Light Weights Workout - Lateral Raise

You don’t always need a gym to train. Bodyweight exercises are effective but they may limit you to only a few major muscle groups. What about your shoulders? Whether you’re male or female, I take it you would choose lean, round and capped shoulders, and not those shapeless things with the bone sticking out and fat hanging off them that most of the population have. Have you ever been in a situation where you want to have a good workout but you only have a small selection of light dumbbells available?

In this video a great shoulder exercise lateral raise is made even more effective in this workout with the high intensity technique "up & down the rack". In this way you can manage to achieve a tremendous pump in your muscles and get a good workout even when using light weights. Add it to your fitness programme for some amazing fat loss and lean muscle gain results. Combined with good nutrition of course :)

First you’ll need to master the form however. Make sure you lead the movement with your elbows, arms are not straight but elbows are slightly bent, and you’re leading with the back of the dumbbell. You can imagine leading with your little fingers. That will provide maximum lateral deltoid activation. You can keep a fast pace, bringing the dumbbells up explosively to your shoulder level, and lower them under tension.

Train hard, eat well, and be safe!!
