Lateral L Raise With Rotation

General And Specifics

• combined exercise to train the deltoids and the rotator cuffs at the same time
• a great switchover from shoulder to biceps workout

Starting Position

• grasp two dumbbells with over hand grip
• brace the biceps and bend the elbows to 90 degrees
• posture is upright
• the feet are hip width apart

Correct Execution

• raise the arms to the sides, until the upper arms are parallel to the floor
• your shoulders and elbows are in a line
• rotate the forearms upwards (as in L-Fly With Dumbbells), until the forearms are vertical to the floor
• the upper arms remain parallel to the ground
• afterwards, invert the motion
• guide the forearms to the parallel position again, lower the upper arms and come back to the starting position
• do several reps
