Title: Why are side laterals so damn hard on the body !?
Post by: affeman on November 05, 2025, 11:03:06 AM
U can't even move any weight on side laterals and still they're more taxing than a set of heavy squats ???

I always do them one arm at a time, machine or dumbell. For me standing barbell curls are really taxing.

Lately, Ive been doing them sideways on an incline bench and I find this way easier to minimize traps taking over.

I remember Squadfather hated the lateral raise variation where you lean away and do the lateral raise.

And I’m sick and tired of hearing the advice from everyone and their brother on YouTube about not doing front raises because apparently everyone’s front delts are over developed!!
