Bigger Side Delts: Ranking the Best Exercises Using Science

The video discusses the best ways to train side delts, ranking exercises based on scientific literature and research. Normal lateral raises are effective but may not be the best due to being most challenging when the arms are parallel to the ground, which may not be ideal for muscle growth. Variations such as lateral raises with internal rotation and leaning or lying dumbbell lateral raises may be more effective. Compound exercises like overhead presses and upright rows are also discussed, with abduction dominant overhead presses placed in B tier and upright rows in A- tier. The video concludes that challenging muscles at longer lengths may be beneficial for hypertrophy, but more research is needed to confirm this. Helpful pieces of knowledge for readers include the importance of leveraging and activity data in determining the effectiveness of exercises, as well as the potential benefits of training muscles at longer lengths.
