How to do it
6 stepsSit on an incline bench set between 30 and 60 degrees with your back and head resting on the pad. Different angles shift which part of the shoulder works hardest.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging straight, palms facing down, a few inches above your thighs.
Exhale and raise both dumbbells in front of you to a little above shoulder height, keeping your elbows straight.
Hold the top for about a second with your head relaxed on the bench.
Inhale and lower the dumbbells slowly to the start.
Repeat for the planned reps, keeping your feet planted on the floor.
Do not swing your upper body to get the weights up. Lower the load until the bench holds you still.
Keep your head on the pad so you are not tensing the neck.
A barbell can replace the dumbbells for the same raise.
