How to do it

  1. 01

    In a standing position, hold a pair of dumbbells at your side. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Keeping your elbows slightly bent, raise the weights directly in front of you to shoulder height, avoiding any swinging or cheating.

  3. 03

    At the top of the exercise move the weights out in front of you, keeping your arms extended.

  4. 04

    Lower the weights with a controlled motion.

  5. 05

    On the next repetition, raise the weights in front of you to shoulder height before moving the weights laterally to your sides.

  6. 06

    Lower the weights to the starting position.

In the app

Side Laterals to Front Raise appears when you own dumbbells and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have dumbbells

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
