The side deltoids (also known as the middle deltoids) or, as their scientific designation declares, the lateral deltoids, are located as one would guess, on the side of the shoulder when standing relaxed.

Behind the neck shoulder press targets the middle deltoids (middle shoulders) very well compared to pressing in front of your chest (which focuses more on the anterior deltoids (front shoulders).

This is a good exercise for the middle deltoids or middle shoulder.

This will translate the exercise movement into your middle deltoids.

This triple set will use raises and flys to work your front deltoids, middle deltoids, shoulder cap, and rear deltoids.

Lateral Flys work the middle deltoids.

The middle deltoid is often trained by performing lateral raises, which involve shoulder abduction (raising the arms out to the sides, to shoulder height).

They reported that the middle deltoid displayed greater muscle activity during the sticking region only when performing the counter-movement bench press compared to the concentric - only condition.

Exploring the effect of implement, Schick et al. (2010) found that middle deltoid muscle activity was significantly greater when performing the free - weight bench press compared with the Smith machine variation.

They reported that middle deltoid muscle activity was greater in the free - weight condition at both 70 % and 90 % of 1RM.

As is clear from the chart below, the middle deltoid has a large shoulder abduction moment arm length, which makes it a prime mover in this movement.

McCaw & Friday (1994) compared isoinertial loads at 60 and 80 % of 1RM and reported a main difference in both anterior and middle deltoid muscle activity at 60 % of 1RM (the free - weight bench press was superior) but found no difference at 80 % of 1RM.

McCaw & Friday (1994) also found that the middle deltoid muscle activity was significantly greater during the free - weight bench press compared with the Smith machine version.

Often in weight lifting circles you'll hear the deltoid referred to by its part — anterior deltoid (front), middle deltoid (side), and posterior deltoid (back).

The middle deltoid is the side portion of the deltoid, and the posterior deltoid is the back portion.

In contrast, Ackland et al. (2008) reported the middle deltoid also displayed a peak moment arm length of only 12.2 mm at 120 degrees of shoulder flexion.

The middle deltoid originates on the lateral margin of the acromion on the middle facet.

They report the anterior and middle deltoids were significant potential destabilisers, while the posterior deltoid were potential stabilisers.

The middle deltoid displays a peak moment arm length of approximately 25.0 mm at 40 degrees of flexion, while the minimum moment arm length approaches zero at 0 and 120 degrees of adduction (arms to side and across body).

Similarly, the middle deltoid had the greatest moment arm to produce shoulder abduction in the frontal plane (Browna et al. 2007).

Ackland et al. (2008) found that the middle deltoid displays a peak moment arm length of 29.1 mm at 86 degrees, while its lowest moment arm length is 8.3 mm displayed at 2.5 degrees (arms at side).

In contrast, McCaw et al. (1994) found greater middle deltoid muscle activity during the free weight bench press compared with the machine bench press at 60 % 1 RM but not at 80 %, although in both cases the middle deltoid muscle activity was approximately half that of the anterior deltoid.

Liu et al. (1997) reported that the middle deltoid increased from 0 degrees and slowly rises to 50 degrees where it starts to plateau.

Andersen et al. (2010) compared the free weight lateral raise to the band resisted lateral raise and found the middle deltoid displayed similar average muscle activity between the two variations.

Ackland et al. (2008) reported that the middle deltoid displayed a similarly large shoulder flexion muscle moment arm of 33.1 mm at 120 degrees, indicating that both the anterior and middle deltoids are capable of producing large forces during shoulder flexion in the scapular plane.

Thus, the middle deltoid may assist as a shoulder flexor stabiliser as the arm is progressively elevated.

However, in both the shoulder press and the bench press, the middle deltoid appears to produce significantly less muscle activity compared with the anterior deltoid.

The middle deltoid displays a large moment arm length which plateaus between 60 degrees to 120 degrees (arms above head).

Although the deltoids are thought of as abductors, this is only true for the middle deltoid, while the anterior deltoid is a shoulder flexor in the sagittal plane, and the posterior deltoid acts as a shoulder adductor (it has a negative moment arm in abduction) and an antagonist to the middle deltoid (Favre et al. 2009).

In the scapular plane, the anterior and middle deltoids are both primary shoulder flexors and display their greatest force producing potential with the arm above horizontal.

It appears that the deltoid muscle is moderately pennated with the anterior fibers more pennated than the two other segments, and the middle deltoid being the least pennated.

In contrast, comparing the stable and instable seated dumbbell shoulder press displayed no difference in anterior and middle deltoid muscle activity.

While the anterior deltoid displays a peak moment arm length greater than the middle deltoid, Keuchle et al (1997) reported that the average moment arm length to be 23.4 mm compared to 16.5 mm, indicating the greater contribution of the middle deltoid moment arm length throughout the full range of motion.
