This is perhaps the most effective version of the lateral raise
Performing the lateral raise with the thumbs down isn't just an exercise that engages the outside of the shoulder muscles. This exercise also stimulates the back of the shoulder muscles and the trapezius, Italian sports scientists at the Universita degli Studi di Milano report in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
Study
Results
The lateral raise with the elbows bent is not the best exercise for developing the outside of the shoulder muscles. Not surprising either.
What is surprising is the effectiveness of the lateral raise with internal rotation - at least, according to the Italian research. For the outside of the shoulder muscles, this exercise is a bit better than the traditional lateral raise. In addition, this variant also stimulates the back of the shoulders [posterior deltoid] and the trapezius.
