How to: Incline Shoulder Raise

Primary Muscles Used:Shoulders, Anterior Deltoid

Exercise Families:Shoulder Flexion

Equipment:Dumbbell(s), Incline Bench

Trainer:Kelsey Wells

  1. Set an incline bench to a 35-degree angle. Holding one dumbbell in each hand, lie face down on the bench with both knees resting on the seat or feet planted on either side of the bench — whichever is most comfortable. Extend your arms to hold the dumbbells directly below your chest in an underhand grip (palms facing up).This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Using the muscles in your shoulders and back, slowly raise the dumbbells upwards and outwards until your arms are in line with your ears and they resemble the shape of a ‘Y’. You should feel a small squeeze between your shoulder blades.
  3. Inhale. Gently lower the dumbbells to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
