Dumbbell Lateral Raise works your deltoid muscle with assistance from the supraspinatus and trapezius muscles.

Step 1
Standing shoulder-width apart, pick up a pair of dumbbells, palms facing in, and let them hang by your side.
Step 2
Raise your arms out to the sides until they are at shoulder height. Pause and lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Dumbbell Lateral Raise targets Delts, Traps as seen below.

Avoid using momentum to complete the exercise. Focus on slow and controlled movement with each rep.
Try not to bend your arms throughout the movement. Try to keep your arms as straight as possible.
