Dumbbell lateral raise

VeryWellFit: "The side lateral raise is an effective shoulder-strengthening movement designed to isolate the lateral head of the deltoid muscle. Performed regularly, this can help you develop stronger, broader shoulders." [ID: db_skull_crusher]

Instructions

First time: Do 1 set, 10 reps, start with a light weight

Steps:

Start position: Stand tall, a dumbbell in each hand with arms at your sides, palms facing in
Lift the dumbbells up and out to each side, keeping your arms almost completely straight, stopping at your shoulder when your arms form a "T" shape
Pause for a second and then lower your arms, returning to the start position

Details

Important: At time 25 seconds in the video below, "We're going to grab dumbbells. Always start lighter on these and work your way up. Really easy to get shoulder injuries in the gym; really hard to come back from a shoulder injury.", www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDqklk1ZESo

I like this combo: alternate between front raise and lateral raise, www.youtube.com/watch?v=whB-LMshj4Y
