This lateral raise variation targets your side delts by moving your arms slightly behind you.
1. Stand shoulder-width apart while holding dumbbells in both hands.
2. Keep your arms slightly behind your body, with your palms facing your body.
1. With your elbows slightly bent, lift the dumbbells to the side and slightly back.
2. Raise them until they are near shoulder height, hold for a moment,
3. and then slowly lower them back to the starting position.
Exhale when you lift, and inhale when you lower.
1. If your arms go too far back, it puts a strain on your shoulders. Keep them slightly behind your body.
2. Don't lift with your trapezius; focus the tension on the sides of your shoulders.
