🤓 Unsolicited Gym Advice – Day 3

Today we’re fixing your dumbbell raises 👇

Most people turn this into a trap exercise without realizing it — but if you want round, capped delts, not a stiff neck, do this instead:

✅ Set up on a 45–60° incline bench to take momentum out.
✅ Shoulders down and back — lock them there.
✅ Keep the same slight elbow bend throughout the lift.
✅ Don’t shrug.
✅ Think about “reaching behind you” at the bottom to fully lengthen the medial delt.

Slow down. Control the stretch.
Let your delts, not your traps, do the work.

🔖 Save this and fix your raises today.

⚔️ deficit db row 🆚 unilateral cable row

Both S-tier exercises imo, but if had to choose one, I’d go with the unilateral cable row. Here’s why;
✔️ better bracing/leverage with this setup
✔️ more even force curve
✔️ easier to pull elbow to hip for lats
✔️ can bias cross body in stretch

The db row is also great but requires more coordination, balance and overall effort (as opposed to targeted effort)

Just my two cents. You do whatever you can execute efficiently, and progressively overload over time.
