Seated Dumbbell Rear Delt Raise

IntermediateDumbbell

This seated raise isolates the rear delts by having you hinge forward and lift dumbbells out to the sides. Sitting removes the temptation to sway and cheat the weight up, while the dumbbells load each side evenly, making it a clean way to build the back of the shoulders.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit on the edge of a bench holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms hanging at your sides, palms in.

  2. 2

    Hinge forward at the hips to a 40 to 60 degree angle so the dumbbells hang under your shoulders.

  3. 3

    With a slight bend in your elbows and a flat back, raise the dumbbells out to the sides.

  4. 4

    Squeeze your shoulder blades together as the weights reach shoulder height.

  5. 5

    Lower the dumbbells back down under control and repeat.
