Need some Advice on Some Weight lifting Moves

hensue11

Can anyone tell me, which WL excercise aggravates the 'Traps' more, Dumbell Shoulder Presses or Lateral Raises...an old injury keeps rearing its head, and i dont even lift nothing heavier than 10pounds, or could even 'DB Flys' be a trigger as well

Thanks

Hi! To answer your your question: probably all of them, if your form is off.....

Check out their database for exercises, and how to correctly perform them, or for alternate exercises:

Don't worry about the weights. The number on the dumbbell doesn't matter as much as your ability to use good form. Also, every human is 'assembled' a bit different. Depending on how your bones and joints came out of production, your personal range of motion plays a role, too. Do not try to force yourself, adjust your exercise according to the current limitations of your body (moving your arms in a slightly different angle; alternate exercises for the same muscle group; training to failure with lower weights, rather than overload....) . Over time, your muscle will repair itself, your flexibility and strength will increase, and so will the weights.
Train safe!
