Holy fuck why haven't I heard of these earlier? Tried them for the first time tonight and it hit my delts and traps so hard without the uncofmortable shoulder strain I typically get with regular lateral raises.
Lu raises god tier.

So you do lateral raises with plates and then press them after you hit parallel?
Levi Bailey
god why are asian oly lifters so fucking hot
Xavier Lewis
Basically a "full wingspan" fly with the plates. Not a true press motion.
Grayson Wright
Looks like it would also help with grip?
Brandon Sanchez
looks pretty neat. will definitely try these tommorow OP.
Jace Nelson
Likely depends on the plate style. I started light with 10s just to try and get the form down. I tried 25s and it was so fucking hard to maintain proper form much less hold on to. My gym, however, has the iron gym plates like pic related. More to grip.
Christian Bell
Gonna give these a go next shoulder day, thanks op, yu a pretty cool guy

Make sure you start at a "closed" position like he does in the in the video I linked earlier. If you start open it doesn't feel right on the shoulders.

what difference would it make if I used dumbells instead for the same motion?
Colton Myers
zero. they don't have dumbbells at OL competitions so they use plates instead
Jordan Wilson

Almost certainly not.
That said, you could probably approach something close to his size naturally, but you'd struggle with the bodyfat

Kevin King

These would mainly hit the front delts right?
The whole point of the lateral raise is to hit the middle delt.

CRISPR - seriously doe they screen their 1.3 billion citizen for the best choice in every sport then juice them to the gills. CRISPR is in trial period for sure now.

Brayden Rodriguez
