Bent Over Lat. Raises (Db)

Muscle Worked

Primary - back head of deltoids, greater rhomboids.
Secondary-middle part of trapezius.

Instructions

• Up on an incline bench (about 30 degree) on your stomach. Stabilize your head with the strength of muscles in natural extension of your spine.
• Hold the Dumbbell in each hand in front of you. In the beginning your hands should be under the bench about 4" wider apart than your shoulders.
• Your palms should be facing one another, keep your arms slightly bent.
• Raise both arms simultaneously and evenly in circular motion to shoulder level.
• Keep the arms slightly bent, in the shoulder axis throughout the movement.
• Repeat.

Don'ts

• The upper part of your body should remain on the bench throughout the exercise.
• Use lighter weights initially. By using heavy weights, the exercise will train bigger & smaller muscles, such as latisimus dorsi or upper part of trapezius.
