Do you monsters perform dumbbell side raises while standing or seated?

[Royalty]

I realize that this topic is not exactly a shocking revelation. But I always did them standing. They worked fine.

I switched to doing them seated 3 weeks ago. I gotta say, going a bit lighter while seated seems to be a bit better.

[SF1900]

If your back is flat against the back during seating, it takes the swinging out, which is probably why youre going lighter.

I alternate each week between sitting and standing.

They're both good, seated lets you get a little bit more ROM at the bottom.  Standing lets you squeeze out a couple more reps when your muscle is fried.

I think you'd find excellent results by performing your raises standing, but with lighter weights & stricter form

[visualizeperfection]

both.


I go very heavy with standing... 40, 50, 60's for 15 15 12.

25's for 20 sitting.

[TheShape.]

Sitting, always with light weights.

[no one]

standing.

3 different ways.

also, nextt time you do seated press do it on a flat bench with your back not supported. you'll find you'll actively recruit the delts much more than you typically would with you would with back supported. there's no cheating. it's all delt.

[DroppingPlates]

Both, but the incline version is rather my favorite.

Standing. I've taken to doing most things that can be done standing, exclusively standing. I find my form stays tighter, and the old mind/muscle connection is better for me.

[tu_holmes]

Standing.

I do 6 ways seated though.

[calfzilla]

Standing but I should mix it up and do some seated.

[Pray_4_War]

I perform them whilst sitting down.......on the shitter.  I'm a multi-tasker.

[DooM_]

I've found seated to be the best with a bit lighter weights.

If I'm standing its more tempting to swing the weights a bit.

[heenok]

Seated then when i reach failure i get up and bang a few more reps

that being said, cable laterals are much superior

[SquatsRule]

I like these in addition to standing or seated.

[Simple Simon]

I use a rubber band

[thegamechanger]

how would it even be possible to use them standing in the machine 

[the trainer]

What kind of facial expressions should I be making during Dumbell side raises?

[El Diablo Blanco]

I like doing them lying down in bed.
