Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Polyquin Side Raise Dumbbell
- Keep your torso stationary and your elbows slightly bent, then lift the weights to your side with a controlled motion while exhaling. The hands should go up to around shoulder level.
- Hold the contracted position for a second as you squeeze your shoulder muscles.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position while inhaling.

Tips for Performing Polyquin Side Raise Dumbbell
- Controlled Movement: Avoid swinging the dumbbells. The movement should be slow and controlled, both while lifting and lowering the dumbbells. This ensures that the targeted muscles (the deltoids) are doing the work and not momentum.
- Arm Position: When lifting the dumbbells, your arms should be slightly bent at the elbows. Do not lock your elbows or lift the dumbbells above shoulder level, as this can cause shoulder strain.
- Avoid Using Heavy Weights: One common mistake is using weights that are too heavy. When the weights are too heavy, you may be tempted to use your back or other muscles to lift them, which can lead to injury. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as your strength improves
