Lateral Raise - How to perform the dumbbell lateral raise.

Great video.
I also perform them like that.
Never got any thing other than trap stimulation when doing them ballistic.

Paul dillet only used to use a 25lb dumbell on these and his delts were huge.

So many jokes....

Anyway, I do that when doing single lat raises. Stops the leaning/swinging.
