How to perform

Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Dumbbell Incline Rear Lateral Raise:

1. Start by adjusting an incline bench to a 45-degree angle.
2. Grab a pair of dumbbells and sit on the incline bench with your chest pressed against the backrest and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
3. Allow your arms to hang straight down towards the floor with a slight bend in your elbows.
4. Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
5. Slowly lift the dumbbells out to the sides until your arms are parallel to the floor, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
6. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

It's important to use a weight that challenges you but still allows you to maintain proper form. You can also perform this exercise with a cable machine or resistance bands if you don't have access to dumbbells.
