Coach's Tips

Dumbbell A Raise works both your upper and lower traps and lats. It helps improve shoulder stability and posture.

1. Lie face down on the floor and hold a dumbbell in each hand.

2. Extend your arms out to the sides, keeping your palms facing each other.

3. Slightly bend your elbows to maintain a natural angle.

1. Raise your arms behind your body while moving the dumbbells behind your back.

2. Keep your arms parallel to your body and focus on squeezing your shoulders and bringing your shoulder blades together.

3. Pause briefly at the highest point, then slowly return to the starting position.

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

1. Do not proceed with excessive weight; choose a weight that allows you to focus on smaller muscles.

2. Be careful not to create unnecessary tension in your shoulders and neck.

3. Use your abdominal strength to stabilize your body and prevent your back from lifting or bending.
