Leaning Single Arm Dumbbell Lateral Raise
How to Do:
Setup:
Stand next to a bench or sturdy surface and hold a dumbbell in one hand. Lean your torso sideways, supporting your body with the other hand on the bench. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart for stability.
Raise the Dumbbell:
Exhale and lift the dumbbell out to the side, keeping a slight bend in your elbow. Raise it until your arm is parallel to the floor, focusing on using your shoulder muscles.
Lower the Dumbbell:
Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position in a controlled motion.
Repeat:
Perform the desired number of reps on one arm, then switch to the other side to maintain balanced shoulder development.
Benefits:
The leaning single arm dumbbell lateral raise isolates the lateral deltoid, helping to build width in the shoulders. By leaning into the movement, you reduce momentum, ensuring that the shoulder muscles are doing the majority of the work. This exercise helps improve shoulder strength, stability, and overall muscle definition.
