Bent Over Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise
Stand up with a dumbbell in each hand and feet shoulder-width apart, holding the dumbbells out in front of your thighs with arms bent 90 degrees at the elbow (palms should be facing each other). With head looking forward, back straight, body bent over at the waist, abs tight, and feet planted, slowly bring the dumbbell up sideways in an arc-like motion until it is level with your shoulders while keeping your arm bent 90 degrees throughout the motion. Hold them at the top for a brief moment to squeeze your deltoid muscles at the top of the movement. Slowly bring the dumbbells back down in that same arc-like motion until your arms are hanging down in front of your thighs again.
