Dumbbell W-Raise
- 1 - Hold a light dumbbell in each hand and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back flat and core braced.
- 2 - Let your arms hang down with a slight bend in the elbows, palms facing inward or slightly forward.
- 3 - Pull your shoulder blades down and back, then raise your upper arms out to the sides while bending your elbows to form a “W” shape.
- 4 - Keep your elbows below shoulder height and focus on squeezing the upper back and rear shoulders rather than shrugging.
- 5 - Pause briefly at the top with control, keeping your neck relaxed and spine neutral.
- 6 - Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position slowly and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
