Stop Messing Up Lateral Raises (Easy Fix)

If you don’t have access to cuffs, I’ve found that gripping the handle loosely helps my mind muscle connection. When I squeeze it feels like I’m lifting with my forearm/tricep. But when I relax my wrist and grip, I pull with nothing but my shoulder and I get a fantastic burn. Your arm may not be as “straight”, but it feels fantastic to me

Technically with cuffs you have a shorter lever so you should in theory do more reps as less force is required from the muscle. But I think the cuff offers additional benefits

Good editing like this satisfies my soul 😌

I can't believe I never thought of these simple tips. You're the 🐐 Jeff. Every time you come up with a variation or tip it has dramatically changed my training in a good way.

I met Jeff Nippard this past Saturday, he is a super nice guy. And very humble, I was so shocked when I saw him I couldn’t even form words in my mouth 😭. Thankfully he came up to me and greeted me. It was a pleasure meeting you Jeff Nippard, love your content, keep up the great work.

You only get 2 extra reps with the wrist strap because of physics. Because the point of tension (the cable) is closer to the axis of rotation (your shoulder) there’s less torque exerted from the cable onto your shoulder. This means youre not actually getting an increase in volume because the extra reps are being offset by less torque.

Huge props to Jeff with the quality and conciseness of these shorts. Really well put together.

its easier with the wrist attachment because its closer to the pivot joint (shoulder)

That higher cable height just blew my mind! Been using cuffs for a month with great success can’t wait to try the new height

Sir your programmes have helped me a lot.. ive been following your programme for 2 years now !! YOU'VE BEEN AN INSPIRATION!! THANK YOU JEFF😌

I am new to using machines, and these videos help me not feel completely lost or embarrassed. Thank you for your videos 😊

One thing to note, the Supraspinatus muscle is responsible for the first 15° of arm abduction meaning by raising the cable height and changing the point of which the arm and cable are at 90° puts more stress on the much weaker Supraspinatus while making the movement easier for the lateral delt. Keeping the cable low creates a 90° angle right when the lateral deltoid actually becomes engaged making a tougher (better) movement for the delt and protecting your rotator cuff (Supraspinatus) from being over worked. Do you agree? love the videos regardless.

Drew Lynch and Jeff Nippard prove we live in a simulation. Same NPC but one is a comedian the other is a body builder.

These tips are GOLD. Thanks man

I also love using cuffs for cable side laterals! However, I don't think they make you stronger, I think they just lessen the rotational inertia by shortening the length from your shoulder to the cable by a couple inches. Still, they're so much more comfortable and definitely allow me a better mind muscle connection with my delts!

Cannot overstate how much Jeff has helped me in the gym-currently benefiting from the rated back exercises he did-also added a single arm Landmine row in from his list which I really felt in my lats. I struggle with cable lateral raises so will definitely try these cuff versions

cuffs are a game changer

I needed this! My cable lat raises just weren't raising yesterday, even at a low weight. Thank you!

Thanks for all of the exceptional content Mr. Jeff.

Exactly as I perform these. The "higher cable" tip is golden; quite good for other similar situations such as Bayesian Curls.
