Dumbbell Lateral Raise

PrimarySecondaryNot worked

This movement mainly trains shoulders, and also recruits Chest, Triceps.

What the movement loads

The lateral raise isolates the side delt, the one that gives shoulder width and that pressing only loads indirectly. Supraspinatus starts the first degrees, the delt takes over after.

How to load it

Twelve to twenty-five reps, with the light load accepted. This is a movement where the weight that allows clean execution is almost always lower than the one you want to pick up.

The recurring mistake

Throwing the dumbbells with a drive from the legs and back. The raise becomes a swing, and the delt only sees load on the way down — if you control that at all.
