When we exercise in the gym every day, we often use equipment such as dumbbells. For different muscle groups, with the assistance of dumbbells, we can get Better workout. People often do bent-over dumbbell lateral raises, but the reality is that few people can do this action correctly. No wonder some trainers always can't find the feeling of training. It is possible that they are doing the action wrong. Today, let’s take a look at the key points of the bent-over dumbbell lateral raise.
Action Point 1: Pay attention to the wrist angle
We all know that the bent-over dumbbell lateral raise is mainly a training exercise for the rear deltoid muscles. The posterior deltoid muscles are more difficult to train. If the movements are not accurate when doing it, the effect will be even worse. When many people do bent-over dumbbell lateral raises, they will choose the form of action with their fists and eyes facing each other, while others will choose the palms of their hands to face each other. In fact, from the perspective of muscle stress, if the fists and eyes are opposite, the effect will be better.
Action Point 2: Straighten the arms
The reason why the bent-over dumbbell lateral raise can exercise the rear deltoid muscles is that after we bend over and make the lateral raise posture, we can turn the rear deltoid muscles up, creating a certain amount of stimulation. If during the training process, the elbow cannot be straightened well and the arm is bent too much, then you will find that the movements are perfunctory and it is difficult to effectively stimulate the rear deltoid muscles. Therefore, when doing bent-over dumbbell lateral raises, you must pay attention to straightening your arms as much as possible.
Action point three: shoulder joint angle
When we do bent-over dumbbell lateral raises, the best height is when the two dumbbells and the rear deltoid muscles appear to be on the same horizontal line after being raised sideways, and the upper arms are at right angles to the body. If the dumbbell is too far back, then the focus of our exercise will shift to the latissimus dorsi, and the rear deltoid muscles will not be well exercised. Special attention must be paid to this key point of the movement, otherwise it will be a wasted exercise.
