5 Smacking Ways To Have Boulder Shoulders

#4 Bent-Over Rear Deltoid Raise

The bent-over rear deltoid raise is an isolation exercise that primarily targets the shoulders while also working on the trapezoid muscles.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed shoulder-width apart. Secure the dumbbells in both the arms and place them on the side, parallel to the body. With a straight torso, bend forward using your hips and slightly bend your knees.

Step 2: Gradually raise the dumbbells to the side until the upper arms are parallel to the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Follow a proper form and do not use momentum to raise or lower the dumbbells as it could lead to a serious rotator cuff injury. People with a history of back problems must exercise caution while performing the bent-over rear deltoid raise.
