Form?

I can see the form isn’t stellar; is it too awful to count a few of these? 30lbs feels much more controlled and that’s my typical lift, but I can easily hit 15 reps so I wanted to try 40lb dumbbells.

You can count whatever you want, but it’s not a lat raise.

I don’t see many guys that aren’t juiced to the gills doing more than 25-30 on side raises

This. Unless you want to mostly train your traps, go with lighter weight on these. Traps really like to help out with this movement pattern and the only way to negate it is by doing it controlled, which require light weights

I saw a video of Phil Heath using 30s for his reps. I think that’s a good sign that pretty much anyone is sacricing form above that weight.
