How to do it
Lie on your right side on a bench, with your legs stacked and your right elbow on the bench for support. Hold a dumbbell in your left hand with your arm resting along your left side.
Slowly raise the dumbbell towards the ceiling, keeping your arm straight until it is fully extended.
Lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, focusing on engaging your shoulder muscles throughout the movement.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions on your left side.
Form tips
Keep your core engaged to maintain stability and prevent your torso from rotating.
Use a slow and controlled motion to maximize muscle engagement and reduce the risk of injury.
Focus on breathing steadily, exhaling as you lift the dumbbell and inhaling as you lower it.
No bench? The edge of a sofa or a sturdy chair works just as well.
