Hey fit skeletor here. I am only able to do lateral raises with 5kg dumbbells. Is this normal? What else can I do to improve this (besides, ofcourse, lateral raises)?
there's no need to go heavy on laterals anyway.
>>36640854
try going like twice as heavy and only doing one arm at a time, a little bit of body english/momentum is ok because the goal here is to progressively overload. don't stop doing the regular strict form ones, but throw in some heavy one arms so you progress
>>36640865
Shit press detected.
>>36640854
its normal. dont fall for the meme of going as hard as possible. its extremely important to keep your form good for shoulders since they fuck up so easy. go for reps over weight.
the best way to improve at something is to do it.
Gee wizz how do I get better at doing something? Doing it more? Nahhhh that can't be it.
Ignore what anon said. Lift heavy, 5kg gets you nowhere.
I do 15kg plate lateral raises above head
>>36640854
Stop doing that stupid shit lift and do some OHPs like a man
>>36640879
OHP is for fucking losers and memers.
No respectable lifter trains OHP.
>>36640876
>above head
Activates traps more then it does lateral.
>>36640882
Nice meme. It uses both you dingus because I'm still lifting the plates to my sides, then moving above head,
>>36640886
>most of the gains come from the initial lift
>i do 3x as much weight as you doing a different exercise using a muscle 3x the size of my delts
ignore retard. low weight, good form, high reps. there is absolutely nothing wrong with 5kgs if youre feeling a burn
>>36640912
You're retarded and think you can train like a roider. I know you're trying to mimic rich piano, but soon you'll realise that you need pump and not burn to build muscle as a natural lifter. The burn is about getting blood to the muscle, which helps build muscle for roiders.
Doing the FULL ROM lateral raises is not only HARDER but trains delts to a better extent as you do the hard initial part of the lift and still use dealt in the overhead part of the lift.
you think OHP is a trap exercise?
I just do front raises and OHP because I always feel like I am doing lateral raises wrong
Is there a good video that explains how to do it as if it was made for autistic children?
>>36640881
>no respectable lifter does ohp
....
>>36640881
lmao.. pussy
ohp trains the arms, shoulders, core, TRAPS.
But just keep doing your laterals and bench and wondering why you wont grow.
Fucking weakling
>>36640965
I'm not in it to grow, I'm in it to bench 200kg and above.>>36640950
I can't think fo a single strong lifter who does OHP.
KirillI sareychev and Spoto neither do OHP
>>36640926
ive not read a more wrong opinion on this board before.
lactic acid is not something that only helps roiders. in fact, a pump is literally defined by getting blood to the muscle so that it expands, so what the fuck are you talking about?
in fact, contrary to what you seem to be promoting, the majority of muscle gain does not come from the actual lifting of X amount of kgs. its about the time you spend under tension while exerting so much force. why the fuck would someone prioritise heavy on such an important and fragile muscle group when muscle gain is not dependent on the flat amount of weight you lift, but a balance between a weight you can handle and the time you can handle it for.
please be bait
>>36640865
>lifting light as natty
>expecting gains.
>>36640985
>I can't think fo a single strong lifter who does OHP
what are olympic lifters and strongman
>>36641005
Strongmen are showmen. Olympic lifters don't train the strict press they train the push press. The push press is largely leg drive and momentum.
>>36640993
>time under tension meme.
>>36640993
>time under tension
>pump = burn
Lmao
>>36641014
>>36641018
is this thread one big joke im unaware of? apparently the literal crayon of physics F=ma and a=m/s^2 does not apply to lifting pieces of metal
>>36641012
>Strongmen are showmen.
>a 200+ log press a show
And olympics trains both ohp and push.
>>36641067
>f=ma translates perfectly with type 1 and 2 muscle fibers
>>36641094
No Olympic lifters train the clean and jerk and the snatch. If you strict press either of these you get red lighted.
>>36641130
They still train it as a assistent lift dumb-ass
>>36641146
So you agree with me then that they don't prioritise OHP??? What's the issue?
>>36641184
prioritise =/= don't do OHP, which you claimed in >>36640985
>>36641094
>Holding a heavy weight for 10 extra seconds is cardio and will replace your muscle fiber type 2 with type 1
Alrighty then, guess for my next exercise I'm just going to throw shit in the air instead of lifting it because that means there's less time under tension
I can lift one plate on ohp yet still I do lateral raises with 8 kg.
Do like 5x12 lateral raises in controlled movement and this will burn your shoulders.
>>36640965
OHP also improves spinal stability greatly
>>36640854
Lat raises is not a high weight exercise bro. Just start low seight/good form and progress slowly.
>>36640993
>time under tension
The most important thing is weekly volume at a reasonable intensity.
