Lying Dumbbell Lateral Raises Technique

o begin with, carefully knead the shoulders.

The lying position on an inclined bench makes it possible to work out the deltoid separately, to exclude the muscles of the legs and back from work. The back of the bench should be set at 45 degrees.

Taking the projectile in the working hand, it is important to ensure that the dumbbell is in freely lowered hands perpendicular to the floor.

Next, we inhale and as we exhale we lift the dumbbell up to a position approximately parallel to the floor. The pace of execution is average.

When you reach the top point, you can make a short pause and then lower the weight in a controlled manner to its original position.

We perform the required number of repetitions and after that we change hands and, accordingly, the sides.

Mistakes

incorrect positioning of the legs and too wide breeding of the hips;

change in body position during movement;

ignoring the condition in observing the angle of 45 °.

Another common mistake in doing alternate dumbbell raises is that there is no control over lowering the weight and everything is done extremely quickly.

When using excessive weight and swinging dumbbells while lying on your side, the risk of injuring the shoulder joint increases.
