Lateral Raise On Incline Bench

Starting Position

• adjust the bench to 30-45 degrees upwards
• grasp a dumbbell and lay down onto the bench on one side
• you can put the free hand under your head
• the dumbbell is lying on the thigh
• the palm of your hand points to the thigh

Correct Execution

• guide the weight up in a wide bow without momentum until your arm is in one line with your shoulders (upper arm and upper body in a 90 degree angle)
• then let the weight sink down again slowly
• do not rest the dumbbell on your thigh, hold the tension and guide it back up again
• repeat the exercise several times for an effective shoulder workout
