How to do the Dumbbell Lying Rear Lateral Raise
- 1
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
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
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
Slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position as you inhale.
- 5
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and then switch to the other arm.
