Many people have congenital defects, such as narrow shoulders, which make them look unsightly when wearing clothes. Fortunately, we can improve this situation through certain exercises. By stimulating and exercising the shoulder muscles, we can improve the shoulder lines, make the shoulders look strong, and the visual effect is greatly improved. So, among many shoulder exercises, the dumbbell lateral raise is a relatively common action. Today, let’s take a look at how many dumbbell lateral raises are effective.
How to do dumbbell lateral raises
There are many ways to do dumbbell lateral raises. Everyone has different preferences, so you can choose what you like. Let’s give a simple example of the standing dumbbell lateral raise. First, we hold a dumbbell in each hand, lift our chest and abdomen, lower our shoulders, let our hands droop naturally, place them on the front of our thighs, with our fists facing each other. This is the preparation position. Then, we began to perform lateral raises, while raising the dumbbells, with the little finger pointing up, as if pouring tea, and then slowly lowering it to repeat the exercise.
How many dumbbell lateral raises are effective?
Everyone’s physical fitness is different. The effective number of dumbbell lateral raises is closely related to the quantity and quality of exercise. If a trainer only exercises once a week, then it will definitely take more time to build muscle lines. Normally, if the trainer is strong and has no joint problems, he can exercise at most three times a week. The number of daily exercise groups is determined according to his actual condition. Each group of about 20 will be effective.
Precautions for dumbbell lateral raises
When many people want to achieve faster results when doing dumbbell lateral raises, they choose heavy dumbbells. In fact, if you want the middle deltoid and shoulder muscles to be effective, you don’t need dumbbells with too much weight. It’s better to train with small weights multiple times, which can also avoid sports injuries. Our shoulders are very fragile. Carrying too much weight can easily cause serious sports injuries, and the gains outweigh the losses.
