REAR DELTOID RAISE
Start by choosing the appropriate weighted dumbbell.
Suitable dumbbell weight for a shoulder raise would typically be between 3 and 10 pounds.
Lighter weight is recommended as the rear deltoid muscle is actually smaller in size and does not require a lot of weight to be worked thoroughly.
Loosely grip the dumbbells with your thumb on top of the weight and next to your index finger. This will ensure that you will not be pushing the weight into the air as if you were performing a shoulder press.
Remember that the shoulder muscles are activated when the elbow raises and not when the hand is raised. Your hand is merely attached to the weight and does not help with any other aspect of the movement.
Bend your knees slightly.
Bend forward at your hips until you reach a 45 degree angle at your hip.
Keep your back absolutely straight.
Let your arms hang straight down holding the weights loosely in your hands.
Crack a slight bend in your arms and begin to raise your elbows straight up into the air at your side until you cannot go any higher..
Return back to your original position with your arms hanging straight down.
Repeat 10 to 15 times depending on your desired goal.
