Side laterals aren’t about going heavy—they’re about doing them right.
Keep a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells just to shoulder height, and control the weight on the way down. Your pinkies slightly higher than your thumbs will help target the lateral delts more.
Avoid swinging your body—if you have to cheat, the weight is too heavy. Slow reps = more tension = better results.
Master this, and you’ll build wider, more defined shoulders.
