upper body

 

[thereallegend]

why?

The gravity of lifting that much weight sobre tu cabeza compress the spine

There is no way OHP will permanently shrink you. The millions of men who have been OHPing for years would have noticed themselves shrinking an inch, especially the manlets who pay attention to their height. It might compress your height with heavy weights but by the time you sleep and wake up, your spine should have decompressed and you're back to your normal height. What's the issue in losing height (presumably) on your OHP days? also most people can't even OHP heavy enough for this to have any significant affect. Wouldn't squats have the same effect? you're putting pressure on your spine/body kinda similarly.
Do you agree?

Temporarily until you sleep and wake up back to normal right?

avoid overhead press, deadlifts, weighted squats like the plague

Why not more than 8

Too little time

How can it be permanent? if it was, the fitness guys would have said something. Don't you think 5'7 5'6 gym guys who do heavy squats/OHP would notice they've lost an inch? millions of guys doing this and none of them ever say they lost an inch, atleast not permanently for them to notice and complain?
I don't DL or Squat but enjoy OHP...

 

[thereallegend]

but enjoy OHP...

do side and lateral raises
lat pull down

men who do deadlift, squats and ohp lose height

those who do yoga, basketball and swimming gain height

where do YOU wanna be?

I have home gym so i don't have access to machines. I will do more research on this subject to determine whether the change is permanent or not. So far i am not convinced.

It's temporary. Tyler1 5'6 confirmed since he was young, deadlift/squats heavy, he's still 5'6. So is everyone else in similar position. I don't believe it.

 

[Orc]

Are you sure?

if the body part wasn't lagging then it wouldn't require you to 'spam' an exercise right.

 

[kalefartbomb]

The shoulder muscles don't really work in isolation. Pretty much any press or raise will activate the lateral delts and it doesn't take much to stimulate growth as they are a very small muscle. People really overthink it. What gives them a round look is 1) obviously roiding, and 2) being low enough bodyfat that the triceps and delts are separated. If you have soft flabby arms your delts will never look good.

Lateral raises are the only thing I do besides hanging and biking.

 

[longjohnmong]

real niggas do klokov press

Single arm cable raises mog lateral

Don’t listen to @thereallegend either he’s trying to prevent you from making gains for some reason or just a complete idiot. None of those exercises will make you shorter and even if they did it would be the same as the way your spine compresses throughout the day from standing. As soon as you sleep, it will decompress

 

[GigaAscender]

no

Low IQ, if that was the case we could all stretch to increase our permanent height. If it concerns you just dead hang after.

Cable lateral raises work far better for me then dumbbell lateral raises personally
