The incline lateral raise is an isolation exercise for the side or lateral head of the delt.
- Lie sideways on an incline bench with a dumbbell.
- When performing the movement, don't let the dumbbell touch your body at the bottom. Keep the tension constant.
- Many people bring the dumbbell up too high, which only causes them to lose tension in the targeted muscle.
