Dumbbell Seated Lateral Raise
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your elbows slightly bent and your arms at your sides.
Slowly lift the dumbbells out to your sides, keeping your elbows and hands moving together in a smooth, controlled motion until they reach shoulder level.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control of the dumbbells throughout the entire movement.
Pro Tip
Control the Movement: Avoid swinging the weights or using momentum to lift them. The movement should be slow and controlled, both when lifting and lowering the dumbbells. This ensures that the target muscles are fully engaged and reduces the risk of injury. Correct Arm Position: Your arms should be slightly bent at the elbows, not completely straight. This reduces strain on the elbow joints. Also, avoid raising the weights above shoulder height. The dumbbells should be lifted to the sides until they're in line with your shoulders. Keep Your Focus: Your focus should be on the lateral deltoids, which are the target muscles in this exercise. Avoid shrugging your shoulders or using your back or neck muscles to lift the weights.
