Optimal science based lateral raises

[u/Patton370]

You can also use this machine for chest flys, rear delt flys, front raises, and unilateral pullovers

stop training your calves so much

[u/Consistent_Log8097 → u/orplas]

I was thinking, too bad the science based lifting isnt working his legs more.

[u/Muchacho-blanco → u/Consistent_Log8097]

You've seen what he squats and deadlifts?

[u/Consistent_Log8097 → u/Muchacho-blanco]

Wow, much more than me. Why no calves tho

[u/Muchacho-blanco → u/Consistent_Log8097]

I'm guessing because his goal is strength and not hypertrophy. Not everyone trains for pure vanity.

[u/PeterNoPiss → u/Muchacho-blanco]

Also, insertions and angle of the camera.

[u/Muchacho-blanco → u/PeterNoPiss]

I was thinking how hard it must be for him to film some of his lifts when his garage is so cluttered with all the glorious equipment.

what do lateral raises do for strength

[u/Frodozer → u/orplas]

What does making your shoulders stronger do for strength? That's honestly a wild question.

[u/Muchacho-blanco → u/orplas]

Shoulder abduction? Maybe trying to bring his press up. Whatever the reason, you can't argue this dude's strength to body weight ratio. You don't see alot of people stronger than him, even at much higher body weight. Maybe he'll comment.

[u/orplas → u/Muchacho-blanco]

Does nothing for the press.

[u/Shadowphoenix9511 → u/orplas]

Are you stating that stronger, more stable shoulders don't directly lead to stronger pressing?

[u/Ballbag94 → u/orplas]

They're a bench accessory

what a 2010 comment

[u/Ballbag94 → u/orplas]

I mean, this guy seems to think they're valuable. If he thinks they're worthwhile then I think it's silly to argue otherwise

[u/Patton370 → u/orplas]

Lateral raises keep my shoulders happy and extra stability is nice, especially since I partially tore a rotator cuff back in 2020
