How to do Bent Over Rear Deltoid Lateral Raises

Shoulders & Traps Exercise Training Workout

Sit down on the edge of the bench with dumbbells in each hand, body leaning over your legs, and feet planted on the ground. Keep the dumbbells under your legs and chest against your thighs with head looking at the ground. Let your arms hang with the dumbbells in your hands. Slowly bring the dumbbells up sideways in an arc-like motion while keeping your arm extended, with a slight bend, throughout the entire movement, keeping your chest against your thighs (this is very important). Hold the dumbbells up sideways for a brief moment to squeeze your rear deltoids at the top of the movement. Slowly bring the dumbbells back down in that same arc-like motion until your arm is hanging again.
