Standing Lateral Raise - Build Huge Arm Muscles and Massive Shoulders With This Exercise

Standing Lateral Raises are a great way to workout the triceps and the shoulder muscles

. Depending on the weight used they can either tone up all of the upper arm and shoulder muscles or they can help to build muscle in these areas instead.

To perform this exercise you will require a pair of evenly weighted dumbbells. The exact weight of the dumbbells will depend on what it is you are aiming to achieve.

Here is how you perform a Standing Lateral Raise

1: Stand with your feet together about shoulder width apart.

2: Grab two evenly sized dumbbells. One in each hand. Allow your arms to rest in front of each other so that your palms are facing each other and the dumbbells are almost touching.

3: Keeping your back straight slowly raise your arms outwards until they form a straight line that is horizontal to the floor.

4: Exhaling, slowly bring the dumbbells back to the starting position. This is one rep.

5: Do your desired number of reps. If you are looking to just tone your musles you should be using a light weight and should aim to do between 8 and 12 reps in either 3 or 4 sets. If you are looking to build your muscles then you should be looking at doing between 6 and 9 reps for either 2 or 3 sets and you should also be using a heavier weight.

Tip: Do not swing your arms to gather momentum, this will reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and you will not see the results that you are looking for.
