Super Rom Lateral Raise

Super Rom Lateral Raise gif
Targets: Side delt

About

This exercise hits your side delts with a bigger range of motion than a regular lateral raise.

How to Super Rom Lateral Raise

Starting Position

1. Hold onto a support or bench with one hand and stand with your body slightly tilted.

2. With the opposite hand, hold a dumbbell and let it hang comfortably downwards towards your body.

Proper Form

1. Slightly bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells to the side.

2. Raise them slightly above shoulder height, then slowly lower them down while allowing them to drop a little longer naturally.

3. Perform the same way on the opposite side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you lift, and inhale when you lower.

Precautions

1. Even if you increase your range of motion, only move within the range that does not cause pain.

2. Do not use momentum, and focus on stimulating the side shoulders with light weights.
