06 DUMBBELL T-RAISE

Targets: Shoulders, upper back

Do: 3 sets of

12 to 15 reps

(a) Hinge at the hips and bend over until your chest is parallel with the floor.

Holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing forward (pinkies together), let your arms hang down in front of you. (b) Keeping your chest parallel to the floor and your arms straight, raise the dumbbells up to shoulder height.

Slowly lower them back to the starting position with control. Again, no swinging here – let your back and shoulders do the work.
