How to do it
The bent-over lateral raise works the rear shoulders and upper back.
Standing, knees slightly bent, hinge your torso forward with a flat back, a dumbbell in each hand under the shoulders, elbows slightly bent.
Raise your arms out to the sides up to shoulder height while keeping the same elbow bend, then lower slowly.
Use light loads lifted: if you have to use momentum with your torso, it is too heavy.
