Yeah I do. And i have had SOME success just not enough to make it a true workout for my lateral head. Trap seems to go first no matter how I do them. I’ve been toying with the angle that i do them at and that has seemed to help a bit. I was just wondering if anyone else has had my problem and been able to fix it. It’s honestly not all that big of a deal for me though because i would prefer to bring up my traps over lateral delts right now.

Why would we not talk about arguably the most important head for overall delt appearance? Listen G, im all for helping people, but when the answers are in front of them, i tend to get annoyed quickly.

Alright bud, reread what I wrote. I’m not looking for exercises to hit the lateral head, I’m looking for ways to minimize trap involvement because they tend to take over in all lateral movements. Geez…

Form fix then? I dont particularly see the traps jumping into a lateral isolation movement aside from you pulling back with your arm while raising.

Well they do jump in… So much so that lateral raises are one of my better trap builders hah

On page 1, i describe doing lateral raises while on an incline bench. Try it. Can also try hanging cable laterals, where you are holding on to the bar of the machine and leaning away from it, feet also angled in. Then try cable laterals.

I had the same problem. Doing the laterals raises lying on an incline bench helps, and the behind the back cable raises.

I have the same problem and what i do is sit down on a flat bench and round my back over and raise em slightly to the front while my back is rounding. Frys my lateral heads every time. Its a rhythmic movement though so dont be scared to grab the heavier bells.

Are you doing those out and slightly forward, like a ‘Y’ shape instead of a ‘T’?
