2 Arm Lateral 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 suitable dumbbells in each hand, smoothly lift the weights up from your side, to a horizontal position out to your sides, aiming to keep a slight bend in your arms, hands inline with your shoulders.

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.
