The speaker shows how external shoulder rotation during lateral raises shifts work to your deltoids and away from your traps, reducing injury risk and building bigger shoulders. Keep your thumbs pointing out, maintain a slight elbow bend, and aim for ten reps per set.
If you want big shoulders, never ever ever do lateral raises like this. When you do, you internally rotate your shoulders and activate more of your traps, which can increase injury risk and decrease muscle growth. And next thing you know, the only thing that's grown is shoulder pain. Instead, you can get that 3D look with healthy shoulders. This is how. First, grab yourself a pair of dumbbells, then widen your feet and get into an athletic stance. Next, you want to externally rotate your shoulders so your thumbs are facing out, then put a slight bend in your elbows and raise up with your thumbs up to the sky. You should now feel this much more in your shoulders and slowly lower it down. Then repeat that action for about 10 reps. And like magic, in just a few weeks, your shoulders will grow and feel healthier than ever before.
