Dumbbell Lying One-Arm Rear Lateral Raise
How to Do
- Setup: Lie face down on a bench with your chest supported, feet on the ground. Hold a dumbbell in one hand, keeping your arm hanging straight down.
- Starting Position: Keep a slight bend in your elbow and engage your core to maintain stability.
- Lift: Exhale and raise the dumbbell out to the side, keeping your elbow slightly bent. Lift until your upper arm is parallel to the floor.
- Top Position: Pause at the top, squeezing your rear deltoid, then lower the dumbbell slowly back to the starting position.
- Repeat: Perform for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.
Benefits:
The dumbbell lying one-arm rear lateral raise targets the rear deltoids, improving shoulder strength and definition. By isolating the rear delts, this exercise helps with posture, stability, and shoulder health. It also reduces the risk of muscle imbalances in the shoulders and enhances the development of the upper back and scapular region.
