One-Arm Cable Bent Over Lateral Raise
A unilateral rear-shoulder exercise with a low cable crossing in front of the body. A hip-hinged stance and free-hand support on the thigh accompany the outward arm arc, emphasizing the rear deltoid and upper-back control.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Cable Rear Delt Fly (Reverse Fly)
The Cable Rear Delt Fly, also known as the Reverse Fly, is an isolation exercise targeting the rear deltoid muscles of the shoulders.
Shoulders · Intermediate
One-Arm Rear Delt Fly
The Single Arm Rear Delt Fly is an isolation exercise targeting the rear deltoids, part of the shoulder muscle group. It also engages the upper back muscles, including the rhomboids and trapezius, to a lesser extent. This exercise helps improve shoulder stability and posture.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Incline Powell Raise
An isolation exercise targeting the rear deltoids, upper back, and rotator cuff muscles. It is performed on an incline bench to enhance the range of motion and muscle engagement. This exercise helps improve shoulder stability and posture.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Dumbbell Upright Row
A standing bilateral pull with two dumbbells held in front of the body. It trains shoulder abduction and scapular elevation, with emphasis on the side deltoids and upper trapezius.
Shoulders · Beginner
Machine Reverse Flyes
Machine Reverse Flyes target the posterior deltoids, upper back, and trapezius muscles. This exercise is performed using a reverse fly machine, which provides stability and isolates the rear shoulder muscles effectively. It's ideal for improving shoulder strength and posture.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Dumbbell Incline T Raise
An upper-back and shoulder exercise performed on an incline bench with the arms moving in a T-shaped path. It emphasizes the rear deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, and scapular control.
Shoulders · Beginner
Lateral to Front Raise
A compound shoulder exercise that targets the deltoid muscles, specifically the anterior and lateral heads. This movement involves lifting dumbbells from the sides of your body to the front, engaging both shoulder abduction and flexion.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Cable Upright Row
A standing shoulder and upper-back exercise using a narrow overhand grip on a short bar attached to a low pulley. The upward pull combines shoulder abduction and scapular elevation with elbow flexion.
Shoulders · Beginner
Bent Over Dumbbell Lateral Raise
Bent-over lateral raises target the posterior deltoids, upper back, and trapezius muscles. This exercise is performed by bending at the hips with a neutral spine and lifting weights to the side, focusing on shoulder abduction.
Shoulders · Beginner
Dumbbell Seated Lateral Raise
A seated shoulder-isolation exercise that targets the lateral deltoids. The seated position limits lower-body momentum and keeps the focus on the middle shoulder.
Shoulders · Beginner
One-Arm Cable Lateral Raise
The Single Arm Cable Side Lateral Raise is an isolation exercise targeting the lateral deltoid muscles. It involves lifting a cable handle to the side of the body, focusing on shoulder abduction. This exercise helps in building shoulder width and improving shoulder stability.
