Exercise/Body/Strength/Front Raise
Front Raise
- Practice raising a load in front of the body to train the front deltoids.
Setup
- Stand holding a light dumbbell in each hand in front of the thighs, or a cable handle from a low pulley.
Practice
- Raise the arms forward to about shoulder height with a slight bend in the elbows, then lower slowly.
Dose and Progression
- Sets, repetitions, resistance, and rest follow the training plan. Establish a repeatable movement with a light load first; add resistance gradually after completing the planned repetitions with consistent control.
Cues and Variations
- Add front raises when bench and overhead presses aren't developing the front deltoids enough. Reduce the load if you lean back or swing to lift.
