Dumbbell Lying One-Arm Rear Lateral Raise

How to perform

1. 1

   While holding a dumbbell in one hand, lay with your chest down on a slightly inclined (around 15 degrees when measured from the floor) adjustable bench. The other hand can be used to hold to the leg of the bench for stability.

2. 2

   Position the palm of the hand that is holding the dumbbell in a neutral manner (palms facing your torso) as you keep the arm extended with the elbow slightly bent. This will be your starting position.

3. 3

   Now raise the arm with the dumbbell to the side until your elbow is at shoulder height and your arm is roughly parallel to the floor as you exhale. Tip: Maintain your arm perpendicular to the torso while keeping your arm extended throughout the movement. Also, keep the contraction at the top for a second.

4. 4

   Slowly lower the dumbbell to the starting position as you inhale.

5. 5

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
