Training Series Resurrected: Lateral Delts | ETP#214

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
