Purpose
- classic shoulder width builder
- excellent lateral deltoid developer
Execution
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells at your sides with a neutral
grip. Let your arms hang naturally with a slight bend in the elbows.
- raise the dumbbells out to your sides, leading with your elbows
- keep your wrists, elbows, and shoulders in line as you lift
- stop when your arms reach parallel to the floor
- control the descent, resisting the weight on the way down
- maintain the slight elbow bend throughout the movement
When the weight gets heavy, use body English to cheat the weight up. Focus on
controlling the negative.
