How to do it
- Lead with the elbows and stop at shoulder height.
- Light weight, slow down. This is the exercise where form beats load most clearly.
Common mistakes
- Swinging the dumbbells up with a hip drive and calling it a raise.
- Going above shoulder height, where the traps take over from the side delts.
