Dumbbell Incline One Arm Lateral Raise
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your back firmly against the bench and your feet flat on the ground for stability.
Slowly raise the dumbbell out to your side, keeping your arm slightly bent at the elbow and your palm facing down.
Lift the weight until your arm is parallel to the floor, making sure to keep your torso stationary and only move your arm.
Lower the dumbbell back down to your side in a controlled manner, repeating the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Slowly lift the dumbbell out to your side, maintaining a slight bend in your elbow. Keep your arm slightly forward rather than directly out to the side. Avoid jerky movements as they can lead to injuries and do not allow the muscle to be worked effectively. Focus on the Shoulder: The focus of this exercise should be on the lateral deltoid muscle in your shoulder. Avoid using your back or twisting your body to lift the weight. If you find yourself doing this, the weight is probably too heavy. Breathing Technique
