 Posted: 02/23/04 - 15:32 Post subject: prone raises question
I just want to make sure I'm thinking correctly about these. These would be the opposite (sort of) of 'flys'? Instead of being on your back bring the weight up above you you are on your stomach or at least bent over 90 degrees raising the weight laterally, correct? Which makes them different that lateral side raises because those would work the deltoids rather than the latissimus dorsi/rhomboids, no? Is there an advantage to prone raises over flys (if I am thinking about this correctly)? Everything I'm finding is sort of vague on prone raises. Does this mean I should just skip them?
Thanks
watch out, pffff is actually trying to improve her upper body...

I do them wrong too, but for a reason. At the end position, I have my hands closer to my sides so that it hits the lats more. I really don't try to intentionally hit the posterior deltoid.
