Alternating Deltoid Raise

Steps

1. 1

   Set up

   Perform the movement

   Keeping your elbows slightly bent, raise the weights directly in front of you to shoulder height, avoiding any swinging or cheating. Return the weights to your side. On the next repetition, raise the weights laterally, raising them out to your side to about shoulder height.

   Finish the set

   Return the weights to the starting position and continue alternating to the front and side.
