Barbell Front Raise
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The barbell front raise effectively targets the front deltoids. It enhances shoulder strength and stability, improving overall shoulder function. Performing this movement with a barbell engages the anterior head of the deltoid muscle, helping to increase muscular endurance and definition.
How to do it
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in front with palms facing down.
- Keep your arms straight and lift the barbell to shoulder height, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
- Pause briefly at the top and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
- Maintain a steady pace, avoiding momentum, throughout the exercise.
