Dumbbell L-Raise

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Stand tall with a light dumbbell in each hand, arms by your sides, elbows softly bent, and trunk braced.
2. 02Raise one arm straight forward while simultaneously raising the opposite arm directly out to the side.
3. 03Stop when both dumbbells reach shoulder height, forming perpendicular arms like an L when viewed from above.
4. 04Lower both dumbbells under control without leaning or shrugging.
5. 05Repeat with the arm paths reversed so each shoulder alternates between the front and lateral raise.
