Dumbbell Incline One-Arm Lateral Raise
Side-lying on an incline bench, the top arm lifts the bell from the thigh to straight up; the start is the hardest part.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on against an incline bench, the bell at the top thigh.
Steps
- Raise the straight arm out and up until it points at the ceiling.
- Keep the torso still against the bench.
- Lower to the thigh; switch sides after the set.
Common mistakes
Rolling back off the bench: stack the hips and shoulders. Bending the elbow as the bell rises: long arm, lighter bell. Dropping the bell to the thigh: lower as slowly as you lift.
Breathing
Exhale raising, inhale lowering.
