My ex wife was a fitness trainer 30 years ago and she worked out a program for me and these were part of it. I haven't done these for 25 years. Michelle makes it look so easy! She's a Strong Girl. I'll be starting with 5 reps.....
I guess a lot of guys commenting on this video must be very insecure with themselves, if they feel they have to make fun of strong women. I thought the video was great. I'm glad she explained details on form. It's so easy to hurt yourself if you do this sort of thing wrong.
I really, really, really like her videos. I am putting together a program for a girl at work and I'm adding links to all the exercises so she'll know what I'm talking about. This girl teachers PERFECT form. Anybody that is watching should follow her instructions to the letter.
*So easy to use and so convenient! Awesome in space saving. However, due to its adjustable weight design, the length of the dumbell is always the same regardless of weight. (I.e. a regular 25 lbs dumbell is longer than a 10 lbs dumbell). But that really not a reason to shy away. Also kinda expensive.... but!!! Overall quality **bestgym.equipment** and ease of use and storage, you cant ask for a better dumbell.*
good video. It's important people realize they need to think about moving up and away so that they can activate their delts more. also keeping their traps disengaged while doing it as well. as you bring up your arms to also stick your chest ur as well so that you can allow the delts to activate better. but also to know that you should bring the pinkies higher. causes impingement overtime. i mean if there raised slightly higher than the front its fine but you really shouldn't rotate them inwards cause it will eventually cause impingement.
If you bend the elbow all that happens is you lower the chance for tendonitis. Doing it with elbows bent making a right triangle takes away medial delt tension while elbows locked increase risk of injury. Therefore have the elbow bent, use good form, and try to do reps in the 10-15 area since the medial deltoids in most cases are comprised of slow twitch fibers.
@highresvid so true, i do seated ones as a "burn" set, meaning I still have a few reps on my shoulder so I lower the weight and just start pumping out reps with a lighter dumbell while seated, you get crazzzzzzy shoulder pumps doing this after a heavy working set
My dad taught me to do this exercise slightly different. As I raise dumbbell I tilt it as if I was pouring a jug of water, instead of keeping it parallel with the floor. I find that it is bit harder this way and prevents my wrists raising above my elbows.
timmehh89 you get shoulder impingement this way :( Dont do the water pouring or pinky raise. I can explain or you can watch physical therapist ATHLEAN-X explain why. I got impingement from watching her video years ago.
I found that lat raises are a bit harder than other dumb bell exercises. I can manage 10 kilos on each arm for hammer curls and shoulder presses but lat raises I found I could only do 7.5kg to start with
bad explnation when doing internal rotation at shoulder joint you put yourself at risk of an injury because there is no space in the shoulder joint which is ball and socket . this can cause you the impingement syndrom.
Lateral raises are soooo humbling. You could be pushing crazy weight with other muscle groups. I made the same mistake she referred to in my early 20's, too much weight. It was ineffective.

This comment needs more upvotes. The "pinkies up" or "pouring the pitcher" cue for lateral raises is probably the most widespread and dangerous training tip around.
Jeff is the man. I've had a bad shoulder injury as well, 4 tears to be exact. Partly softball to blame, but partly these people who give newcomers wrong information.
I realize this is a 14 year old video, but the middle head of the deltoid is the lateral head, not the medial. In anatomy, “medial” means “closer to the midline,” and the middle head is the farthest from the midline, hence “lateral.”
Thats a wrong explanation. For lateral raises the hands work as a hook, just for holding the weights. This exercise is done by concentrating on lifting the elbows and not the hands. So when you perform the lateral raises the position of elbows will be higher than that of hands holding the weight. If the position of hands goes higher than elbows than you are basically not targeting the medial head.
2024 attendance ✋️
No one cares
I just love her. Everytime Im not sure how to do a workout I check her out. Always informative, very knowledgable and professional.
If you do laterals how she told you your gonna damage your shoulders
Yes 70, you are correct...I actually damaged my shoulder and got shoulder impingement from watching this video years ago.
Same❤❤❤

Me too lmao
No way same here

Maybe they have a reason to be insecure. If you catch my drift!
I love it how you say that and l scroll down to not see a single negative comment.
She's not natural, look at big natural female bodybuilders and you'll see
you're speaking the God's honest truth! Every time a woman does a workout video she's either vilified or objectified by a few, or more, gross men!!
I just had a scroll down and couldn't find any.
Finally a video with clear instruction and straight to the point. 🙌
How good is Michelle explaining the correct way to do the exercises ... All the elements of her speech are perfect
These videos are so helpful! I've watched tons of them to incorporate new exercises into my routine. Thanks guys!
quick , simple and easy to understand Thank You Michelle!!!
These videos are still one of the most informative. Thank-you.
She is incredible. As a beginner in fitness, her videos are extremely helpful
Short and simple, THANK YOU
She is the best really I love the way she simplifies the exercise and explains it so clearly 👍👍♥️
form is on point every time.
Clear and concise, great video ❤

Excellent video - not all about weight but form
Perfect form

Thank you so much

Thank you!
A coach who knows coaching! 🎉
Thank you good video
The best explanation how to do this exercise on the CZcams. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you for showing proper form!
Thank you.
Thank you for explaining most of these are videos with no audio.
good exercies
i always swing up arms like that to gain speed when I raise the dumbe !! nevewr knew it could make a shoulder injury
thank you,
Okay I was doing these all wrong. Good vid!
Thanks

Use an overhand grip (thumb on top of weight) to maximize shoulder benefit.

Okay, pal, will do...
YES MAAM !!!
I need her as my personal trainer
My dad taught me to do this exercise slightly different. As I raise dumbbell I tilt it as if I was pouring a jug of water, instead of keeping it parallel with the floor. I find that it is bit harder this way and prevents my wrists raising above my elbows.

Got to love the fitness industry, full of very clever people who know best......
Thanks, Wonder Woman.
Wow thank you so much for this! You explained it better than the guy lol
she is awesome
can you show how to do proper form for front lat raises please? does the same logic apply there too (start with light weights)?
Just great, but it would be good to see it done with the breath also. Like exhale as you raise the bells, etc. Love it though.
She’s jacked!
i love her!!! :)
what is the difference of side lat dumbell raises and side arm raises?
I got a great workout just by watching this video.... thank's.
What is the difference between this and the seated lateral raises?
this is the hardest one to do
Killer body. :) Definitely would.
Sick! I love her.
The pinky doesnt need to be higher than the thumb. Some actually do this with thumbs up and they are the same(or almost the same).
@Salvat1onHD ikr
should your arms be in line with your body? or slighty forward....
Is this Lance Armstrong's channel?
@matisska thats how i like, RAWR!
My problem is that I feel it in my neck... but im only using 1kg-2 kg. Any tips?
Better to have some external rotation
Shoulder internal rotation is high here
Are your elbows bent at all?
I found that lat raises are a bit harder than other dumb bell exercises. I can manage 10 kilos on each arm for hammer curls and shoulder presses but lat raises I found I could only do 7.5kg to start with

bad explnation when doing internal rotation at shoulder joint you put yourself at risk of an injury because there is no space in the shoulder joint which is ball and socket .
this can cause you the impingement syndrom.
Roi Rabinek I actually got Shoulder impingement from watching this exact video years ago and raising pinkies :(

Jeff is the man. I've had a bad shoulder injury as well, 4 tears to be exact. Partly softball to blame, but partly these people who give newcomers wrong information.
Just watched his video and remembered she said the opposite! Came to verify that she did and see if anyone countered it. I love athlean-x!
it causes internal rotation of the humeral head which can lead to compression of the ligaments/muscles. I wouldn't recommend pinkies up.
This girl is lovely, good form.
Are those 10 pound dumbbells?
Is it possible for you to write a program for me?
What wt are you holding
And here it is, the exercise i most hate in bodybuilding.
She's on the gear
Any one know why too much pain in lower back after this exercise ?
Oooh, lovely.
@Teenssj2 Looks like her hat fell off when she was doing strict form barbell row
Pinky needs to be below, or else you can get internally rotated shoulders, get injury: see Jeff Cavelier for explanation
I realize this is a 14 year old video, but the middle head of the deltoid is the lateral head, not the medial. In anatomy, “medial” means “closer to the midline,” and the middle head is the farthest from the midline, hence “lateral.”

So when you perform the lateral raises the position of elbows will be higher than that of hands holding the weight.
If the position of hands goes higher than elbows than you are basically not targeting the medial head.
This video is what caused me to go to the Doctors for shoulder Impingement. Hopefully nobody else is following her instructions and raising pinkies.
I thought you were Abella Dangers
Michelle Trapp(s) :-) Indeed she looks damn strong for a girl.
man arms
She's doing it wrong. Your thumb has to be higher the then the pinky, bend your arms a little bit and leane forward a little bit to.
This video is made when I was born..
.....pinky a little higher ~ I like her =), she has good form and precise with her video tutorials -plus she is beautiful !
