Any idea what exercise 'Db Shoulder Combo' is?

I've just seen this in a weight lifting routine I'm keen to try, but don't know exactly what it is. I'm guessing that Db stands for dumbbell, but as for the rest, any ideas?

I'm guessing the routine came from a personal trainer and on that basis I would say that this is the following....

Standing or seated with DB by your side, raise them up to shoulder level (lateral raise) then keeping them at that same height, bring them to the front (the position at the top of a front raise) then lower them to your thighs (the starting position of a front raise). Do the reverse action (thighs to shoulder, out to side and down) to complete one rep.

i would say that with any significant weight that would become very hard and bad for your shoulders (if MTA is right) moving a weight from one under tension muscle set to another, especially where the shoulder is concerned is quite iffy.

It doesn't sound too good!

I do this almost constantly (well ok not that often) without weights, its great for stretching the shoulder out when conventional shoulder stretching doesnt hit the spot.
