Primary Muscle : Shoulders (Anterior Deltoids)
Secondary Muscles : Traps
Equipment Needed : Dumbbells
Mechanics Type : Isolation
Proper Technique:
Pick up a pair of dumbbells ( using your legs, not your back ) and stand with your feet about shoulder width apart. Bend your arms and knees slightly and hold the dumbbells so that your palms facing your body. One arm at a time, lift the weight up directly in front of you until it is slightly above shoulder height. Lower the weight back down the same path and perform the same movement with the other arm. Alternate back and forth between the arms to reach muscle failure.
Tips:
Be sure not to be too strict with the way this year. In order to maximize muscle stimulation and prevent lower back stress, try to move naturally to allow the back to bend slightly forward and backward as you lift and lower weight. Do not be careless with form but moving naturally is probably a good idea. You should also make sure not to lift too much weight as this will move the stress away from the front of the shoulder.
