Prone Raise / Scaption With Dumbbells

Starting Position

• bend the hip, until your upper body is tilted forward to at least 45 degrees
• the arms are hanging down with a minimal bending, the palms point to each other
• the back is straight

Correct Execution

• lift the arms forward and outwards a bit, until they are in a line with your upper body (the upper body forms a Y then)
• keep the elbows slightly bent and the back straight

• afterwards let the arms sink down
• repeat it several times for an effective shoulder workout
