Seated or Standing Movements

[ACAZORES]

WWe all know that we can lift more weight whiele doind an exercise standing like dumbell curls or any type of shoulder raises, considering the fact that I can do standing 1 arm side raises with 80 pound dumb. and seated dumb. raises with 30 pounds, what do u guys think that would give better development heavy standing or light standing movements.

Sorry bro, I just don't see this one happening; but hey, I'm a pessimist!

Try doing them standing up straight and only slightly bending the elbows.

if your using 80lbs i would say your form would have to be pretty bad. if you do have a problem with your form i would say to stick with seated exercises

personally i do all my raises except for rear delts standing, this way when i hit failure i can use a little momentum to push the muscle even farther. some cheating is good but you shouldnt have to cheat on the first few reps

Believe it or not I got some great development out of West-sides shoulder rotation stuff. Both seated and standing.

What will give better development is using strict form. It's much easier to cheat while standing, but whether you are seated or standing you should be able to do the same amount of weight. If you aren't able to do the same amount of weight then there's a problem with your form. So are you stating that you can do 80 lb dumbbell lateral raises while standing and only 30 lb dumbbell lateral raises seated? Standing is good if you don't have a spotter and want to force out a few more reps by using momentum or leverage. A little cheating during your workout can be a good thing.
