Medial Deltoids
Sculpted shoulders are desired by most of my clients. As with last month’s tricep exercise and being an important muscle group to sculpt the arms, sculpted shoulders add to the arm definition. More importantly, strong shoulders support us in lifting overhead. I recommend blending this exercise with these two exercises for all around shoulder strength.

Bent Arm Lateral Raise
So let’s work the mid part of the shoulder, the medial deltoids with a bent arm lateral raise. 5-10lbs dumbbells will suffice.
- Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, core engaged, spine and pelvis in neutral position.
- Hold the weights in your hands, arms bent at 90 degrees, shoulders relaxed down your back.
- Leading with your elbows, abduct your arms out to the sides, no higher than 90 degrees. Lower if you have a shoulder injury. Keep your neck and shoulders relaxed.
- Lower back down to starting position.
Do 10-12 reps, 3 times
