Dumbbell Lateral Raises for Better Growth 📈

Dumbbell lateral raises are most effective when the side delts stay under consistent tension throughout the movement.

✴️ Use a manageable weight.

Choose dumbbells you can raise without swinging, shrugging, or leaning backward.

✴️ Keep a slight bend in your elbows.

Maintain this angle throughout the repetition instead of turning the movement into a press.

✴️ Lead with your elbows.

Think about moving your elbows outward and upward rather than lifting with your hands.

✴️ Stop around shoulder height.

Going much higher may shift more work toward the upper traps and reduce tension on the side delts.
