Dumbbell Lateral Raise

A small, controlled movement that loads the side of the shoulder without much load on the rest of the body.

How to do it

  1. Stand tall, light dumbbells by your sides, elbows very slightly bent.
  2. Lift the arms out to the sides until they are about level with the shoulders — no higher.
  3. Lower slowly — the way down is the part that counts.
  4. Go lighter than you think; if the body swings, the weight is too heavy.
