Dumbbell Lying Rear Lateral Raise

Form sequence

1. 01 · lying setup

   While holding a dumbbell in each hand, lay with your chest down on a slightly inclined (around 15 degrees when measured from the floor) adjustable bench.

2. 02 · start position

   Position the palms of the hands in a neutral manner (palms facing your torso) as you keep the arms extended with the elbows slightly bent. This will be your starting position.

3. 03 · raise to side · Key step

   Now raise the arms to the side until your elbows are at shoulder height and your arms are roughly parallel to the floor as you exhale. Tip: Maintain your arms perpendicular to the torso while keeping them extended throughout the movement. Also, keep the contraction at the top for a second.

4. 04 · lower

   Slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position as you inhale.

5. 05 · repeat

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and then switch to the other arm.
