How to perform One-Arm Incline Lateral Raise

1

Lie down sideways on an incline bench press with a dumbbell in the hand. Make sure the shoulder is pressing against the incline bench and the arm is lying across your body with the palm around your navel.

2

Hold a dumbbell in your uppermost arm while keeping it extended in front of you parallel to the floor. This is your starting position.

3

While keeping the dumbbell parallel to the floor at all times, perform a lateral raise. Your arm should travel straight up until it is pointing at the ceiling. Tip: Exhale as you perform this movement. Hold the dumbbell in the position and feel the contraction in the shoulders for a second.

4

While inhaling lower the weight across your body back into the starting position.

5

Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

6

Switch arms and repeat the movement.
