Best way to do lateral/medial dumbell raise? Vid?

[mrmark]

For my shoulders work out, I follow military press with a bar with dumbell lateral/medial raise. But, I've seen such variation in the technique but I'd like to really focus on my medial shouder.

I've seen people with there arms straight out to their sides, arms very bent, wrists rotated etc.... Does anyone have a link to a vid that demonstrates a good technique how to perform this?

Thanks in advance!

Keep your arms in a 35° angle to the front. It's better on the shoulder.

what's a scaption raise?

I've googled it but not sure how reliable it is. Is this just a lateral raise with arms straight out and hold it at the top for 2 seconds?

thanks

Does this put more emphasis on the anterior with this angle?

This is the one exercise I see done differently all the time.
I always feel like I am doing it wrong.

Not straight out, but in a 30+° angle to the front. You do them standing and with just a slight bent in your elbows.

Puts a little more emphasis on the front delts yes, but your shoulders will thank you for it.
