Doing this exercise the way Ronnie Coleman does it, most people can use 25 to 50 more pounds then they normally do...Doing this exercise the way most people do it, the weight will drop significantly...

some pros go light on it and some like tommi torvildsen use ridiculous weight on lateral raises, and at the end they all look the same and depends it all on genetics and drugs haha.

The reason most normal people (ie. with a brain) use light weight on lateral raises is so you don't blow out your rotator cuffs,  had this happened to a few friends that went super heavy on lateral raises (over 60lbs. a side) and sure enough it happened to all 3  of them over time. Once you tear a rotator cuff you can't train upper body for a good 6 months, not to mention never being able to do heavy presses (chest and military) ever again.

side laterals (dumbells) is one exercise where the difference in used weight between "totally-strict form" and "cheated form" is very big.....

if i canīt hold the dumbell for a count of 2 Seconds in the contracted position, and not be able to lower it in controll it will work much more on the traps than the shoulder.....

How heavy is the easy part, just keep going up, warming up is the most important part. Wreck your shoulders and the pain won't even let you sleep at night. It cost me $280 a month to have my shoulders worked on. The doc used his hands to tear up the facia and muscle in my pec, arm, and shoulder, he was seperating the nerve from rubbing against the bone. The most brutal shit anyone could possibly feel but no surgery or shots and my shoulder is 100% good.

I usually warm up with 35-40's and walk my way up to 65-75 for 6-8 reps.   

I rarelly see anyone go over 40... Tapoutters in the 20's... 

All big delts, big cock and alpha attitude

Dunno if it's been stated in this thread.

But bracing yourself against an incline bench sometimes helps in order to get the focus on using the shoulders to lift the weight and not swinging it up.

Adjust the incline to close to 90 degrees.
