Bulldozer Laterals - Side Lateral Variation

This is an example of an exercise variation I created called the bulldozer lateral. You start with a dumbbell on your off leg and drive it up by driving your elbow up.

As the weight comes back down you catch it in your off leg to stop momentum.

By starting with the weight on your off leg, you're able to generate a little bit more power and leverage. This variation also allows for more progression than a standard side lateral raise.

Some lifters consider the starting point and leverage advantage to be cheating, whatever that means. Don't fall into this pit of ignorance. Try the exercise yourself.

By starting with the weight on your off leg, it tends to feel a little bit easier on the shoulder joint.
