Dumbbell Standing Bent Arm Lateral raise

Expert Advice

Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the lift and avoid using momentum to raise the weights. Lead with your elbows, not your hands.

Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle.
Raise your arms out to the sides until your elbows are at shoulder height.
Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
