Bent-Over Rear Delt Raise

Step 1

Holding one dumbbell in each hand, plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Hinge forwards from your hips so that your torso is parallel to the floor. Bend your knees slightly and extend your arms to hold the dumbbells directly below your chest. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Exhale. While maintaining a slight bend in your elbows, raise the dumbbells outwards and upwards from below your chest until they reach shoulder height. You should feel a small squeeze between your shoulder blades.

Step 3

Inhale. Gently lower the dumbbells to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
