The history of the dumbbell raise has roots in ancient Greece. It is well documented that the Greeks used the forward and lateral dumbbell raise for bodybuilding and to prepare their wrestlers and boxers for competition. It was essential for their athletes to have a strong posterior chain and sufficient shoulder strength to withstand grueling training sessions and competitive bouts. In the modern era, we can use this ancient exercise to help strengthen the upper and lower traps as well as the deltoids and scapular stabilizers. Whether you're in a rehab setting or trying to boost your performance, the dumbbell raise is an excellent way to increase your shoulder and back strength. 🔑
Key focus:
1️⃣ [Set-up] Simply stand hip-width apart with the dumbbells at the side. Use a lighter weight and focus on slow and controlled movements. Ensure you draw the navel to the spine, are tight in the core with the ribs inwards and shoulder blades pulled into your "back pockets" to ensure a neutral scapular position to start in. 💪
2️⃣ [Execution] Raise the dumbbells in front of you to target anterior delts or laterally to target the lateral delts. The slower you go, the more effective this exercise is! You should start to feel a burn and make sure your last two reps are challenging, otherwise, you may need to change your weight. If you have any shoulder mobility restrictions raising the dumbbells to shoulder height will suffice. Try to lift the weight above your head in a range of motion that you can manage. 👍
3️⃣ [Variations] Try mixing up reps for time to increase time under tensions. For example, try holding the weights up to 10 to 30 seconds! You can also mix in lateral and frontal raises or combine the two movements into one. Variety is the spice of life!🌪
Let us know if you have any questions on how to spice up your dumbbell raises! Good luck and may the gains be with you😁](https://kinlab.ca/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
