Dumbbell Front Raise- Anterior Deltoid

Raise dumbbells forward and upward with until upper arms are above horizontal. Lower and repeat. Dumbbell Shoulder Press- Anterior Deltoid

Press dumbbells until arms are extended overhead. Lower and repeat. Dumbbell Upright Row- Lateral Deltoid

Pull dumbbells to front of shoulder with elbows leading out to sides. Allow wrists to flex as dumbbells rises upward. Lower and repeat.

Dumbbell Lateral Raise- Lateral Deltoids

Raise upper arms to sides until elbows are shoulder height. Maintain elbows' height above or equal to wrists. Lower and repeat.
Dumbbell Seated Rear Lateral Raise-Posterior Deltoids

Raise upper arms to sides until elbows are shoulder height. Maintain upper arms perpendicular to torso and a fixed elbow position (10 to 30 angle) throughout exercise. Maintain elbows height above wrists by raising "pinkie finger" side up. Lower and repeat.

Other Names
Shoulder (Front) Front Delts

Heads
Anterior Deltoid (1 of 3)

Movement
Shoulder Abduction Flexion Transverse Flexion Internal Rotation

Attachments
Origin Clavicle (Anterior Lateral Third)

Insertion Humerous (Lateral) o Deltoid Tuberosity

Comments
The anterior deltoid is involved in shoulder abducted when the shoulder is externally rotated. The anterior deltoid is weak in strict transverse flexion but assists the pectoralis major during shoulder transverse flexion / shoulder flexion (elbow slightly inferior to shoulders).

Lateral Head

Other Names
Shoulder (Side) Side Delts

Heads
Lateral Deltoid (1 of 3 Deltoids)

Movement
Shoulder Abduction Flexion Transverse Abduction

Attachments
Origin Scapula o Acromion (Lateral)

Insertion Humerus (Lateral) o Deltoid Tuberosity

Comments
The lateral deltoid is involved in shoulder abduction when the shoulder is internally rotated. It is involved in shoulder flexion when the shoulder is internally rotated. It is involved in shoulder transverse abduction (shoulder externally rotated) but is not utilized significantly during strict transverse extension (shoulder internally rotated).

Posterior Head

Other Names
Shoulder (Rear) Rear Delts

Heads
Posterior Deltoid (1 of 3 Deltoids)

Movement
Shoulder Extension Transverse Extension Transverse Abduction External Rotation

Attachments
Origin Scapula o Spine (Inferior edge)

Insertion Humerus (Lateral) o Deltoid Tuberosity

Comments
The posterior deltoid is a stronger transverse extensor (shoulder internally rotated) than transverse abductor (shoulder externally rotated). It is strongly involved in transverse extension particularly since the latissimus dorsi is very weak in strict transverse extension. The posterior deltoid is the primary shoulder hyperextensor, since the pectoralis major nor the latissimus dorsi does not extend the shoulder beyond anatomical position (aka hyperextension)
