    Dumbbell Full Can Lateral Raise

    The dumbbell full can lateral raise is a shoulder exercise that targets the deltoids and also engages the traps and rotator cuff. It involves raising dumbbells to the sides with a slight bend in the elbows, mimicking the motion of pouring from a can, which helps reduce shoulder impingement risk.
