Bent-over dumbbell rear deltoids raise is an isolation exercise targeting the muscles of your shoulders.  It builds muscle strength as you pull the weights upward to the sides while your head is resting on an inclined bench.  The inclined bench is needed to stabilize your head, neck, and back as you perform the exercise.  This exercise can easily be done by beginners.

Perform your stretching and warm up exercise routine.  Position the inclined bench in an angle that will enable it to support your head as you bend forward from the waist.  Make sure that the bolts are properly placed, and the equipment is stable enough to support your head.  Stand in a distance that would enable you to bend forward without altering the natural curve of your back and neck as you rest your forehead on the inclined bench.  Stabilize yourself by planting your feet slightly apart.

Hold the weights and let them hang in front of you with your arms kept straight.  Exhale as you lift the weights with the use of your shoulder muscles, with your arms spreading straight at your sides.  When you lift your arms, do not over reach by raising your arms higher that your back.  Keep your arms at the same level as your shoulders and back.  This proper form will prevent injury from over-reaching and stretching.  Slowly go back to starting position, keeping your arms straight and inhaling.  Repeat this in the recommended number of reps and sets.
