Side Dumbbell Raise
Developing the Muscles of the Shoulder
1) From a sitting or standing position, grip a dumbbell in each hand. You can also use one dumbbell at a time to better focus on each individual movement.
2) Lift one weight at a time coming straight up in an horizontal movement until you’ve reached a level just above your ear.
3) Make sure to keep your palms facing down through- out the entire movement.
4) Lower the weight slowly down to your hips.
5) Try to have the dumbbells level with each other to build stability and balance.
6) The control of the dumbbell is particularly important to ensure balance and stability of the muscle.
