How to do it
- Set an incline bench and lie on your side along the pad with the working arm hanging free.
- Hold one dumbbell in the lower hand with a neutral grip and a slight bend in the elbow.
- Brace the free hand on the top of the bench and keep the torso quiet on the pad.
- Raise the dumbbell out to the side until the arm is about parallel to the floor.
- Pause without shrugging the working shoulder toward the ear.
- 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.
