Dumbbell Incline Shoulder Raise

Coaching cues

• Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle and sit on it with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing down.
• Rest the dumbbells on your thighs and lean back onto the bench.
• Use your thighs to help raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, then rotate your wrists so that your palms are facing forward.
• Exhale and slowly raise the dumbbells above your head, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
• Pause for a moment at the top, then inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
