Baselines top tip of the day
Top tip from Baseline
Do not worry about how much weight you use or how many reps you perform.
Why do I say this?
Well I trained delts yesterday just like any other week. Hit my delts hard, including a few drop sets and a few rest pauses. A pretty intense workout as always.
However when I got home I decided to fill 2 flasks up with water (around 1KG) and do 10 mins of side laterals, bent over slightly to isolate the medial head further more.
I basically did as many perfect reps as I could and then rested for 20ish seconds and repeated. I did this for round 10 mins with just the flasks of water.
Now today my medial head is killing. I can never usually drill my side head to make me feel it the next day. It just shows that isolating and really thinking about the muscle group you are trying to work does help you to maximally stimulate that muslce.
Another tip is to make sure when doing side lateralls do not stand upright. If you do stand upright it is too easy for your front delt and even chest to take over without you even realising.
Instead bend over slightly and you will really hit the medial head that much harder. You can do this sitting on a bench and leaning onto ur legs slightly, reasting ur stomach on ur thighs.
Remember if you are moving into an upright position and cannot keep leaning over, the weight is too heavy. Dont let ur ego come into play here, drop the weight and use the medial head that you should be isolating
