HOW TO DO DUMBBELL CHEST SUPPORTED LATERAL RAISES
BENEFITS
Targeted Shoulder Muscles: The chest supported lateral raise primarily targets the lateral deltoids, which are located on the sides of the shoulders. Additionally, it engages the posterior deltoids, contributing to overall shoulder development.
Improved Shoulder Strength: By isolating the shoulder muscles, particularly the lateral and posterior deltoids, this exercise helps strengthen these muscles, leading to improved shoulder strength and stability.
Reduced Risk of Injury: Performing lateral raises with chest support reduces the likelihood of using momentum or swinging the weights, which can lead to injury. This controlled movement pattern helps maintain proper form and technique, minimizing the risk of strain or injury to the shoulder joint.
Enhanced Muscle Definition: Incorporating chest supported lateral raises into your workout routine can help define and sculpt the lateral deltoids, contributing to a well-rounded shoulder appearance.
Balanced Shoulder Development: Targeting both the lateral and posterior deltoids with this exercise helps ensure balanced shoulder development. This can improve shoulder aesthetics and functional movement patterns.
Trapezius Activation: The chest supported position also enables the trapezius muscles to work to stabilize the shoulders and upper back. This additional engagement of the trapezius muscles helps enhance overall shoulder stability and posture.
Adjustable Incline Angle: The incline angle of the bench can be adjusted to target specific areas of the shoulder muscles. Lowering the incline focuses more on the posterior deltoids, while raising it upright emphasizes the lateral deltoids. This versatility allows you to tailor the exercise to your specific training goals and target different muscle groups within the shoulders.
Isolation of Shoulder Muscles: By eliminating involvement of other muscle groups, such as the biceps or upper back muscles, the chest supported lateral raise ensures that the lateral and posterior deltoids are the primary muscles being worked, leading to more targeted muscle activation and growth.
