Bent Over Lateral Raises to develop read deltoid Muscles

Bent Over Laterals are an excellent exercise to isolate and work specifically on rear deltoid muscles. Check the technique and blast your rear delts.

For a complete Shoulder Muscle development bent over lateral raises are a must do. Thus exercise hit specifically the rear deltoid head, isolating it better than any other shoulder exercise.
 

Execution

This exercise can be performed both standing and seated. I prefer the seated version as it calls for strict movement.
 

Steps

1. Sit at the end of a bench with a pair of dumbbells.

2. Bend forward and let the dumbbells hang on your sides.

3. Lift the dumbbells raising them on your sides to a level slightly than your shoulders.

4. Now lower the dumbbells back to your sides.

Points to Remember

• Your arms should be parallel to your shoulders. Do not lift backwards or forwards.
• Keep form strict to isolate the rear delts.

Standing Bent Over Laterals

This exercise is done just like the seated one but with standing and your body bent 45 degrees from your waist and dumbbells coming to rest in front of you palms facing each other.
