Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Holding light dumbbells, hinge forward at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel, keeping your back straight and arms hanging. Raise the weights out to the sides and upwards in a single motion, focusing on rear deltoid activation. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position while exhaling.
Use a lighter weight, around 60% of what you'd use for lateral raises, to maintain control. Initiate the movement solely through your shoulder joint, avoiding shoulder blade engagement. Maintain a flat torso throughout the exercise; seated performance can help with positioning. Prioritize a full range of motion with deliberate, smooth movements.
