Bent Over Lateral Raise

Starting Position

1. Stand with a dumbbell in each hand, shoulder-width apart.

2. Push your hips back while bending your upper body forward.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lift the dumbbells to shoulder height while keeping your elbows slightly bent.

2. With your palms facing down, feel the contraction of the rear shoulder muscles.

3. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

4. However, do not lower the dumbbells completely; only lower them until your shoulders are relaxed.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.
