Lying Single Dumbbell Reach Over

KEY POINTS

Start by setting your rib cage on the floor and lengthening your upper spine.

Externally rotate your shoulders so that your inner elbows hug toward each other.

Keep the round part of your shoulder away from your ears. Keep the ball of your shoulder in the socket.

Keeping your elbows bent will make this exercise easier. To increase your challenge, slowly begin to explore straightening your elbows as you take the weight overhead.

Pause in the extended position for a few beat.

Pull your shoulder blades down your back (away from your ears) to return the dumbbell to your starting position.
