Dumbbell Seated Single-Arm Front Raise
One bell raised thumb up from the end of a flat bench; with no back rest, the torso holds itself still.
How to do it
Setup
End of a flat bench, bell at the side palm in, free hand on the knee.
Steps
- Raise the bell forward to shoulder height, thumb up.
- Sit tall without leaning toward the free hand.
- Lower it slowly; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Palm turning down on the way up: thumb up the whole arc. Leaning on the free hand: it only rests on the knee. Swinging the bell: a dead stop by the thigh.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
