FRONT LATERAL DUMBBELL RAISES FROM SHOOTING POSITION DUMBBELL RAISES IN SHOOTING STANCE (FIGURES 17 – 20) Raise the dumbbells explosively while contracting the shoulder muscles. Front and lateral raises are meant to strengthen the shoulder while remaining in a shooting stance. Raising the dumbbells in this position allows for training in the functional motion of shooting. Standing on a balance trainer is a progression of this exercise which forces engagement of the core, quadriceps, and calves all at the same time, which are primary muscles used for shooting. Exhale while raising the dumbbells and inhale while slowly returning to the starting position in a controlled manner. FIGURE 20. SHOOTING RAISES FIGURE 17.
