Bigger shoulders are not necessarily the same thing as broader shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n You can have mounds of muscle on your shoulders but still not have very much width, leaving you without<\/span> that coveted v-taper<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n Lack of shoulder width is usually because of <\/span>underdeveloped SIDE DELTS.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n The part of the delt that makes your shoulders look BIG is primarily your front delt. Building this part of the shoulder is a little easier to accomplish for most lifters.<\/span><\/p>\n SIDE DELTS<\/i><\/b> are another story.<\/span><\/p>\n This is the part of the shoulder that will give you that sought-after wider appearance —\u00a0 but it\u2019s usually <\/span>much harder to develop.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Only a few exercises bias this smaller and rather stubborn muscle, and most experts would agree\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n If your side delts are lagging behind in development… Today we are walking you through <\/span>**6 LATERAL RAISE VARIATIONS**<\/b> to try out!<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, six!\u00a0 Why do you need so many?<\/span><\/p>\n You don\u2019t!!<\/span><\/p>\n These are just a few of <\/span>the best lateral raise variations <\/i><\/b>you can test out to see which YOU like the best!\u00a0 None are any better than the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The best variation<\/i><\/b> is the one where YOU get the most mind-muscle connection and can really<\/span> isolate the muscle!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Try all 6 variations and then figure out which one (or two) is right FOR YOU!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BEFORE WE DIVE IN …\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n We want to quickly mention a few <\/span>lateral raise misconceptions <\/i><\/b>to be aware of so you can <\/span>get the most out of whatever lateral movement you choose!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve cleared that up \u2026 <\/i><\/b>let\u2019s get to building some <\/span>WIDER BOULDER SHOULDERS!!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Just remember<\/span><\/i> — the shoulders are a tricky joint. Not everyone will be able to perform all six of these variations without some shoulder impingement. That is why we say none of these variations are \u201cbetter\u201d than the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Also, keep in mind <\/span><\/i>— lateral raises alone aren\u2019t enough to help you achieve your dream arms!<\/span><\/p>\n But …\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Just like<\/span> there isn\u2019t a \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d approach<\/i><\/b> to building wider shoulders, there isn\u2019t ONE diet or exercise program for everybody!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We know it seems overwhelming. That is why we came out with a<\/span> FREE QUIZ <\/b>that helps give you answers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is only 6 questions, and within minutes you will be given the best diet and training plan for your body type.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can <\/span>CLICK HERE <\/b>to take it \u2026 unless you already have all of that under control and just want some lateral raise variations\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n If that\u2019s the case \u2026 <\/span>let\u2019s get to it!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Proper form is KEY to isolating your side delt. Make sure you watch THIS VIDEO for technique tips and to see how to perform all 6 variations with proper form.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/b>lateral raises are the best way to catch them up!!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>TRUTH:<\/b> There are MANY ways, and today we are showing you 6 variations. Ultimately, what you choose needs to feel good on our shoulders and allow your side delts to do all of the work without overly recruiting your traps or front delts. Each of these variations has a place in a training program. But ultimately, it’s what feels best for you!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>TRUTH:<\/b> Yeah, they look simple, and in theory they are, but it\u2019s actually really easy to butcher this movement. Most people do them wrong. Today we will show you how to perform the lateral lift with proper form, so you are biasing only your side delts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>TRUTH:<\/b> You need to check your ego and go as low as it takes to do the exercise in a slow and controlled manner without bouncing or adding momentum from your legs, traps, etc. Five-pound raises done with proper form will result in way more side delt growth than throwing around 20\u2019s with poor technique.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
