i am currently working with shoulder lateral raises bent over raises and incline pr own raises, should i lower the weight and use better form and fill the the muscle being worked or pill on the weight. please help.
More weight at the sacrifice of form only makes sense in heavy compounds.
Isolation exercises like raises are completely pointless unless your targeting the muscle.
I do side/front laterals with 25 pounds, could I do more ? yeah, but what would be the point ?
My objective is to burn my shoulders out so hard with presses that by the time I finish with raises 20 something pounds is plenty for complete failure by 10 reps.
raises are "shaping" lifts, as much as I hate to use that word, your bread and butter should be overhead presses, heavy and hard.
