Lateral Raises: The Right Way to Protect Your Shoulders

I see way too many people at the gym doing lateral raises wrong—arms yanked back behind them, straining their shoulders. Here’s the safer (and more effective) way:

👉🏻 Start in the scapular plane
Bring the dumbbells slightly forward (not straight out to the sides). This is your body’s natural lifting path—no more fighting your anatomy!

👉🏻 Lift at a 45-60° angle
Forget 90° flares. Find your sweet spot between "arms at sides" (0°) and "arms out front" (90°). Test what feels smooth—mine’s about 50°.

👉🏻 Prioritize smooth motion, not weight
If it feels jerky or pinches, lighten the load. The goal? Shoulders that thrive—not just survive—your workout.
