Stand with a pair of dumbbells hanging at arms’ length and the palms facing back. Keeping the trunk braced tightly, lift the weights up with straight arms to above shoulder height, then lower again under control. On the next rep, raise the dumbbells out to the sides and up past shoulder height. Continue alternating until completing the set.
 
Purpose
The dumbbell front + lateral raise focuses on the lateral and anterior delts with some work for the upper back and neck.
 
Programming
Generally sets of 8-16 reps are appropriate.
