✅ What’s the Difference Between the Bent-Over Lateral Raise and the Rear Delt Raise?

👇 The Bent-Over Lateral Raise and Rear Delt Raise are the same exercise. The names are used interchangeably by different coaches and educational resources.

🚨 Bent-Over Lateral Raise Form

✅ Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart holding dumbbells in both hands at your sides. Bend at your waist and slightly bend your knees to lean over until your torso is nearly parallel the ground similar to the Barbell Bent-Over Row. Your arms should hang below your shoulders with your elbows slightly bent.

✅ Step 2: With your core tight and back flat. Raise the dumbbells to the sides until your elbows are in line with your shoulders. Your pinky should be slightly higher than your thumb as if you were pouring liquid out of the dumbbell.

✅ Step 3: Lower the dumbbells in control to the starting position and repeat.

🚨 Bent-Over Lateral Raise Alternatives and Variations

[wp_ad_camp_3]

✅ Prone Rear Delt Raise

This version limits the potential for rocking, helping to isolate the rear delt.

✅ Seated Rear Delt Raise

The seated position is a bit easier to perform and is a perfect option for following an intense back workout.

✅ Banded Rear Delt Fly

Using a band challenges the rear delt through the entire range of motion of the exercise and is a joint friendly method for developing shoulder strength.
