How to Do a Side Lateral Raise
How to Do a Side Lateral Raise
Maintain Proper Posture
: Stand tall with a slight bend in your knees and engage your core to prevent arching your back during the exercise.
Grip the Dumbbells Firmly
: Hold the weights with a neutral grip, keeping your wrists straight to reduce strain.
Controlled Movement
: Lift the weights smoothly, avoiding jerky motions, and exhale as you raise them to shoulder level
Mindful Elbow Position
: Keep your elbows slightly bent but not locked, ensuring the emphasis stays on your deltoids
Avoid Swinging
: Prevent momentum from taking over by using a controlled, deliberate movement pattern.
Focus on the Squeeze
: At the top of the lift, pause and squeeze your shoulder muscles for maximum activation.
Use Appropriate Weights
: Start with lighter weights to master the form before gradually increasing the load.
Full Range of Motion
: Lower the weights back down slowly and feel the stretch in your deltoids for a complete workout
