Lateral Deltoid Head
The lateral deltoid head is one of three heads of the deltoid structure, and is located at the side of the shoulder.
Anatomy of the Lateral Deltoid Head
The Lateral deltoid head originates from the lateral margin and upper surface of the acromion.
Functions of the Lateral Deltoid Head
The lateral head of the deltoid is mainly responsible for the width of the shoulders, which is aspired by anyone who wants to create the V-Taper illusion.
The lateral fibers are involved in shoulder abduction when the shoulder is internally rotated, are involved in shoulder flexion when the shoulder is internally rotated, and are involved in shoulder transverse abduction (shoulder externally rotated).
Exercises for the Lateral Deltoid Head
The lateral deltoid is successfully targeted by overhead pressing movements. These exercises can be viewed in the above exercise section.
Similarly to the anterior deltoid head, some people opt not to include any direct isolation work to their workouts, as many compound pressing movements will successfully recruit the deltoids.
