Dumbbell Rear Delt Raise
The behind-the-body rear delt raise with dumbbells: the elbows draw up and back, the bells rising beside the hips.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, bells hanging at the sides slightly behind the hips.
Steps
- Draw the elbows up and back, the bells rising close to the body.
- Pause at the top without leaning forward.
- Let the bells sink back to the sides slowly.
Common mistakes
Shrugging the bells up: the elbows lead; the shoulders stay down. Leaning forward to lift higher: the range is short; stand tall. Bells swinging away from the body: keep them close.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
