Dumbbell Incline T-Raise
Face down on an incline bench, light bells raised straight out to the sides into a T; the arms stay long.
How to do it
Setup
Chest on an incline bench, arms hanging straight, light bells.
Steps
- Raise the straight arms out to the sides into a T.
- Draw the shoulder blades together at the top.
- Lower slowly to a straight-arm hang.
Common mistakes
Elbows bending into a fly: the T needs long arms. Chest lifting off the pad: stay down. Arms drifting toward the head: that is the Y; keep them square to the body.
Breathing
Exhale raising, inhale lowering.
