Delts

Bracing the torso against a bench or rack while doing a one-arm lateral raise removes any ability to lean away from the weight for momentum, one of the most common ways lateral raises get cheated as the set gets hard. That support turns this into one of the stricter deltoid isolation exercises available. Keep the weight modest — strict form matters far more than load for this muscle.

How to Do the Dumbbell One Arm Lateral Raise With Support

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in one hand, with your palm facing your body.
  2. Place your other hand on a stable surface, such as a bench or wall, for support.
  3. Keep your back straight and engage your core.
  4. Raise the dumbbell out to the side, keeping your arm straight and your palm facing down.
  5. Continue lifting until your arm is parallel to the ground.
  6. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
