One-Arm Side Laterals

Isolate your shoulders with this strict single-arm dumbbell raise.

One-arm side laterals help improve shoulder balance and strength while allowing strict control on each side.

Instructions

  1. Hold a dumbbell in one hand, and lightly grip a stable surface with the other.
  2. Lean slightly away from the support, keeping your back straight.
  3. Raise the dumbbell to the side with a soft elbow and slight forward tilt.
  4. Lift until your arm is parallel to the floor, then pause briefly.
  5. Lower with control and repeat for reps, then switch arms.
