Main muscles working (thicker lines)
Lie face down on a bench set to about 30 degrees, chest on the pad and toes on the floor, holding dumbbells under your shoulders with palms facing back and elbows slightly bent.
Raise the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc.
As they rise, rotate the arms outward so the thumbs turn up and the palms end up facing each other.
Stop when the arms are level with your torso and squeeze the shoulder blades together.
Lower slowly, turning the palms back as the dumbbells return.
Breathing: Exhale as you raise, inhale as you lower.
Rotate as you rise, not after
Chest stays on the pad
Light and slow
Skipping the rotation
Using weights too heavy to turn
Bending the elbows into a row
Use light dumbbells; the rotator cuff tires well before the rear delts.
