-About
This Y-raise targets your upper back and shoulders.
How to Incline Dumbbell Y Raise
Starting Position
Lie face down on an incline bench (about 30 degrees) with your chest against it. Hold light dumbbells in both hands and let your arms hang down towards the floor.
Proper Form
With your elbows slightly bent, raise both arms diagonally upward to form a Y shape. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and feel the upper contraction, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting, inhale when lowering.
Precautions
Don't be greedy with the weight; focus on stimulating your shoulders and upper back. Don't tense your neck and keep your gaze directed towards the floor.
