Lay down on your left side on a flat bench and grab your dumbbell on the floor to do the right delt raise. Lay on the right side and do the left. This is how the "delt challenged" do it at westside barbell. I learned it when I visited. I have done them this way ever since.
Raises for warmup or for a potential burn out at the end of a session.
The real work for shoulder density and size is predominately going to come from a pressing movement.
I wouldn't even waste my time with raises. Presses and variations of those presses.
I am not going to sit here and say lateral raises guarantee huge delts, but I think they add an important exercise to your regiment. I think you're missing out if you don't have them added at all too. They work the delts and RC in ways that can benefit other lifts. Again, I also don't believe lateral raises should be done heavy. In the 12-15 rep range, IMO, is more optimal over anything under 10
