General And Specifics
- this exercise is similar to the Prone Raise / Scaption With Dumbbells
- but the focus is on the front part of the shoulder area
- the rotator cuff (among others supraspinatus) is strengthened, too
Starting Position
- grasp two lighter dumbbells
- hold them with neutral grip, your arms hang down at the sides of your body almost fully stretched out
- the palms point to the thighs
- your posture is upright
- the feet are hip-wide away, the knees slightly bent
Correct Execution
- raise both arms to the sides, about 30-45 degrees away from your sternum, until you reach shoulder height
- keep the arms slightly bent
- hold up the weights and shrug
- pull the shoulders towards the ears as much as possible
- lower the shoulders and come back to the starting position
- the execution does not need momentum
- do several reps without pause
