In training movements, there are many movements, and of course each movement has a very good effect. I believe some people still know about dumbbell front raises and lateral raises, and some people still understand the difference between dumbbell front raises and lateral raises. So, what’s the difference between dumbbell front raises and lateral raises? Let’s take a look below!
1. Different action methods
Although front raises and lateral raises both raise the dumbbells horizontally, the movements that need to be paid attention to are still very different. The front raise requires holding a dumbbell in each hand, hanging naturally to the outside of the thigh, using the shoulders and chest to lift the dumbbell flat in front of the body. Lateral raises mainly use the force of the shoulders and back to lift the dumbbells along the horizontal axis of the body so that the wrists, elbows and shoulders form a straight line.
2. Exercise different parts
Front raises mainly train the front and middle deltoid muscles and triceps brachii among human muscles, that is, the shoulders and chest, especially the muscle groups where the chest is close to the clavicle. Side raises mainly train Yes, the rear deltoid muscles are closer to the shoulders and back. Compared to the front raise, the exercise area is relatively posterior. Therefore, if you want to exercise different parts of the muscles, you must choose different raising methods.
3. Different levels of difficulty
For most people, because they are often used in daily life, the strength of the chest muscles is relatively large, and there is not much difficulty in mobilizing them. Therefore, even people with no fitness foundation can do front raises. It is easier and lasts longer. The lateral raise is much more difficult than the front raise. Because the rear deltoid muscles are not often used in daily life, their strength will be much weaker, and it takes a long time of exercise to reach a good level. This is why many people find lateral raises much more difficult than front raises.
