The Barbell Front Raise is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the shoulders, specifically the front delts. It helps to improve shoulder stability and strength.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Front Raise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip in front of your thighs. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Keeping your arms straight, exhale and slowly raise the barbell in front of you to shoulder level. Your palms should be facing down as you lift the barbell.
3. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, inhaling as you do so.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise to avoid strain on the lower back. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form before increasing the resistance.
