START: Seated on a bench grasp the dumbbells in either hand. With your feet about shoulder width apart hold two dumbbells at your sides with neutral grips.

MOVE: Slowly raise the dumbbells up and out to your sides keeping your arms straight with a very slight bend in your elbows. When your arms reach just above parallel with the floor pause in this position for a second before slowing lowering the dumbbells back to the start.

VARIANT 05

Sitting on a Lateral Raise machine, position yourself securely and sit completely straight in an erect position. Grasp each of the handles and place your forearms onto the pads. Raise your arms upward following the motion of the arch of the machine and slowly return to the starting position. The benefit of the machine is that is provides constant tension onto the Lateral Deltoid head.Step 1
