The dumbbell lateral "lat" raise performed standing trains the shoulders. Many bodybuilders perform this exercise before pressing to pre-fatigue the primary movers and create a better "burn" in the shoulders. The standing variety allows for more weight to be used than when seated. Begin with the dumbbells to the sides or in front of the thighs.
This video shows pretty well how to do the dumbbell lateral raise, but you want to arc your arms a little to prevent injury to your joints.
