LANCE BUMGARNER: The next exercise that I will execute is a rear lateral raise working primarily the back of your shoulders, the posterior deltoid. First things first, take a seat on the bench. Get your feet placement and you want to form approximately a 90-degree angle with your legs. Grab your dumbbells right behind your heels, keeping your palm facing in. You want to raise the weights straight out to the side and back down, side, back down. Exhale, inhale. Notice how I'm keeping the weights in control, no fast, jerky movements, maintaining good form at all times. After you complete the set, return the weights to the starting position. A few things to remember when doing this exercise is keep your back nice and straight as you bend over to do the lateral raise, keep your palms facing in and your feet rooted on the ground forming a 90-degree angle. This is how you do a rear lateral raise working the posterior deltoids.
