Instructions
- Lie on your side on an inclined bench, holding a dumbbell with the top arm extended along your body.
- With the elbow slightly bent, lift the dumbbell laterally to shoulder height.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, contracting the lateral deltoid.
- Lower the dumbbell slowly back to the starting position.
- Complete the repetitions and repeat with the other arm.
Tips
- Keep your arm slightly bent throughout the execution.
- Avoid twisting the torso or swaying the body — focus on shoulder isolation.
- Lift the dumbbell only up to shoulder level to avoid overload.
- Perform the movement slowly, especially on the way down.
