Many people prefer to use dumbbells for flexible exercise methods. Diverse and effective. For those who want to overcome narrow shoulders, the dumbbell lateral raise is a good choice. However, many people don’t know how much they can do in one set of dumbbell lateral raises. Today, let’s take a look at how many sets of dumbbell lateral raises are most suitable.
How to do dumbbell lateral raises
Compared with other shoulder exercises, dumbbell lateral raises are easier. First, we hold a dumbbell in each hand, stand in a standing position, with your feet shoulder-width apart, and tighten your core for the best effect. The hands hang naturally, the arms are slightly bent, and the palms face the outside of the thighs. This is the ready position. Then, we lift the dumbbells at the same time to do lateral raises, with the little finger pointing upwards until it is parallel to the shoulders. Pause when the muscles are most tense, and finally put them down slowly and in a controlled manner, and repeat the exercise.
How many sets of dumbbell side raises
Trainers have different physical conditions, so the training intensity suitable for each person is completely different. No matter what kind of exercise you do, you must do it according to your own reality. Generally speaking, healthy young people under the age of thirty who have just started practicing dumbbell lateral raises can do three groups a day, with each group controlled within twelve. Even this amount is closely related to the weight of the dumbbells you choose. It is not recommended to use dumbbells that are too heavy.
Precautions for dumbbell lateral raises
Lateral raises are a good exercise for building broad shoulders. Doing lateral raises with dumbbells does not require too much weight. Because the area of the deltoid muscle is not large, training such a muscle with small weights for multiple times is more effective. Therefore, beginners should not blindly follow the trend and use heavy weights at the beginning, which can easily damage the shoulder joint, thus losing the meaning of training. When exercising, do not move too fast and do not use inertia to swing the dumbbell up.
