Trainer Tip Tuesday
How Bent Should Your Elbows Be During Lateral Raises?
This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are doing lateral raises with dumbbells. Lateral raises can be one of the most effective ways to improve the strength and mobility of your shoulders, but only if you are doing them correctly for your body.
Lateral raises are one of the most common exercises both in the gym and at home. However, how much you bend your elbows when doing this exercise can have a huge impact on how your body responds to it.
While many people try to keep their elbows as straight as possible, there are some key considerations to take if you want to make sure the exercise “fits” your body correctly.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss another consideration with lateral raises.
