Seated Dumbbell Lateral Raise: how to do it and form tips

A lateral raise performed seated, eliminating leg drive and forcing strict side-delt isolation.

Form tips

1. Sit upright on the edge of a bench with feet planted.
2. Raise the dumbbells out to the sides with a slight forward lean.
3. No body swing — if you have to cheat, drop the weight.
