Single-arm cable lateral raises, Arnold presses, and dumbbell lying rear lateral raises form an effective trio for comprehensive shoulder development. Here's how to execute each movement for maximum results:

Single-Arm Cable Lateral Raise

• Use cables to maintain constant tension throughout the movement
• Perform one side at a time for better isolation and symmetry
• Hold for one second at the top of each rep
• Lower weight slowly to starting position
• Progress by increasing weight each set

Arnold Press

• Targets all three heads of the deltoids
• Sit upright on a bench with or without back support
• Twist dumbbells during the pressing motion
• Avoid locking out at the top
• Use controlled weight with proper form
• Increase weight while decreasing reps each set

Dumbbell Lying Rear Lateral Raise

• Set bench at 15-degree incline
• Lie chest-down on the bench
• Lift dumbbells up and out to shoulder level
• Position pinkies against inside handle for better rear delt engagement
• Focus on form rather than heavy weight
• Use straps if grip becomes limiting factor

This focused approach targets all three deltoid heads effectively while maintaining proper form and muscle engagement throughout each movement.
