Targets: rear_delt

About

This is a bent-over raise that targets your rear delts and upper back.

How to Barbell Reverse Raise

Starting Position

Grab the barbell shoulder-width apart, push your hips back, and bend your upper body until it is almost parallel to the floor. Let the barbell hang below your shoulders.

Proper Form

With your elbows slightly bent, lift the barbell towards the back of your hips. After feeling the contraction in your shoulders, slowly lower back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting, and inhale when lowering.

Precautions

Maintain spinal neutrality to avoid rounding your back. Avoid excessively heavy weights and prioritize your posture first.
