In ETP#214 we are bringing back the Training Series with a dedicated deep dive on lateral deltoids. We covered shoulders back in episode 138 in December 2023, but the lateral delt segment got squeezed into the final 10 minutes. A long-time listener called that out and requested the full treatment, so here it is.
Covered in this dedicated lateral delts training episode:
Why the lateral delt deserves its own episode and what we missed in ETP#138
Aaron's favorite foundational cuing for lateral delt stimulation
Dumbbell variations: seated, incline, sideways, standing, leaning out, leaning in, upright row/high pull, face pull, and Y-raise
Cable variations by height and orientation: dual behind the back, dual in the scapular plane, single arm, lying Y-raise, and the case for a bottom ROM focus
Dedicated lateral raise machines, what to look for in the design, and why the Gymleco Standing Side Lateral stands out
Short vs. lengthened pairings and why we are big fans of same-muscle-group supersets for lateral delts
