This page covers how to perform the bent over dumbbell rear delt raise with head on bench, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.
This version of the rear delt raise uses the bench to reduce momentum and isolate the muscles more effectively. Ideal for focused shoulder development.
Instructions
- Stand behind an incline bench and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
- Lean forward until your head rests on the bench, with arms hanging straight down.
- With a slight bend in your elbows, lift the dumbbells out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor.
- Squeeze at the top, then slowly lower the weights back down.
