How to do it

1. (1) Perform a lateral raise, pausing at the top of the lift (2).
2. Instead of lowering the weight, bring it to the front of your body so that you appear to be at the top position of a front raise. You will do this by using a Pec Fly motion, maintaining straight arms. (3)
3. Now lower the weight to your quadriceps, or, in other words, lower the dumbbells as though you are completing a Front Raise repetition. (4)
4. Reverse the motion: Perform a front raise (5), at the apex of the lift use a Reverse Fly motion to position the weights at the top of a Lateral Raise (6), and finally, lower the weights until your palms are essentially touching the sides of your thighs (7). THIS IS ONE REP.
