Exercise:

Standing Bent-Over Rear Lateral Raise

Target Muscle:

Shoulders (Rear)

Secondary Muscle:

Traps

Equipment Needed:

Dumbbells

Proper Execution:

Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and bend over at the waist until your body is parallel to the ground. Hold a pair of dumbbells with your palms facing in and bend your arms. Keeping your knees bent and back flat, raise the dumbbells out to your sides until your upper arms are slightly higher than your shoulders. Lower the weights under control and continue the motion until you reach muscular failure.

Tips:

Make sure to keep your lower back flat throughout the entire exercise in order to prevent injuries. Make sure you choose a weight that is light enough for you to completely control the weight at all times without having to use momentum or jerky motions.
