Dumbbell Incline Shoulder Raise

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Lie back on a moderately inclined bench with a light dumbbell in each hand and your feet planted.
2. 02Let your arms hang beside the torso with a soft elbow bend and your shoulders set against the bench.
3. 03Raise the dumbbells in a smooth shoulder-driven arc until your hands reach approximately shoulder height.
4. 04Keep the elbows softly fixed and avoid turning the movement into a press, curl, or shrug.
5. 05Lower the weights slowly along the same path until your arms return to the starting position.
