Bent Over Lateral Raises with Dumbbells

• Grab a pair of dumbbells. Position feet apart at shoulder’s width and proceed to lean forward while sending your hips forward. Reach an angle of 45 degrees with your back and floor or a tabletop position if your lean forward even more.

• Maintain back straight, making sure that the neck remains aligned with your spine.

• With palms facing each other and arms perpendicular to the floor, start bringing your arms up until your elbows reach right under the height if your shoulders.

• Make sure your hips are locked in place and that your arms remain extended with a slight bending on the elbow.

• As you move the dumbbells up, think about the back of your shoulders making the movement and not your back, your arms or your hands.

• Hold the contraction for one second and proceed to lower the dumbbells without swinging the weights.
