How to do it
- 1
Dumbbell scaption is an isolation exercise that helps build the shoulder muscles, with a strong emphasis on the supraspinatus muscle. When you train the stabilising muscles, you help protect the shoulder joint and the ligaments around it. It also strengthens the shoulder and helps reduce the risk of rotator cuff injury. Use a light load for this movement rather than choosing too much weight.
