This Y-raise targets your upper back and shoulders.
Lie face down on an incline bench (about 30 degrees) with your chest against it. Hold light dumbbells in both hands and let your arms hang down towards the floor.
With your elbows slightly bent, raise both arms diagonally upward to form a Y shape. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and feel the upper contraction, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
Exhale when lifting, inhale when lowering.
Don't be greedy with the weight; focus on stimulating your shoulders and upper back. Don't tense your neck and keep your gaze directed towards the floor.
