Muscles Worked

Front

Primary: medial deltoid, supraspinatus

How to do it

Stand holding dumbbells at your sides. Raise both arms out to the sides until they're parallel to the floor (forming a T), leading with your elbows. Lower with control.

Form Tips

Tilt your pinky slightly up (as if pouring a pitcher) to target the medial deltoid. Don't swing the weights — use a weight you can control.
