Rear Shoulder Raise
How to perform Rear Shoulder Raise
• Lie flat on a bench with your face parallel to the floor. Have a dumbbell on each side of the bench.
• Grab a dumbbell in each hand and position them so that your palms are facing one another. Your arms should be hanging straight down and your elbows should be locked in place.
• Inhale and raise the dumbbells up to your shoulders in a semicircular motion. Your bicep will be parallel to the floor at the top of the motion.
• Turn the pinky side of the dumbbell up so that it is higher than your thumb side. The motion should be similar to pouring a pitcher of water into a glass. Concentrate on squeezing the back of your shoulders for a one count.
• Exhale and lower the dumbbells to the starting position. This is one repetition.
