20 comfortably. Wouldn’t go any higher since I can’t afford to be injured or I’m out of work.

No you don't.
You don't know a damn thing about clean form if you lat raise over 40s. And even 40s, you have to be an absolute house to pull it off clean.

Why would go that heavy? 50s, 60s, for laterals? Seems a bit fraud-ish. Either that or you're asking for trouble injury wise.


I keep them light. I don't think I've ever gone above 20lbs for laterals. I just do more reps on this exercise.

You'll make way more gains using lighter weight with good form than using massive dumbells. Your medial delts can grow on very light weight. It's not like training chest or legs.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

If you’re doing 50lb then you’re probably not doing it right.

You’re going to get the most out of the exercise with stricter form.

Lu raises are good, but the jump in plates is hard , might start using dumbbells

lateral raises are always best in high reps

people who do low rep lateral raises are clueless

I did 55lb for like 3 sets of 15 reps a few weeks ago. My form was good IMO


I’ve said for years that people make the mistake of just doing high volume fluff and don’t actually progressively overload their shoulders. And then they wonder why they don’t have good delts

I do Dumbell lateral raises in the 6-10 rep range (sometimes add dropset too) and then I do cable lateral raises in the 12-15 rep range

Cable lateral raise feels so fukin good mang.
