Seated 1 Arm Lat Raise

Sit comfortably on a incline bench, so that your thighs are parallel to the floor, and your back is straight, head up, with your feet firmly on the floor.

Holding a suitable dumbbell in your hand, smoothly lift the weight up from your side, to a horizontal position out to your sides, aiming to keep a slight bend in your arms, hand inline with your ear.

Focus on keeping the upper body fixed by keeping your abdominal muscles contracted throughout the movement to avoid leaning forward during the lifting or lowering phase.

You may also decide to adjust your wrist position so that palms are facing downwards or forwards, working both arms at the same time, or simply alternating arms.

Use your non-working arm to help fix your position on the bench, by grasping the bench or resting on your opposite thigh.

Always keep your head up throughout the movement.
