Pro tip. Don't try to take your traps out of it. Just do the lift as heavy and for as many reps as you can without hurting your shoulders.
Like its not a problem if you feel bench press in your triceps or your chest. Just consider the lat raise a compound lift.

Upright rows and Lu raises blow the shit out of lateral raises

Do it like this so your traps don't cheat you

Take your meds, schizo.
I've never had such a good burn, pump and feel in the side delts before doing upright rows, now some schizo asshole on 4chan tells me i couldn't train side delts with it

take a mini band and put your hands in between it so that it loops around your wrist. hold your hands in front of you make a fist and bring your hands close to your chest. now pull the band apart keeping your hands close to your chest. this is a superior lateral raise also works forearm extensors at the same time

Why, what did i do wrong?
>>77108085
>the reason lateral raises, upright rows, overhead press etc. are absolute gutter tier garbage for delts is because u are not moving in shoulder joint

Started doing them leaning like this to failure before supersetting machine shoulder press but these hurt my shoulder joints so much more than the old rich piana method.
Thinking about going back even though it's a lot of trap activation.
>>

Its just a lot of tension on the elbow at a weird angle. I was doing 45 pounds and sets of 12 on cable lat raises and the elbow pain got unbearable and I went back to dumbbells. ]
If you are only doing like 20 pounds or something I don't imagine it would hurt your elbows

brother I hope you will trust me and start doing them like jay cutler. This is the best way. Rocking back and fourth like he does is a "cheat" but a good kind of cheat that lets you do more work without getting goofy and using the wrong muscles entirely.
I was constantly tweaking my shoulders before I started doing them like this.

Yeah this roughly how I rich did them, I adapted to standing and leaning my free arm on a bench. I don't like the initial jump and it feels way to easy to involve the trap, BUT, in recent dorian yates videos he says that's fine- went back to old Mentzer videos and books and he suggests the same thing, better if you superset machine shoulder press afterwards to more fully isolate the worn out delts.

45lbs seems crazy. I do them only at 10lbs (10 to 12 reps) and after I've done DB Lat raises (25s, 10 reps, no swinging save maybe a tiny bit on the last rep) and that's generally after I've done shoulder press (130 for 8 to 10) so my shoulders are already pretty beat and don't need much.
45lbs seems way too high unless you're huge/on gear or not really isolating the lat delt.

Are you beating up your elbows on other lifts maybe causing it to be more of an issue? Asking only because my left elbow is tender from too much heavy pulling and holding my kid in my left arm all the time.
Since you're limited on cables what do you do instead and do you find it hits your lat Delts just as well?

>>77111667
Yeah bro I am >>77111495 the fag recommending doing dumbbell lat raises like jay cutler
The elbow pain could very well be from other lifts and the cable lat raises just make me feel it acutely. I do a wide variety of lifts. I suspect the heavy cable tricep pushdowns I do arent kind to my elbows either but its doesnt really hurt in the moment

Try cables and different heights/angles. Your biomechanics differ greatly from others. My shoulders are now 7+in from the side maybe more like 7 with just front+mid focusing barbell then adding hypertrophy on off days, shoulders recover fast.

I have been trying upright rows with dumbbells instead of a barbell for a few sessions now and I can feel my delts firing up much more. I do them with a slight internal rotation. I don't feel my traps as much as I did with lateral raises.
