How to do a bent over lateral raise

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, step on the center of the band, and hinge forward at the hips with a flat back.
  2. Hold a band handle in each hand with arms hanging down and a slight bend in the elbows.
  3. Raise your arms out to the sides until they are in line with your shoulders.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
  5. Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position with control.

Form tips

  • Keep your back flat and core braced throughout.
  • Maintain a slight bend in the elbows, don't lock them out.
  • Lead with the elbows and avoid using momentum.
