Dumbbell Lying Rear Lateral Raise
Face down on a flat bench, raise the bells out to the sides; the bench takes the lower back out of the lift.
How to do it
Setup
Face down on a flat bench, bells hanging below the shoulders, elbows soft.
Steps
- Open the bells out to the sides to shoulder height.
- Keep the chest and hips on the bench.
- Lower slowly to a full hang.
Common mistakes
Chest lifting off the bench: the pad holds you; stay down. Elbows bending into a row: the soft angle stays fixed. Head lifting to watch the bells: neck long, eyes down.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale lowering.
