How to do:
1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other, and bend at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor. 2. Keep a slight bend in your knees and let the dumbbells hang down naturally. 3. With a slight bend in your elbows, raise your arms laterally until they are in line with your shoulders. 4. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. 5. Repeat for 10–12 reps. 6. Complete 3-4 sets.Tips:
- Keep your back straight and avoid rounding your spine. - Focus on using your rear delts to lift the dumbbells, not your traps. - Use a controlled motion to avoid swinging. - Exhale as you lift the dumbbells and inhale as you lower them.This exercise in Workout Days
