Side lateral raises?

[RaiseDaBar88]

On side lateral raises, do I raises my arms up above my shoulders, or do I lift my arms up so they are completely straight and parallel to my shoulders?

They only pictures I've seen of one is here:
Standing Lateral Raises (http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/excercise/standing%20lateral%20raises.htm)

The slideshow shows the arms above parallel, but they aren't called "side" lateral raises.

In my shoulder workout Shoulder Blitz they say side lateral raises and they show a picture that looks different than the slideshow.

Do what the slideshow shows.

Raise your arms until the upper arms is parallel to the ground. If you go above this, you turn it into a trap exercise.

they are both the same. the slideshow is shown from an upward angle, so the arms and dumbells appear to be higher.

keep raising...until a stretch is felt in the side delts...if the arm raises in such a manner, that traps are felt....raise your arm lower from then on.
