Weighted Bar Standing Lateral Raise
Starting Position:
1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold the barbell with both hands in front of you, arms relaxed at your sides.
3. Your palms should face your thighs, with a firm grip on the bar.
4. Keep your core engaged and maintain a neutral spine.
Movement Instructions:
1. Take a deep breath and maintain a slight bend in your elbows.
2. Slowly raise the barbell to the side until your arms are parallel to the ground. Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the movement.
3. Hold this position for a moment, ensuring that your shoulders are down and away from your ears.
4. Gradually lower the barbell back to the starting position, controlling the descent to avoid swinging.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, usually 8 to 12 for beginners.
Tips:
- Start with lighter weights to master the form before increasing the load.
- Ensure your movements are controlled; avoid using momentum.
- Keep your neck relaxed and gaze forward throughout the exercise.
- Rest for 30 to 60 seconds between sets.
