EOTW - Dumbbell Front Raise to Lateral Raise

4/10/2018

0 Comments

 
Front raises are a pretty good exercise

Lateral raises are a pretty good exercise

Why not combine them for an even better exercise that will give you some burning shoulders?

One of the ways to build bigger muscles is to increase the time under tension i.e. make the muscles work with a weight for longer.

This can easily be done with adding some isometric pauses or by extending out the reps in another way.

In this case, by keeping the weights held up for longer, it makes the shoulder muscles work really hard.

Some useful tips - don't go too heavy as I know there is a tendency to "throw" the weights up and don't rush the reps.

Key Points

  • Stand tall with feet hip width apart and abdominals braced. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, arms in front of legs.
  • Slightly bend elbows and maintain bend during exercise.
  • Breathe out and lift dumbbells up in front of body in an arc motion to shoulder height.
  • Maintain arm height and move hands out to side in an arc motion until upper arms are 90 degrees to body.
  • Breathe in and lower dumbbells in an arc motion until arms are by side of body.
