Barbell Front Raise

Barbell Front Raise Instructions

• Assume a strong lifting position: core and glutes activated, shoulders pinned back, chest up, knees slightly flexed, and eyes fixed ahead.
• Grip the barbell with a pronated hand position at shoulder-width.
• Using your delts, slowly raise the bar up to shoulder height while keeping your arms extended and elbows slightly bent.
• Your arms are a lever for your delts. Don't use momentum or other musculature to complete the exercise.
• Don't shrug your shoulders, keep your strong posture. 
• After a quick pause, lower the barbell in a controlled fashion.
• Don't drop the bar from the top.

*Tips*

• Refrain from raising the bar above shoulder height.
• Focus on activating your delts to control the bar path.
• Don't pull the weight vertically like an upright row.
