Bentover Dumbbell Raises

Great shoulders look fantastic from any angle.  Shoulders are comprised of Frontal, Medial and Rear Deltoids.  Bentover Dumbbell Raises work the Rear Deltoids.  These are the muscles that give your shoulders a full appearance from the side and back.

Start by sitting on the end of a flat bench with your feet planted well out front and knees bent at 90 degrees.  Grab a pair of dumbbells.  Bend over onto your thighs and hold the dumbbells together underneath your hamstrings.

Now, raise the dumbbells up as high as you can. Leave a slight bend in your elbows.  Try to bring your hands forward as you raise the dumbbells.  This exercise mostly hits posterior or rear deltoids but also works Rhomboids and Traps to a lesser extent.  Go for 3 sets of 12 reps.  This exercise can be part of your overall shoulder routine.
