Shoulder Work, Pressing weight over your head isnt the only way to build strong shoulders… The side lateral dumbbell raise targets the middle head of the shoulder, while also improving your stabilising muscles and protecting your rotator cuff. Why do them ? Many injuries occur because of muscular imbalance, The middle & rear head is generally weaker than the front (in more cases then not). The side lateral raise trains a large portion of the shoulder muscles in one movement and also enhances flexibility, an overlooked component of ‘healthy hinges’. Building stable shoulders will make you stronger on every lift! Tips: The side dumbbell lateral raise is one of those exercises that so many people do incorrectly. First, this is an isolation exercise, so you should be focusing on stretch and muscle contraction, not using heavy weights. Second, you must keep your rep timing slow and controlled, so many people use momentum to swing heavy weights up, and this is not going to get you the best results from the dumbbell lateral raise.
