Single-leg dumbbell scaption

Description: Performing shoulder exercises in the scapular plane, with arms out at a 45-degree angle, decreases the risk of the supraspinatus muscle becoming impinged within the shoulder. If standing on one leg is too difficult, regress this exercise to a bilateral stance. [ID: shoulder03]
