Dumbbell Seated Lateral to Front Raise

Dumbbell Seated Lateral To Front Raise

Description

The dumbbell seated lateral to front raise combines two raises into one rep: the dumbbells raise out to the sides for a lateral raise, then sweep forward to a front raise position before lowering. The seated position eliminates body swing. It hits the side and front delts in one combo move.
