How much can you Side Lateral Raise (dumbbells) with perfect form?

[curling]

Remember PERFECT form no swinging or jerking the weight up. I can do the 20lbs with perfect form maybe the 25 if I cheat just a little.

Be honest.

45's standing, 35's kneeling on a stability ball.

 

[gymtime]

35 tops with good form. Usually go 25,30,35. One of the least correctly done excercises I see in the gym.

 

[JG1]

45's

 

[FitnessFrk]

from 25-40 it all depends. I switch the order of my exercises performed every workout.

 

[SAGAT]

hmmm....I rarely do them but when I do, its usually in the same range that FitnessFrk described.

maybe 5lbs right now..... I've really blown my shoulder out some how....early in the am or if my shoulder gets cold ... I can barely lift my arm over my head..... I can do most other lifts ok.....WTF?

 

[Jvesti1234]

I go with 25's for 8. try to extent my arms out as far as possible it's tough not to involve the traps

...

side laterals are not an exercise you should shoot for strength with. works better in 12-15 rep range. trying to side lateral heavy weight is going to give you shoulder problems.

 

[Stiffler]

Im with you curling I do 25lbs 14 reps perfect form, and my last set I try to do as many as I can and quite a bit.

45's standing, 35's kneeling on a stability ball.

balancing? or just leaning against it?

i can do 10's....maybe 15s balancing on it.

 

[Thaibox]

80s if I use the same form as most other people I've seen doing them. Otherwise 35-40s

 

[bignate73]

lateral raises can become close kin to tricep kickbacks....nearly worthless. key is to start where there is already resistance, about 10-20 degrees from hanging at your sides. now watch the pounds go down as you do an actual "no momentum" lateral raise. 2 seconds up....4 seconds down. but for those chasing the number, more power to ya.

27.5 standing with perfect form for 3 sets of 4-6 reps
30 is i want to sacrifice some form

I alternate one day I do 10's slow and always with perfect form and the other day I do 15's the same way. I can see a day soon when I could probably use the 20's but I use this excercise for the burn and not trying to lift heavy, I save lifting heavy for bench and squat.

 

[Enock]

20-25 depends what I've done for shoulder work before hand.

 

[TheBandit]

25-30 here...freshman in high school

 

[Mighty Mouse 21]

30-40 depending on when in my shoulder routine I do them

 

[maxellyz]

80s if I use the same form as most other people I've seen doing them. Otherwise 35-40s
