How to: Dumbbell Lateral to Front Raise
- Stand upright with a dumbbell in each hand.
- Start by raising the weights laterally until your arms are parallel to the ground.
- From this position, raise the weights forward to shoulder height.
- Lower the weights back to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight, which compromises form.
- Swinging the weights instead of raising them in a controlled manner.
- Not fully extending or lowering the arms, which limits range of motion.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights or perform the exercise without weights for beginners.
- Perform the exercise seated on a bench to provide stability.
Tips
- Engage your core to stabilize your body throughout the movement.
- Keep a slight bend in your elbows to prevent injury.
