How "heavy" is "heavy" for lateral raises?

[Alex23]

Gotta love the tools with their fingerless gloves, i-pod arm band and camo shorts doing 15 lb side raises for a "mind muscle connection" timing rest times between sets on their giant casio calculator watches.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

[J Grey]

That's cause you're a bible thumping queer that's too pussy to drink a pussy glass of piss, and too much of your bitches bitch to admit it to the slut because you don't think her shitty ass would marry yours if she found out.  JACKASS.

did you just call my wife a slut and insult her? I don't insult people's wives and fiance on here, I ask you to apologize for your statement.

[J Grey]

just so you know, drinking piss does not require bravery.
now you're attacking people's family because they don't follow you and drink piss?
wow, what a meltdown.

[Soundness]

You said she was your fiance last night...? Did you get married today?

I'm sorry, I don't mean it. I don't even know her.

[chaos]

Apologies are for pussies, I've lost alot of respect for you.

Why were you telling everyone if they said bad things about urine therapy it was only due to undereducation, and now you have an extremely negative attitude about it?

That means... You tried it, CAN'T do it, don't have the balls to stick through it, so you'll talk all the shit you possibly can about it in attempt to convince yourself it's not right.   IT WON'T WORK.

actually, I looked into it further and found out that it will not hurt you, and it will not help you.
it has a neutral effect, it will not help you and there are no long term studies on wether or not it will really hurt you.

For what it's worth, I think you should definitely drink your piss.

Bullshit it will help you in every way. It will cure every disease, ailment or imbalance of any sort.
More science has been done on it than people are aware of because the research today is commercially driven and that which does not make anyone any money is suppressed.

It will even make people beautiful...
Do you realize the most effective ear, hair, skin, and teeth products contain urine products?...



Notice how the eardrops say "carbamide" on them? CARBAMIDE IS SYNTHESIZED UREA. 

and look what carbamide gel does for teeth :


Many beauty queens actually use urine therapy, either knowingly or unknowingly.
It is a beauty secret.

Just pointing that out. Again, it will enhance every day of your life and cure any ailment.

i found over the years that even really strong dudes in the gym never use much more then 40 lbs or so in PERFECT FORM.the guys that use more then that look like they are doin some kind of swing dancing routine.im sure some guys can use heavier weight in strict form but thats one exercise you rarely see people doing correctly,thier egos wont let them lighten the load to do the exercise correctly.i prefer using the cables for side laterals cause of the constant tension,i do them towards the end of my delt routine and rarely use over 35 lbs with great results,ill start with the cable behind my back and pull it straight out to my side,no body movement at all just the arm moves

[flexingtonsteele]

It doesnt matter how heavy you go, if you dont feel it in your delts, then it doesnt mean shit.

i see guys swiging up 60 or 70lbs db's at the gym and all they are doing is a standing back extension, and i doubt they are stimulating there delts at all.

Id much rather use half the weight and have a burning sensation like no other, than to impress some fags at the gym with my db lateral raise/hyperextensions as i stand in front of the db rack screaming for no apparent reason.

All that matters is what you feel, huh flexington?

[LatsMcGee]

oh my gosh dude you are fat

before thinking about adding more weight, you need to hit the treadmill

Shut the fuck up.

[WillGrant]

Shut the fuck up.

x2..where does it end with this fairy twink..

[Remo Williams]

Heavy front laterals for me can go as high as 90lb dbs for a set of 6.   I'll start with 30's for 12-20, then 50's for 12, 70's for 8 and 80-90lb dbs for 6 like I already said.....one arm at a time.   Side laterals will be the same kind thing, but the highest I'll typically go is 80lbs on a really strong day.....anymore than that and it's all swing, momentum and inevitable wrist pain.

Geez, you must a monster 90lb front raises laterals.

[Eyeball Chambers]

30 is heavy

[JasonH]

I usually stick between 60-70lbs for side laterals. HIghest I've gone is 75lbs but the reps were too sloppy. Front raises slightly lighter - usually 40-50lbs. Any heavier on either and my bicep tendons get really fucked up for some reason.

[Man of Steel]

Geez, you must a monster 90lb front raises laterals.

I meant raises.....smart ass.  

[Man of Steel]

do you practice what you preach?

No, I just want to help you further that which you are passionate about.

[Big Worm]

Dude!  Alex could diet down and lose fat ...You can't diet down ugly!

How gay is neon in a gym?

Seriously, agreed that most do them too light.

One arm, gone up to the 90's

Two arm, gone up to the 80's for eight.

I admit, the form was not super strict.

They only turn the neon lights on when Alex walks into the gym...Not sure why

hey dont dog the ipod arm band sucka! Have any of you found one that actually fits? I have to wear mine on my forearm and I hate the waist clip ones. Music is a must especially for cardio.

[GreatFinn]

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

It would look something like this; This Bozo the Clown do it with 125lb, and looks idiotic with his fight against the gravity. Most builders doesn't understand that it isn't how you rise the weight, but more how you bring it down. Try this: Take your heaviest weight you have used in this exercise, take the posture and lift them up to your sides, all the way to height of your ears. Then bring them down slowly, try to lower them using up to three seconds to that negative part of the movement. Do your sets in this manner to the failure, try to get at least ten reps in each set. Then report here if you find any difference...

Whole exercise is just for sculpturing that mass which you gain while doing shoulder presses, so if you are serious about your training, you don't need heavy weight in exercises like this.  Guys doing this with heavy weights are usually same guys who can't do heavy shoulder presses properly, meaning that they are too stupid to learn it. They still want to look strong, so they take this relatively easy exercise and put some extra pounds in it, not understanding that they look just stupid by doing it, because it is just about impossible to do it without using some swinging to help.
