Dumbbell Alternate Lateral Raise
The standing lateral raise one arm at a time, the other bell resting at the side.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, bells at the sides, palms in, elbows soft.
Steps
- Raise one arm out to shoulder height.
- Bring it down slowly before the other arm goes.
- Keep the torso from tipping toward the raised arm.
Common mistakes
Tipping away from the working arm: stand tall; the lean steals the start. Rushing the handover: each arm finishes its rep. Shrugging the raised side: blade down.
Breathing
Exhale on each raise, inhale lowering.
