Lean In Constant Tension Dumbbell Lateral Raise

How to do it

Hold a sturdy upright with one hand and lean your body away from it.
Hold a dumbbell in the free hand with your arm hanging straight down.
Raise the dumbbell out to the side with a slight bend in your elbow.
Lift until your arm is parallel to the floor.
Lower slowly, stopping just before the weight reaches your side to maintain constant tension.
The lean increases the range of motion and keeps tension on the lateral deltoid throughout.
