What Are Side Lateral Raises?
Side lateral raises are exercises that involve raising a set of dumbbells from the athlete’s side to a position level with the shoulders while keeping the arms straight. Side lateral raises primarily benefit the shoulder muscles but also work out the biceps and triceps. They do not require much equipment and, compared to a lot of free weight exercises, an athlete can perform them with correct form rather easily as long as he or she does not try to lift too much weight.
