Dumbbell Front Raise

Dumbbell Front Raise Instructions

• Stand in a strong, athletic posture: chest up, knees slightly flexed, core braced, glutes engaged, and shoulders pinned back.
• Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing down.
• With your elbows slightly flexed, initiate the movement by contracting your delts and raising your arms parallel to the floor in front of you. 
• The arms are a lever for your delts. There is no excess arm movement or momentum. 
• Create the mind-muscle connection your delts are controlling the movement.
• At the top position, your palms are still facing towards the floor.
• Lower the weight in a controlled manner to the starting position.

*Tips*

• Avoid shrugging or pulling the weight up with your elbows. 
• Refrain from swinging/swaying the dumbbells upward.
