Video coming soon...

The battle rope bent-over lateral raise is a shoulder and upper back exercise that utilizes the battle rope.

By holding the battle rope handles with an overhand grip, you can perform lateral raises while maintaining tension on the ropes.

This exercise primarily targets the shoulders and upper back, helping to strengthen and tone these muscle groups.

While the battle rope bent-over lateral raise may engage some auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on the shoulders and upper back.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hold the battle rope handles in each hand.
Bend forward at your hips, keeping your back straight and core engaged, until your upper body is parallel to the ground.
Extend your arms straight down towards the ground, with the battle rope taut and your palms facing each other.
Keeping your arms straight, raise them out to the sides until they are parallel to the ground.
Pause for a moment, feeling the tension in your shoulders and upper back.
Slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and grip the battle rope handles with an overhand grip.
Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button in towards your spine, and maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.
With a slight bend in your elbows, raise your arms out to the sides, keeping them parallel to the ground. Imagine hugging a tree as you lift the battle ropes up.
Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you lift the battle ropes, feeling the tension in your upper back and shoulders. This will help to activate the targeted muscles effectively.
Control the movement as you lower the battle ropes back down, resisting the urge to let them drop quickly. This eccentric phase of the exercise is just as important as the concentric phase in building strength and muscle endurance.
