A.K.A. Incline-Bench Rear Lateral Raise

START: Sit in reverse direction straddling an incline bench set to 45 degrees while holding dumbbells with neutral grips. Your feet should be flat on the floor with your chest pressed into the bench and your chin above the top of the bench. Hold the dumbbells so that they hang straight down from your shoulders.

MOVE: Slowly lift the dumbbells up and out to the sides of your body, pulling through the rear delts and rhomboids. Pause a moment at the top of the motion before slowly lowering the weights back down to the start.

VARIANT 05
A.K.A. Prone Dumbbell Rear Delt Raise

Lie face down on a bench while holding dumbbells with neutral grips. Your feet can either be planted on the floor or up hanging off the bench depending on what's most comfortable. With your chest pressed into the bench hold the dumbbells so that they hang straight down from your shoulders. It's fine if your arms don't hang straight down due to the height of the bench. If you prefer, you can use an adjustable incline bench instead and set it at a slight incline. Once you are in position, slowly lift the dumbbells up and out to the sides of your body, pulling with the rear delts and and middle traps. Pause a moment at the top of the motion and contract your rear delts and middle traps as hard as possible before slowly lowering the dumbbells back down to the start position.Step 2Step 3
