The Dumbbell Incline One Arm Lateral Raise is a strength training exercise that targets the lateral deltoids (side shoulder muscles) and helps to improve shoulder stability and strength.
How to perform
Here are the step by step instructions for performing the Dumbbell Incline One Arm Lateral Raise:1. Start by setting up an incline bench at a 45-degree angle.
2. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and position yourself on the incline bench with your chest resting against the pad and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
3. Allow the arm holding the dumbbell to hang straight down towards the floor.
4. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise.
5. Slowly raise the dumbbell out to the side, keeping a slight bend in the elbow and leading with your elbow rather than your hand.
6. Lift the dumbbell to shoulder height while maintaining control and keeping your shoulder blades retracted.
7. Hold for a brief second at the top of the movement before slowly lowering the dumbbell back down to starting position.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other arm.
9. Be sure to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the movement.
10. Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each arm, adjusting the weight of the dumbbell as needed to ensure proper form and challenge.
