How to Seated Bent Over Lateral Raise
Starting Position
1. Sit at the end of the bench, lean your upper body forward, and bring your chest close to your thighs.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and let them hang naturally towards the floor.
Proper Form
1. Raise your arms to the side with your elbows slightly bent.
2. Lift them up to shoulder height and hold for a moment,
3. Then slowly lower back to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting, and inhale when lowering.
Precautions
1. Don't round your waist; engage your core to protect your spine.
2. Don't bounce the dumbbells; move them with control all the way through.
From the Community
When the scapula moves, the back muscles are also used, so there is no perfect isolation. If you forcibly fix the scapula to prevent it from moving, it will hurt your shoulder. Move naturally and connect, but don't move too much.
