Dumbbell Lateral Raises
Dumbbell Lateral Raises, Dumbbell ‘Y’ Raises and Dumbbell Reverse Fly’s were easier to complete today with the same weight and shoulders felt much more comfortable throughout the workout. On the Machine Lateral Raises I lifted more sets with a full deck than I have ever done! Lateral raises are the safest and most comfortable exercise I can do regarding shoulder pain as they seem to put the least amount of stress on the joint.
There is a reason for the easier lifts and that is easily explained by not previously carrying out ‘Clean & Press’ 3 sets of 15,10,5 reps to near failure.
Clearly the higher amount of weight lifted and the ease at which this was done is understandable.
The stability of the shoulders while carrying out these lifts is where the real interest lies.
