How to do it

  1. Set an incline bench and lie on your side along the pad with the working arm hanging free.
  2. Hold one dumbbell in the lower hand with a neutral grip and a slight bend in the elbow.
  3. Brace the free hand on the top of the bench and keep the torso quiet on the pad.
  4. Raise the dumbbell out to the side until the arm is about parallel to the floor.
  5. Pause without shrugging the working shoulder toward the ear.
  6. Lower under control to the hang and repeat, then switch sides.

Common mistakes

  • Raising the bell past shoulder height, which hands the work to the traps.
  • Rolling the torso off the pad to heave the weight up.
  • Straightening the elbow so the joint takes the load.
  • Using a standing hip swing that the bench was meant to remove.
