Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Overview

This movement targets the often-neglected rear head of the deltoid muscle. Many trainees suffer from poor posture because of underdeveloped rear delta. Don’t become one of them!.

Steps
  • 1. Bend over at the waist with a light dumbbell in each hand.

  • 2. Rest your forehead lightly on either a straight-back bench or an incline bench placed at 30 degrees.

  • 3. With your arms just slightly bent, your palms facing each other, and the dumbbells a couple of inches apart, rotate the elbows outward in a semi-circle until your arms are parallel to the floor. Slowly, and under control, lower the dumbbells back to the original position

  • 4. Do not lose tension or rest at the bottom. Also, do not lift your back and/or your head off the bench.
