it is for me because my shoulders are terribly weak so i need to isolate them.

id recommend military press/shoulder press instead. Either way the reps determine on what your aim is. If you want power then low reps, high reps for muscular endurance.

That's some bullshit exercise, it's isolation.
Work on compound exercises.
Overhead press. Power c lean & jerk.

Best way to help that... throw more jabs.

You should actually bend your elbows slightly when doing lat raises - keeping your arms straight/elbows locked can damage your tendons and doesn't benefit you at all.

I agree - I usually do clean and press, followed by upright rows and push press when I work my shoulders - I used to include lat raises but found them quite ineffective (and therefore a waste of time) after doing the compound exercises

Do rounds of jabs on the heavy bag. Set the timer for a couple of minutes, dont worry about movement, just pop them out stiff with as good a form as possible, 1.5 to 2 per second and dont stop til the round's over. My jab never gets tired anymore.

My jab never gets tired anymore.Iv been doing that for quite sometime.My shoulders dont get as tired as much anymore and the acid build up isnt as bad until i reach much later in the rounds.I find it good to alternate between both stances though to work both jabs effectively aswell as my shoulders.
