Weighted carries have a lot of value, even standing in place. There was this one Soviet weightlifter (I forget his name offhand but I'll try to dig it up for you) who even refused to let go of the weights in between sets and credited that to much of his success. You should look into Dan John's material.
It helps with balance. Even when you weigh FULL (200kg) holding 50kg to your side will be hard to balance, easier if you have another 50kg on the opposite side of your center of mass.
Straight arm increases the lever and forces the deltoid to work harder.
>forces the deltoid to work harder
Whether you keep your elbows straight and use less weight because of the longer lever or bend your elbow and use more weight, your delts will be working just as hard.
Case in point being, everyone needs to just shut up and lift. There’s no new or improved lifts to do. Even if you maximize your efficiency, you are still going only as far as your effort and intensity levels plus progressively overloading. You could make crazy gains for years by just doing a few compound movements with progressive overload, but everyone wants to be a gayoot
Yeah, the guy doing lateral raises with baby weigh is definitely gonna have more impressive shoulders than the one pressing 2 pl8s. What a fricking clown you are
I try too much weight hurt me shoulder 🙁
How much is too much weight I'm doing 20lbs right now
why does he have one in each hand if he's gonna do them one at a time anyways?

>So only isolation exercises matter if you care what you look like?
Correct, that and calisthenics
Is it better to do them straight armed like this or with elbow bend? I've heard both so need the IST tie breaker.

Straight arm I'm pretty sure is what gave me tennis elbow
Elbow bend reduces risk of fricking up your shoulder joints and grinding them around or impinging.
Most lifting bros have fricked shoulders from years of shit bench form so elbow bend is the way to go.
Doesn't matter, do whichever you like

>Do db shoulder press

remember to do them in the 15-20 rep range
Try dips to mix it up. I did 10 body weight dips in a row today I'm so proud of myself
