Lateral Raise, Dumbbell |
Type: Shoulder |
|
|
|
The dumbbell lateral raise works the mid shoulders and can be quite an intense exercise. Start with a light weight because if you are not used to doing them, you'll soon find it hard going and the tendency then is to fall into poor technique. Start with a light weight, perfect the technique and then move on to a larger weight when you're ready.
